Table A4.

Prevalence of COVID-19 equal to 9.5% with sensibility equal 27% and specificity equal 84.9%.

Covid-19
Oro-pharyngeal swabs Present Absent
positive 5 27 32
negative 14 154 168
19 181 200

The numbers reported are based on the sensibility and specificity reported by Wang et al [29]. PPV = 5/32 = 15.6% -> means when the test is positive; the likelihood to have a COVID-19 patient is 15.6%. NPV = 154/168 = 91.7% -> means when the test is negative; the likelihood to have a NO COVID-19 patient is 91.7%.
