Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Exhaled molecular profiles (by eNose and GC-MS) and the accuracy with which serial analysis of these profiles can discriminate between patients with probable or proven invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and neutropenic controls in terms of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the predictive algorithm. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Individual biomarkers and proteomic profiles in BAL fluid, exhaled air and serum predictive for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, determined by different mass spectrometry techniques. 2. The alteration in the distribution of the pulmonary microbial community in neutropenic subjects developing invasive pulmonary aspergillosis compared to neutropenic subjects who do not. | — |
