Abstract: Introduction: Case definitions are used to guide clinical practice, surveillance and research protocols. However, how they identify COVID-19-hospitalised patients is not fully understood. We analysed the proportion of hospitalised patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19, in the ISARIC prospective cohort study database, meeting widely used case definitions. Methods: Patients were assessed using the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), World Health Org… Show more

“…However, experience from the US CDC shows that the median laboratory turnaround time from specimen receipt to reporting results was 30.7 h ( 32 ). Shorter turnaround times serve two purposes—first, to ensure that the patient receives appropriate care as quickly as possible, and second, to reduce the likelihood of nosocomial infection if the patient has not been properly isolated ( 33 ). Given that the family physicians/primary care providers are the first-to-detect Mpox infection in most cases ( 16 ), it is critical that doctors in such settings be properly trained and made familiar with both national and WHO case reporting guidelines.…”

“…Poor implementation of case definitions might superficially increase the number of suspected or probable cases that are reported to the healthcare system. However, upon confirmatory testing, this could lead to lesser test positivity rates and high rates of misdiagnosis, raising safety concerns ( 33 ). At the same time, this approach not only increases the demand of the confirmatory tests, but also balloon’s state expenditure for covering/subsidizing the associated costs.…”
