1: (D;V) Identify the study as developing and/or validating a multivariable prediction model, the target population, and the outcome to be predicted.

2: (D;V) Provide a summary of objectives, study design, setting, participants, sample size, predictors, outcome, statistical analysis, results, and conclusions.

3a: (D;V) Explain the medical context (including whether diagnostic or prognostic) and rationale for developing or validating the multivariable prediction model, including references to existing models.

3b: (D;V) Specify the objectives, including whether the study describes the development or validation of the model or both.

4a: (D;V) Describe the study design or source of data (e.g., randomized trial, cohort, or registry data), separately for the development and validation data sets, if applicable.

4b: (D;V) Specify the key study dates, including start of accrual; end of accrual; and, if applicable, end of follow-up.

5a: (D;V) Specify key elements of the study setting (e.g., primary care, secondary care, general population) including number and location of centres.

5b: (D;V) Describe eligibility criteria for participants.

5c: (D;V) Give details of treatments received, if relevant.

6a: (D;V) Clearly define the outcome that is predicted by the prediction model, including how and when assessed.

6b: (D;V) Report any actions to blind assessment of the outcome to be predicted.

7a: (D;V) Clearly define all predictors used in developing or validating the multivariable prediction model, including how and when they were measured.

7b: (D;V) Report any actions to blind assessment of predictors for the outcome and other predictors.

8: (D;V) Explain how the study size was arrived at.

9: (D;V) Describe how missing data were handled (e.g., complete-case analysis, single imputation, multiple imputation) with details of any imputation method.

10a: (D) Describe how predictors were handled in the analyses.

10b: (D) Specify type of model, all model-building procedures (including any predictor selection), and method for internal validation.

10c: (V) For validation, describe how the predictions were calculated.

10d: (D;V) Specify all measures used to assess model performance and, if relevant, to compare multiple models.

10e: (V) Describe any model updating (e.g., recalibration) arising from the validation, if done.

11: (D;V) Provide details on how risk groups were created, if done.

12: (V) For validation, identify any differences from the development data in setting, eligibility criteria, outcome, and predictors.

13a: (D;V) Describe the flow of participants through the study, including the number of participants with and without the outcome and, if applicable, a summary of the follow-up time. A diagram may be helpful.

13b: (D;V) Describe the characteristics of the participants (basic demographics, clinical features, available predictors), including the number of participants with missing data for predictors and outcome.

13c: (V) For validation, show a comparison with the development data of the distribution of important variables (demographics, predictors and outcome).

14a: (D) Specify the number of participants and outcome events in each analysis.

14b: (D) If done, report the unadjusted association between each candidate predictor and outcome.

15a: (D) Present the full prediction model to allow predictions for individuals (i.e., all regression coefficients, and model intercept or baseline survival at a given time point).

15b: (D) Explain how to the use the prediction model.

16: (D;V) Report performance measures (with CIs) for the prediction model.

17: (V) If done, report the results from any model updating (i.e., model specification, model performance).

18: (D;V) Discuss any limitations of the study (such as nonrepresentative sample, few events per predictor, missing data).

19a: (V) For validation, discuss the results with reference to performance in the development data, and any other validation data.

19b: (D;V) Give an overall interpretation of the results, considering objectives, limitations, results from similar studies, and other relevant evidence.

20: (D;V) Discuss the potential clinical use of the model and implications for future research.

21: (D;V) Provide information about the availability of supplementary resources, such as study protocol, Web calculator, and data sets.

22: (D;V) Give the source of funding and the role of the funders for the present study.
