Association Between Rapid Antigen Detection Tests and Real-Time Reverse Transcription–Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay for SARS-CoV-2: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses
Abstract:Objectives: We aimed to assess the association between rapid antigen detection tests and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.Methods: We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and the Web of Science from their inception to 31 May 2023.
