Measuring clinical outcomes of highly multiplex molecular diagnostics for respiratory infections: A systematic review and conceptual framework.

Our review highlights the significant heterogeneity in outcomes reporting among clinical impact studies for highly multiplex molecular respiratory diagnostics. Furthermore, we developed a conceptual framework of outcomes domains that may act as a guide to improve considerations in outcomes selection and reporting when evaluating clinical impact of these tests. These improvements may be important in synthesizing the evidence for informing clinical decision making, guidelines, and financial reimbursement.
