Abstract

From a workflow perspective, standardized reporting improves comparability between centers, although confirmatory data are still limited. Longitudinal data show that patient selection criteria deserve closer scrutiny, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Emerging evidence indicates that standardized reporting improves comparability between centers, particularly in resource-constrained settings. According to consensus recommendations, early intervention correlates with better long-term outcomes, particularly in resource-constrained settings. In multidisciplinary settings, early intervention correlates with better long-term outcomes, a finding echoed by several independent groups.

In multidisciplinary settings, variability between operators remains a key limitation, pending validation in prospective studies. When protocols are compared, variability between operators remains a key limitation, which has direct implications for daily practice.

Emerging evidence indicates that real-world registries complement randomized trial evidence, a finding echoed by several independent groups. Recent studies suggest that real-world registries complement randomized trial evidence, although confirmatory data are still limited.

Emerging evidence indicates that variability between operators remains a key limitation, and this trend is expected to continue. In multidisciplinary settings, patient selection criteria deserve closer scrutiny, as discussed in the accompanying commentary.

From a workflow perspective, standardized reporting improves comparability between centers, pending validation in prospective studies. Contrary to earlier assumptions, threshold harmonization is still an open question, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Emerging evidence indicates that variability between operators remains a key limitation, which has direct implications for daily practice.

When protocols are compared, integrating quantitative measures reduces subjective bias, and this trend is expected to continue. From a workflow perspective, digital tooling shortens time-to-decision considerably, pending validation in prospective studies.
