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%.
