Specificity and positive predictive value of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid amplification testing in a low-prevalence setting

OBJECTIVES: When the prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is low, many positive test results are false positives. Confirmatory testing reduces overdiagnosis and nosocomial infection and enables real-world estimates of test specificity and positive predictive val...
