Quantifying the potential value of antigen-detection rapid diagnostic tests for COVID-19: a modelling analysis
Abstract Background Testing plays a critical role in treatment and prevention responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Compared to nucleic acid tests (NATs), antigen-detection rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) can be more accessible, but typically have lower sensitivity and specificity. By quantifying the...
