An Evaluation of a Molecular Point‐of‐Care Testing System Designed for Early Diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
On the basis of RT‐qPCR results, 549 oropharyngeal swabs were classified into four groups: MP‐positive (n = 109), MP‐negative (n = 160), RSV‐positive (n = 122), and RSV‐negative (n = 158). Using these as the reference standard, we evaluated a molecular point‐of‐care testing (mPOCT) system (EasyNAT) for simultaneous MP and RSV detection.

Low‐value care and variation in practice in the care of children hospitalized with bronchiolitis in Canada (CareBEST): Protocol for a multi‐center prospective cohort study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Low‐value care refers to health services for which the potential harms or costs outweigh the benefits of use. Bronchiolitis is the most common and among the most costly causes of pediatric hospitalizations. Evidence consistently shows that many common tests and treatments used to manage bronchiolitis do not improve outcomes ...
