Predicting the occurrence of an adverse event over time is an important issue in clinical medicine. Clinical prediction models and associated points‐based risk‐scoring systems are popular statistical methods for summarizing the relationship between a multivariable set of patient risk factors and the risk of the occurrence of an adverse event. Points‐based risk‐scoring systems are popular amongst physicians as they permit a rapid assessment of patient risk without the use of computers or other electronic devices. The use of such points‐based risk‐scoring systems facilitates evidence‐based clinical decision making. There is a growing interest in cause‐specific mortality and in non‐fatal outcomes. However, when considering these types of outcomes, one must account for competing risks whose occurrence precludes the occurrence of the event of interest. We describe how points‐based risk‐scoring systems can be developed in the presence of competing events. We illustrate the application of these methods by developing risk‐scoring systems for predicting cardiovascular mortality in patients hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction. Code in the R statistical programming language is provided for the implementation of the described methods. © 2016 The Authors. Statistics in Medicine published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
