Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
accuracy with which the Cyranose can discriminate between patients with probable or proven invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and neutropenic controls with fever
Time Frame: 4 days
The cross-validated accuracy with which the Cyranose can discriminate between patients with probable or proven invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and neutropenic controls with fever, defined as the percentage of correctly classified patients using the leave-one out method
