Combat-Related Invasive Fungal Infections: Development of a Clinically Applicable Clinical Decision Support System for Early Risk Stratification.

Conclusions: Overall, the IFI tools produced clinically useful, robust models. However, the clinical utility of these models is highly dependent upon the clinician's individual risk tolerance. The threshold probability for optimal clinical use of this CDS tool is currently being evaluated in an ongoing clinical utilization study. CDS tools, such as these, may facilitate early diagnosis of patients with or at risk for IFI, permitting early or prophylactic treatment with the aim of improving outcomes.
