 iversity of Manitoba\n\n聽\n\nAt the end of the presentation\, the audience
  will:\n\n\n	Explain why no single diagnostic test can serve as a perfect r
 eference standard for Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI)\, and recog
 nize the consequences for patient care.\n	Describe in simple terms how late
 nt class analysis helps evaluate test accuracy when no gold standard exist
 s\, and how it was applied in this CDI study.\n	Apply the study鈥檚 findings 
 to clinical decision-making\, by understanding how combining NAAT with tox
 in detection (especially SIMOA assays) can improve diagnostic strategies\,
  while still requiring clinical judgment.\n\n\nRoom: D02.1312\n\nZoom link
