Network meta-analysis (NMA) quantifies the relative efficacy of three or more interventions from trials evaluating some, but usually not all, treatments. This study applied the analytical approach of NMA to quantify the relative accuracy of prediction models with distinct patient applicability that are evaluated on the same population ('concurrent external validation'). ⋯ The NeRMA Score makes it possible to quantify the relative accuracy of binomial prediction models with distinct applicability in a concurrent external validation.
