The quality assessment tool QUADAS-2 was used to stratify studies according to their risk of bias, and exclusion criteria included not providing the information deemed relevant for such a stratification, such as not indicating if the patients were symptomatic or asymptomatic, or identifying the source of the specimen for the reference standard, RT-PCR (eg, nasal, oropharyngeal, etc). A recent study by Li and colleagues 18 tested a cohort of patients assumed to have SARS-CoV-2 infection owing to CT findings consistent with a viral pneumonia and reported an RT-PCR sensitivity of 27.5% (n = 610).	./cache/cord-258819-4boe6t1v.txt	./txt/cord-258819-4boe6t1v.txt
