Initiating and Adjusting Insulin in Diabetes Mellitus 2
It would be great if MedCalc had the formula for initiating insulin, based on weight, and adjusting insulin, based on fasting glucose and current insulin units. There's already an app for that, but the formulas are public. Instead of having two apps, we could have only one app!

GAP prognostic index for IPF
This article has a calculator that allows physicians to calculate expected prognosis in IPF. Generally clinicians quote a median survival of 3 years for all of their patients at the time of diagnosis. This paper clearly allows us to stratify patients into 3 groups with very different prognoses. However the calculation is somewhat cumbersome and without a "medcalc" option, clinicians are likely to avoid doing the calculation and therefore prevent patients with this devastating disease from getting a more accurate prognosis.
