Two Thresholds, One Powerful Solution; Enhancing Overall dd-cfDNA Testing Accuracy in Heart Transplantation Using Fraction and Donor Quantity Score (DQS)
This session will highlight the exciting new data in support of noninvasively monitoring for rejection risk post heart transplantation. The addition of a second threshold, called Donor Quantity Score (DQS), has been shown to improve the overall performance of the test and reduce false positive rates by 37% compared to dd-cfDNA fraction % alone. This session will provide an overview of literature in support of the DQS metric as well as share personal clinical accounts in the form of case studies to highlight its value in supporting clinical decision making.
