To the Editor: In their Commentary, Drs Dreyer and Garner1 extolled the virtues of real-time data from patient registries as an important supplement to data derived from clinical trials. They advocated for methodological research to increase understanding of what constitutes quality and a more directed effort to evaluate the strengths and limitations of different types of evidence. However, they did not acknowledge powerful predictive modeling tools that are available to transform real-time data into evidence defining optimal care.
