Number of publications per year focusing on diagnostic, prognostic, or either type of IPD-MA. Results were identified by applying the search strategy of Riley et al. [14] in PubMed on March 24, 2015. A sensitive filter was applied to identify those publications explicitly mentioning the study aim (diagnosis, prognosis, or prediction) in the title.
