🕰️ What is Temporal Drift?
Data that clinical prediction models face when implemented can differ from the data they were trained on, even in the same setting. This can be due to changing patients, treatments or practices
The result? The model’s predictions start to go wrong.

Why are so many people with psychosis missed before their first episode?
We studied over 1,500 patients to find out whether those missed by early intervention services show different early signs. Here’s what we found. 🧵👇
