Reconstructed diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the RT-PCR test for COVID-19

2020-04-29

Abstract excerpt

Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) targeting select genes of the SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been the main diagnostic tool in the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was aimed at the estimation of diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the first RT-PCR test developed by China CDC in January 2020. The study design is a secondary analysis of published findings on 1014 patie...
