Abstract
Emerging evidence indicates that cost considerations continue to shape adoption in smaller units, which has direct implications for daily practice. When protocols are compared, real-world registries complement randomized trial evidence, which has direct implications for daily practice. Recent studies suggest that pre-analytical factors account for a large share of observed variance, which has direct implications for daily practice.
In multidisciplinary settings, variability between operators remains a key limitation, as discussed in the accompanying commentary. When protocols are compared, standardized reporting improves comparability between centers, a finding echoed by several independent groups. According to consensus recommendations, cost considerations continue to shape adoption in smaller units, a finding echoed by several independent groups.
Contrary to earlier assumptions, variability between operators remains a key limitation, and this trend is expected to continue. In multidisciplinary settings, integrating quantitative measures reduces subjective bias, although confirmatory data are still limited. Longitudinal data show that cross-disciplinary review changes the initial assessment in a sizeable minority of cases, with meaningful differences between subgroups.
