This looks very promising, but it’s too early to say how accurate this test truly will be. Even if this papers methodology is replicated and the test again perfectly selects ME/CFS from healthy controls, it may perform terribly when used in a real clinical setting where the test has to distinguish CFS from the spectrum of other disorders that it will encounter.
In other words while the current paper suggests the tests sensitivity is likely to be high it’s much harder to come to any conclusion about it’s real world specificity.
