About this Infographic

Across multiple cohorts, cost considerations continue to shape adoption in smaller units, with meaningful differences between subgroups. Recent studies suggest that variability between operators remains a key limitation, and this trend is expected to continue. Across multiple cohorts, early intervention correlates with better long-term outcomes, and this trend is expected to continue.

Contrary to earlier assumptions, real-world registries complement randomized trial evidence, pending validation in prospective studies. From a workflow perspective, training and accreditation are decisive for reproducibility, a finding echoed by several independent groups.

Emerging evidence indicates that digital tooling shortens time-to-decision considerably, and this trend is expected to continue. Emerging evidence indicates that pre-analytical factors account for a large share of observed variance, which has direct implications for daily practice. When protocols are compared, cross-disciplinary review changes the initial assessment in a sizeable minority of cases, and this trend is expected to continue. According to consensus recommendations, early intervention correlates with better long-term outcomes, particularly in resource-constrained settings.
