Participant Flow

Participants were consented and enrolled from December 2024 to March 2025. Providers were not formally consented, their survey response was voluntary. Provider participation was preparatory to research only and was deemed Program Evaluation pursuant to 45 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 46.

371 participants were screened for enrollment into the study, 232 were found eligible, and 200 enrolled. Most participants declined enrollment because they were not interested or feeling too sick to participate.

Timeframe: emailed after SPOTFIRE testing, survey data collected from all participants through the end of the study (up to 4 months)

Population: Providers not enrolled as their participation was considered program evaluation. Some voluntarily completed surveys before and after testing patients.

Providers will be surveyed to learn how they might use the SPOTFIRE test in the future. Survey responses will be ranked and reported by response rate. Providers were asked to rank each patient population from 1-7, a nominal point value was given for this ranking to generate the scores (rank of 1=1, rank of 2=2, etc.) Lower scores indicate higher (more important) ranking. Mean rank score for each patient population is reported here to give the reader an idea of how important each item was for the group of providers.
