Association of COVID-19 RT-qPCR test false-negative rate with patient age, sex and time since diagnosis

2020-11-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Routine testing for SARS-CoV-2 in the community is essential for guiding key epidemiological decisions from the quarantine of individual patients to enrolling regional and national preventive measures. Yet, the primary testing tool, the RT-qPCR based testing, is notoriously known for its low sensitivity, i.e. high risk of missed detection of carriers. Quantifying the false-negative rate (FNR) o...
