The authors have made every effort to ensure that the information provided by this software is accurate and conforms to the methods described in the publications. However, the probability estimates published in the papers and which are estimated with these calculators may differ from those found in current clinical practice. In addition, a patient’s diagnosis and prognosis may depend on other factors than those taken into account here. Thus, any decisions concerning patient care should not be based only on the use of these calculators, but should also take into account the patient’s past history and other current patient and disease characteristics. The model output supplements but does not substitute this individual clinical assessment. The creators of this website are not liable for clinical decision making that occurs between a physician and a patient.

As medical science is constantly changing and human error is always possible, the information contained in the prediction tools may be outdated, incomplete or incorrect. The authors, of Maastricht University do not warrant the calculators’ accuracy nor are they responsible for any omissions, errors or outcomes resulting from the use of these calculators. In no event shall either the authors, Maastricht University or external authors be liable to any party for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost profits, arising from the use of this software even if they have been advised of the possibility of such damage.

The authors, Maastricht University specifically disclaim any warranties, including but not limited to, the implied warranty of fitness for calculating the probabilities of outcomes for patients. The software provided hereunder is on an as is basis and neither the authors, Maastricht University have any obligations to provide maintenance, support, updates, enhancements or modifications.
