- W4220795936 abstract "<ns3:p><ns3:bold>Background: </ns3:bold>This study aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) testing of upper respiratory tract samples from hospitalised patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), compared to the gold standard of a clinical diagnosis.</ns3:p><ns3:p> <ns3:bold>Methods: </ns3:bold>All RT-PCR testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) in NHS Lothian, Scotland, United Kingdom between the 7<ns3:sup>th</ns3:sup> of February and 19<ns3:sup>th</ns3:sup> April 2020 (inclusive) was reviewed, and hospitalised patients were identified. All upper respiratory tract<ns3:bold> </ns3:bold>RT-PCR tests were analysed for each patient to determine the sequence of negative and positive results. For those who were tested twice or more but never received a positive result, case records were reviewed, and a clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 allocated based on clinical features, discharge diagnosis, and radiology and haematology results. For those who had a negative RT-PCR test but a clinical diagnosis of COVID-19, respiratory samples were retested using a multiplex respiratory panel, a second SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR assay, and a human RNase P control.</ns3:p><ns3:p> <ns3:bold>Results: </ns3:bold>Compared to the gold standard of a clinical diagnosis of COVID-19, the sensitivity of a single upper respiratory tract RT-PCR for COVID-19 was 82.2% (95% confidence interval 79.0-85.1%). The sensitivity of two upper respiratory tract RT-PCR tests increased sensitivity to 90.6% (CI 88.0-92.7%). A further 2.2% and 0.9% of patients who received a clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 were positive on a third and fourth test; this may be an underestimate of the value of further testing as the majority of patients 93.0% (2999/3226) only had one or two RT-PCR tests.</ns3:p><ns3:p> <ns3:bold>Conclusions: </ns3:bold>The sensitivity of a single RT-PCR test of upper respiratory tract<ns3:bold> </ns3:bold>samples in hospitalised patients is 82.2%. Sensitivity increases to 90.6% when patients are tested twice. A proportion of cases with clinically defined COVID-19 never test positive on RT-PCR despite repeat testing.</ns3:p>" @default.
