The 2025 Medical Laboratory Observer (MLO) State of the Industry (SOI) survey on Disease Management focused on Alzheimer’s/dementia and respiratory testing. With regards to the former, MLO queried medical laboratory professionals about clinical reasons for Alzheimer’s/dementia test ordering, specific biomarkers tested, methodologies used, and number of tests performed over the past year.
As for the latter, participating medical lab professionals responded to questions on respiratory testing volumes, viruses for which they have seen the most positive results, and types of tests their labs are using to diagnose respiratory viruses.
