Diagnostic accuracy of a rapid diagnostic test for the early detection of COVID-19

Ginette A. Okoye et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card rapid antigen assay compared to PCR testing. The sensitivity of the rapid antigen assay was lower than reported by the manufacturer, but rapid tests have the advantage of providing quick results, making them useful in situations where swift results are critical.

Field evaluation of seven SARS-COV-2 antigen assays

Yong Kwan Lim et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical compliance of seven different SARS-CoV-2 antigen RDTs for COVID-19. The results showed that most RDTs had acceptable compliance for specimens with high viral burdens, but had high false-negative rates for specimens with low viral burdens. Therefore, RDTs should not be used alone for diagnosing asymptomatic patients and molecular assays should be combined.

Evaluation of rapid antigen detection kit from the WHO Emergency Use List for detecting SARS-CoV-2

Gannon C. K. Mak et al.

Summary: The Panbio COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test Device showed lower sensitivity compared to RT-PCR, with a clinical sensitivity of 68.6% for detecting specimens from COVID-19 patients. It shared similar performance with another kit from the WHO Emergency Use List, the Standard Q COVID-19 Ag, indicating the importance of understanding the clinical characteristics of RAD kits for guiding testing strategies in different settings.

Evaluating a novel, highly sensitive, and quantitative reagent for detecting SARS-CoV-2 antigen

Ryo Kobayashi et al.

Summary: A novel quantitative reagent for detecting SARS-CoV-2 antigen showed high sensitivity and specificity in early and accurate detection. However, discordant results were observed in some cases between antigen and nucleic acid tests, indicating the need for further investigation.

Comparison of the SARS-CoV-2 Rapid antigen test to the real star Sars-CoV-2 RT PCR kit

Alexander Kruettgen et al.

Summary: The study found that the specificity of the SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen Test is higher than its sensitivity, with high accuracy for samples with a cycle threshold of less than 25. It is suitable for differentiating contagious and non-contagious SARS-CoV-2 patients.

Diagnostic Accuracy of SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Tests for Community Transmission Screening: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Cheng-Chieh Chen et al.

Summary: Antigen tests for SARS-CoV-2 have high sensitivity, especially in symptomatic community participants. This method of detection may help quickly identify infected patients and prevent further transmission of the virus.

A systematic review of the sensitivity and specificity of lateral flow devices in the detection of SARS-CoV-2

Dylan A. Mistry et al.

Summary: This systematic review found that the performance of lateral flow devices is heterogeneous and dependent on the manufacturer. Some devices have high specificity but a great range of sensitivities were shown (38.32-99.19%). Test performance does not appear to be dependent on the operator.

Comparison of four commercial, automated antigen tests to detect SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern

Andreas Osterman et al.

Summary: A study evaluated the performance of five commercial antigen tests for SARS-CoV-2, finding that automated quantitative tests had specificities ranging from 97.0% to 99.7% but low clinical sensitivities. The study emphasized the need for careful evaluation of any alternative testing strategies before widespread implementation to complement nucleic acid-based assays.

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.

Viral Dynamics and Real-Time RT-PCR Ct Values Correlation with Disease Severity in COVID-19

Ali A. Rabaan et al.

Summary: Real-time RT-PCR is considered the gold standard confirmatory test for COVID-19, but there is disagreement among scientists about its reliability. Ct values are being used to diagnose or predict SARS-CoV-2 infection and are correlated with viral load and various hematological and biochemical markers. Numerous factors can influence Ct values and their interpretation plays a crucial role in determining viral load and disease severity.
