Clinical Performance of SARS-CoV-2 Molecular Testing	2020-05-08		.txt	text/plain	3945	201	56	In summary, our study provides estimates of the clinical performance of SARS-CoV-2 molecular assays and suggests time frames for appropriate repeat testing, namely 15 to 20 days after a positive test and the same or next 2 days after a negative test in a patient with high suspicion for COVID-19. For the time-dependent analysis of conversion rates, we considered "initially positive" 216 patients with any "Detected" or "Indeterminate" SARS-CoV-2 result obtained during the 217 first calendar day of testing rather than the first positive test, to reduce bias due to 218 nasopharyngeal sampling inadequacy (Table 1) . Considering 'Detected' and "Indeterminate" as 239 positive, 1,471 repeat-tested patients had one or more SARS-CoV-2 positive results over 240 time; only 61.9% were positive on the initial test and only 69.3% had a positive result on 241 the first day (Table 1) .	./cache/cord-325910-qiay8n43.txt	./txt/cord-325910-qiay8n43.txt
