The Estimation of Diagnostic Accuracy of Tests for COVID-19: A Scoping Review 2020-08-31 .txt text/plain 5760 318 47 OBJECTIVES: To assess the methodologies used in the estimation of diagnostic accuracy of SARS-CoV-2 real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) and other nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) and to evaluate the quality and reliability of the studies employing those methods. After its emergence in December 2019, the virus now known as SARS-CoV-2 was identified and sequenced in early January 2020, 1 allowing for the rapid development of diagnostic testing based on the detection of viral nucleic acid (i.e., real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction [rRT-PCR]). Articles were included if they met the following criteria on screening: 1) Peer-reviewed publication, 2) Study evaluated diagnostic test accuracy of NAAT, 3) Diagnostic test performed on ≥10 patients, 4) Diagnostic/Clinical sensitivity, specificity, other correlative statistics, or test positive rate were either identified by name or were included in the publication as a numerical value and we could reproduce the calculations. ./cache/cord-266036-qhlo99l7.txt ./txt/cord-266036-qhlo99l7.txt
