Clinical predictors are factors or variables that can help healthcare professionals predict the likelihood of certain outcomes or events in a patient's health. These predictors are typically identified through research studies that analyze a variety of patient characteristics, such as age, gender, medical history, symptoms, and test results. By identifying and understanding these predictors, clinicians can make more informed decisions about patient care and treatment plans. Predictors can vary depending on the specific health condition or outcome being studied, and research in this area often aims to improve healthcare outcomes and patient care through the development of predictive models or algorithms.
