Repeat Meningitis/Encephalitis Syndromic Panel Testing After an Index-Negative Result: A Retrospective Laboratory-Record Study

Syndromic molecular panels rapidly detect predefined central nervous system pathogens, but the incremental microbiological yield of repeating the same panel after an index-negative result is uncertain. We retrospectively analyzed 313 meningitis/encephalitis (ME)-panel episodes fr...

Observed Clinical and Operational Factors Are Associated with Biomarker Test Utilization in Respiratory Virus RT-PCR Testing: A Real-World Analysis of Inflammatory, Cardiac, and Thrombotic Biomarkers

Background/Objectives: Routinely collected biomarker data are generated through selective testing. We examined associations of observed clinical and operational factors with biomarker availability and explored the incremental discrimination provided by biomarker concentrations fo...
