- W3124421891 abstract "Background: The prevalence of true asymptomatic COVID-19 cases is critical to policy makers considering the effectiveness of mitigation measures against the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We aimed to synthesise all available research on the asymptomatic rates. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane COVID 19 trials, and European PMC for pre-print platforms such as MedRxiv, Research Square, and F1000 Research. We included primary studies reporting on asymptomatic prevalence where: (a) the sample frame was not contingent on the presence or absence of symptoms, and (b) there was sufficiently long follow up to identify pre-symptomatic cases. Meta-analysis used fixed effect and random effects models. Results: We screened 571 articles and included five studies from three countries (China (2), USA (2), Italy (1)) that include 599 COVID-19 cases and 9,297 contacts. Diagnosis in all studies was confirmed using a RT-PCR test. The proportion of asymptomatic cases ranged from 6% to 41%. Meta-analysis (fixed effect) found that the proportion of asymptomatic cases was 16% (95% CI: 12% - 20%) overall; higher in non-aged care 19% (15% - 24%), and lower in long-term aged care 8% (4% - 14%). Two studies provided direct evidence of forward transmission of the infection by asymptomatic cases, but suggested lower rates than symptomatic cases. Conclusion: Our meta-analytic estimates of the prevalence of asymptomatic COVID-19 cases are lower than many highly publicized studies, but still substantial. Further robust epidemiological evidence is urgently needed, including in sub-populations such as children, to better understand the importance of asymptomatic cases for driving spread of the pandemic.Funding Statement: OB is supported by NHMRC Grant APP1106452.
