Figure S4 — Results of rapid antigen tests and Ct values of PCR tests on nasopharyngeal swabs taken postmortem and preprocedurally, related to Figure 1

(A) Contingency table comparing rapid antigen test (RAT) results with informative versus non-informative classification based on RNAscope staining. RATs were performed starting with COVID #9. In 27 of the 30 informative cases, a RAT was performed, and in 24 of these (89%) the RAT was scored positive. In 34 of 38 the non-informative cases, a RAT was performed, and in 27 of these (79%) the RAT was scored negative. (B) Ct-values of PCR tests ranked from low ( = high viral load) to high ( = low viral load) and RAT results from 9 informative cases (median 18.2) and 2 non-informative cases, COVID #58 and COVID #52.
