inflated false positive rates and exaggerated effects that follow from choosing the cutpoint of a prognostic factor that minimizes the P value.

In biostatistics, optimal cutpoint bias refers to inflated false positive rates and exaggerated effects that follow from choosing the cutpoint of a prognostic factor that minimizes the P value. This meaning comes from Altman (1994) in JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute.[1]
