The screening value of RT-LAMP and RT-PCR in the diagnosis of COVID-19: systematic review and meta-analysis

Ruiyang Pu et al.

Summary: This systematic review evaluates the test accuracy of RT-LAMP and RT-PCR for diagnosing COVID-19. The overall sensitivity of RT-PCR and RT-LAMP was found to be 0.96 and 0.92, respectively, with false-negative rates of 0.06 and 0.12. Subgroup analysis suggests that mixed sampling and multiple target gene diagnosis methods have better diagnostic value. The study shows that RT-PCR and RT-LAMP have high value in diagnosing COVID-19, but there is still a false-negative rate of about 6%-12%.
