In this study, we explored the clinical value of next-generation metagenome sequencing (mNGS) using bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples from patients with acid-fast staining (AFS) sputum smear
Understanding the factors leading each stakeholder to participate in an experimental trial is a key element for improving trial set-up and for identifying selection bias in statistical analyses. An ex
