Coronavirus Diagnostics & Prognostics

The Coronavirus Diagnostics and Prognostics topic includes research on tools to identify coronavirus infections and diseases caused by coronaviruses and help predict how illness may progress. It covers the development and use of diagnostic tests and factors that affect people’s access to testing and willingness to use them.

Testing can help determine whether a person has an infection, and prognostic tools estimate the likelihood of outcomes such as severe illness. Reliable information can guide care and help identify people who need closer monitoring. Research can improve these tools and make them more useful and accessible in clinical and community settings.
