Diagnostic validation of two SARS-CoV-2 immunochromatographic tests in Slovenian and Croatian hospitals.
To diagnostically validate two point-of-care (POC) rapid antigen tests for SARS-CoV-2 by comparing their results with those of laboratory-based real-time polymerase chain reaction tests (RT-PCR). ⋯ The antigen tests are practical and reliable screening assays for SARS CoV-2 in emergency care departments. Both antigen tests can be used as screening tests to reduce the number of patients waiting for RT-PCR results. Even more, they can be used to quickly isolate COVID-19 patients and reduce hospital transmissions.
