Decision Curve Analysis Explained

2025-08-19

Abstract excerpt

Decision Curve Analysis (DCA) has emerged as a valuable method for evaluating predictive models, yet its application in research—particularly pediatrics—remains limited. This article serves as a didactic tutorial, providing an applied introduction to DCA and clarifying key concepts that often generate confusion. The advantages of DCA over traditional metrics such as the area under the ROC curve (AUC) are highlight...
