Self-testing for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection with rapid antigen tests for people with suspected COVID-19 in the community

Joep J. J. M. Stohr et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of self-testing for suspected COVID-19 cases in the community using rapid antigen detection tests. The results showed high specificity and relatively high sensitivity of self-testing, making it an accurate tool for identifying individuals with a high probability of contagiousness.

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the general population by three prevailing rapid antigen tests: cross-sectional diagnostic accuracy study

Roderick P. Venekamp et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of three main SARS-CoV-2 Ag-RDTs and found that their overall sensitivities were 69-75%. The sensitivity was lower among asymptomatic participants, and false-negative Ag-RDT participants had a high positivity rate during follow-up.

Performance of three polymerase chain reaction-based assays for detection of SARS-CoV-2 in different upper respiratory tract specimens

Allison R. Eberly et al.

Summary: A comparison study of three different molecular assays for SARS-CoV-2 showed that the Abbott platform detected more positive samples than the other two platforms. However, all three methods showed over 90% agreement for nasopharyngeal specimens throughout the study.

Duration and key determinants of infectious virus shedding in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)

Jeroen J. A. van Kampen et al.

Summary: The study found that the median duration of shedding infectious virus in COVID-19 patients is 8 days, dropping below 5% after 15.2 days post onset of symptoms. High viral loads are associated with infectious SARS-CoV-2 isolation, while high serum neutralizing antibody titres are associated with non-infectious SARS-CoV-2.

Diagnostic Performance of Self-Collected Saliva Versus Nasopharyngeal Swab for the Molecular Detection of SARS-CoV2 in the Clinical Setting

Mohammad Khaja Mafij Uddin et al.

Summary: Saliva can be accurately used for early diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 in clinical and community settings. The sensitivity and specificity of saliva samples were 80.3% and 99.4%, respectively. Higher detection rates were observed in saliva samples when collected within 1 to 5 days of symptom onset.

Diagnostic performance of different sampling approaches for SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR testing: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Nicole Ngai Yung Tsang et al.

Summary: This study systematically compared the diagnostic performance of different clinical specimen collection methods for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Pooled nasal and throat swabs showed the highest sensitivity and positive predictive value, while saliva and nasal swabs also demonstrated good diagnostic performance. Throat swabs had a significantly lower sensitivity and positive predictive value and were not recommended for diagnosis. Self-collection for pooled nasal and throat swabs and nasal swabs did not affect diagnostic accuracy.

Diagnostic accuracy and feasibility of patient self-testing with a SARS-CoV-2 antigen-detecting rapid test

Andreas K. Lindner et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that laypersons suspected for SARS-CoV-2 infection can reliably perform self-testing with SARS-CoV-2 antigen-detecting rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs). Both self-testing and professional testing showed consistent sensitivity at high viral load. Most participants found Ag-RDTs easy to use, but deviations in sampling and testing were observed in some cases.

Head-to-head performance comparison of self-collected nasal versus professional-collected nasopharyngeal swab for a WHO-listed SARS-CoV-2 antigen-detecting rapid diagnostic test

Julian A. F. Klein et al.

Summary: In this study, a comparison was made between nasal mid-turbinate (NMT) self-collected swabs and professional-collected nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs using the Panbio Ag-RDT test. It was found that there was good agreement between the two sampling methods, indicating that self-collected NMT swabs performed comparably to professional NP swabs.

Diagnostic accuracy of rapid antigen tests in asymptomatic and presymptomatic close contacts of individuals with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection: cross sectional study

Ewoud Schuit et al.

Summary: The diagnostic test accuracy of two rapid antigen tests in asymptomatic and presymptomatic close contacts of people with SARS-CoV-2 infection on day 5 after exposure was more than 60%, increasing to more than 85% after a viral load cut-off was applied as a proxy for infectiousness.

Accuracy of novel antigen rapid diagnostics for SARS-CoV-2: A living systematic review and meta-analysis

Lukas E. Brummer et al.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the clinical accuracy of commercially available Ag-RDTs for SARS-CoV-2. The study found that Ag-RDTs can detect the vast majority of infected individuals in the early phase of the disease and those with high viral load, making them valuable diagnostic tools. However, concerns were raised regarding bias across datasets and the need for standardization in conducting and reporting clinical accuracy studies for improved comparability and data utilization.

Miroslav Homza et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of seven antigen tests using different sampling methods for detecting SARS-CoV-2, and found that the test using nasopharyngeal swabs performed the best, while others using anterior nasal swabs or saliva did not meet the WHO criteria for overall sensitivity.

Zsofia Igloi et al.

Summary: The Roche SD Biosensor rapid antigen test for SARS-CoV-2 demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for detecting symptomatic individuals in the early phase of the disease, particularly those seeking care within 7 days of symptom onset. These rapid antigen tests could play a crucial role in identifying the most infectious persons and stopping the spread of SARS-CoV-2.
