| * //Impact of COVID-19 pre-test probability on positive predictive value of high cycle threshold SARS-CoV-2 real-time reverse transcription PCR test results.//((Gubbay, J.

| * Conclusion: “Large-scale SARS-CoV-2 screening testing initiatives among low pre-test probability populations [patients who are not symptomatic and/or don’t have a confirmed contact with a person sick with COVID-19] should be evaluated thoroughly prior to implementation given the risk of false positives and consequent potential for harm at the individual and population level.” |
