Comparison of SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR–positive samples and positive rapid tests
PCR | Rapid test |
Total | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Positive | negative | |||
positive | 8 | 14 | 22 | Sens: 8/22 = 36.4% [17.2; 59.3] |
negative | 3 | 24 | 27 | Spec: 24/27 = 88.9% [70.8; 97.7] |
Total | 11 | 38 | 49 | |
PPV: 8/11 = 72.7% [39.0; 94.0] | NPV: 24/38 = 63.2% [46.0; 78.2] |
Weak and strong responses were counted as positive.
Sens: sensitivity; Spec: specificity; PPV: positive predictive value; NPV: negative predictive value; RT-qPCR: real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
Square brackets give the 95% confidence intervals.
