Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The main study outcome is the evaluation of the diagnostic performance of the mariPOC® respi test in a primary health care setting. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value will be calculated separately for each agent regardless of detection of more agents in samples.	—
