Description
Jiaqing Liu, writing solo, challenges a prediction model for repeat artery treatment after stenting, in a 2026 letter. The model, built on about 96,758 stent patients, claimed strong accuracy for forecasting who needs the treated spot redone within a year. Liu recomputes the published scores and finds they sit almost exactly at the level of guessing the average rate for everyone.
Once rounding is accounted for, the scores allow anything from no gain to slight loss against that blunt benchmark. Removing patients who died within the year also skews the test, the letter argues. Liu asks for raw, unrounded scores with uncertainty ranges.
