At a glance: sample preparation in family medicine

Across multiple cohorts, training and accreditation are decisive for reproducibility, particularly in resource-constrained settings. When protocols are compared, digital tooling shortens time-to-decision considerably, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Longitudinal data show that training and accreditation are decisive for reproducibility, although confirmatory data are still limited. When protocols are compared, standardized reporting improves comparability between centers, with meaningful differences between subgroups.

Contrary to earlier assumptions, threshold harmonization is still an open question, which has direct implications for daily practice. In multidisciplinary settings, integrating quantitative measures reduces subjective bias, a finding echoed by several independent groups.
