Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| WHAT Evaluation of the clinical performance of PsorXD-DermDisk • Diagnostic sensitivity and specificity against the Reference Method • Positive and negative predictive value against the Reference Method • Likelihood ratio against the Reference Method • Expected values in affected populations WHEN Day 30-60 not later than day 90 after establishment of the final true diagnosis (Reference Method) HOW The Reference Method is the final true diagnosis. This diagnosis is established by two dermatologists based on mutual agreement. If consensus cannot be reached, a third dermatologist is consulted, and the majority decision defines the final true diagnosis. The final true diagnosis is established when all additional diagnostics are available | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • Assessment of PsorXD-DermDisk results against each initial dermatological assessment and Comparative Method (majority opinion of 3 dermatologists) • Assessment of PsorXD-DermDisk result against each histopathological assessment and the majority assessment of 3 histopathologists • Assessment of both Reference Method and Comparative Method against each dermatological and histopathological assessment and majority opinion of histopathologists • Assessment of time and costs for diagnosis using PsorXD-DermDisk against the Reference Method procedure as requested by principal dermatologist • Evaluation of the sampling method: Practicality and user-friendliness of the sampling method used. | — |
