Overview of model characteristics
| Recommendation | ICC practice (95% CI) | C-statistic model with random-effect practice (95% CI) | C-statistic model without random-effect practice (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Do not prescribe a local antibiotic for an infectious conjunctivitis due to a banal pathogen, unless for a high-risk patient | 0.08 (0.06 to 0.11) | 0.65 (0.64 to 0.66) | 0.54 (0.53 to 0.55) |
| 2. Do not prescribe benzodiazepines in patients with non-specific lower back pain | 0.10 (0.07 to 0.15) | 0.67 (0.66 to 0.68) | 0.59 (0.58 to 0.60) |
| 3. Do not chronically prescribe or continue acid-reducing medication, without proper indication | 0.06 (0.03 to 0.09) | 0.72 (0.71 to 0.72) | 0.70 (0.69 to 0.70) |
