Detaillierte Beschreibung
The DECIPHER project aims to improve the diagnostic capacity for VHFs by developing a novel POC diagnostic tools capable of detecting EBOV and LASV. These tools are designed to enhance diagnostic sensitivity and specificity compared to existing rapid diagnostic solutions, thereby enabling faster and more accurate case detection. Improved diagnostic performance is expected to lead to better patient care and more effective outbreak control. Additionally, it aims to minimize healthcare worker's exposure to contaminated bodily fluids by supporting self-testing with healthcare worker assistance.
To validate the clinical performance of the EBOV DECIPHER bioassay modules, two retrospective studies will be conducted using biobanked samples from patients previously tested for EBOV. These samples, collected by the INRB, include both test-positive and test-negative cases confirmed by gold-standard RT-PCR assays. These studies are crucial steps in the evaluation of the DECIPHER diagnostic tool. Leveraging existing biobanked samples allows for the generation of clinically relevant performance data without the need for new patient recruitment.
The primary objective is to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of the bioassay modules for EBOV compared to standard RT-PCR on biobanked patient samples. As a secondary objective, the investigators will evaluate other endpoints related to diagnostic accuracy and concordance (e.g. positive and negative predictive values) and the investigators will evaluate the user-friendliness (by the laboratory technician) of the bioassay modules.

Assess sensitivity and specificity of the DECIPHER bioassay for EBOV
Zeitfenster: Up to 1 year after the intervention
|
The assay gives quantitative results for EBOV, which will be classified as positive or negative.
It is assumed that a higher value indicates a higher viral load.
The threshold will be determined as follows: (1) the maximum threshold that achieves ≥80% sensitivity, (2) the minimum threshold that achieves ≥80% specificity, (3) the threshold that maximizes Youden's index and (4) the threshold that minimizes the Euclidean index.
Note that approach (1) and (2) will give an unbiased estimate of sensitivity and specificity at these pre-specified thresholds, while approach (3) and (4) is expected to overestimate sensitivity and specificity.
Sensitivity and specificity (together with their 95% Wilson CI) will be calculated using the observed number of true and false positives and negatives.
Positive and negative predictive value will be estimated using the calculated sensitivity and specificity.

Evaluate the usability of the bioassay by laboratory technicians - qualitative feedback
Zeitfenster: Up to 1 year after the intervention
|
Responses from the standardized questionnaire completed by laboratory technicians will be analysed using descriptive statistics.
Qualitative feedback regarding workflow integration, clarity of instructions, and implementation challenges will be categorized and analysed thematically to identify common patterns and areas for improvement in the bioassay system design and user interface.

Evaluate the usability of the bioassay by laboratory technicians - quantitative feedback
Zeitfenster: Up to 1 year after the intervention
|
Responses from the standardized questionnaire completed by laboratory technicians will be analysed using descriptive statistics.
Quantitative usability metrics (such as ease of use scores, time requirements, and satisfaction ratings) will be summarized using (cumulative) counts and percentages or using medians, quartiles and ranges as appropriate.
