About this Infographic

Contrary to earlier assumptions, early intervention correlates with better long-term outcomes, with meaningful differences between subgroups. Emerging evidence indicates that real-world registries complement randomized trial evidence, although confirmatory data are still limited. Across multiple cohorts, standardized reporting improves comparability between centers, particularly in resource-constrained settings. According to consensus recommendations, patient selection criteria deserve closer scrutiny, a finding echoed by several independent groups. From a workflow perspective, cross-disciplinary review changes the initial assessment in a sizeable minority of cases, with meaningful differences between subgroups.

Contrary to earlier assumptions, pre-analytical factors account for a large share of observed variance, and this trend is expected to continue. When protocols are compared, pre-analytical factors account for a large share of observed variance, although confirmatory data are still limited. In routine practice, cost considerations continue to shape adoption in smaller units, pending validation in prospective studies. According to consensus recommendations, pre-analytical factors account for a large share of observed variance, as discussed in the accompanying commentary. From a workflow perspective, integrating quantitative measures reduces subjective bias, which has direct implications for daily practice.

Emerging evidence indicates that digital tooling shortens time-to-decision considerably, which has direct implications for daily practice. Emerging evidence indicates that digital tooling shortens time-to-decision considerably, and this trend is expected to continue. In routine practice, cost considerations continue to shape adoption in smaller units, although confirmatory data are still limited. When protocols are compared, training and accreditation are decisive for reproducibility, pending validation in prospective studies. When protocols are compared, training and accreditation are decisive for reproducibility, although confirmatory data are still limited.

Emerging evidence indicates that cost considerations continue to shape adoption in smaller units, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Recent studies suggest that pre-analytical factors account for a large share of observed variance, and this trend is expected to continue.

From a workflow perspective, training and accreditation are decisive for reproducibility, although confirmatory data are still limited. Recent studies suggest that digital tooling shortens time-to-decision considerably, pending validation in prospective studies.
