The life-saving impact of new diagnostic and prognostic technologies that aim to reduce the burden of infectious diseases is often not well understood
The potential benefits of other interventions such as drugs and vaccines can be estimated by counting the numbers treated and multiplying that by the effect size of the intervention, understanding the role that diagnostics can have requires more complex analyses
