Thanks for linking the meta-analysis and the other papers; will read (and possibly update the post afterwards)! I especially appreciate that the meta-analysis includes studies of BinaxNOW, something I’d been looking for.
Sensitivity for Ct < 25: 94%, Ct > 3: 30%. (I’ll be writing more about these results in a bit, but the short version is that this strongly supports the belief that test sensitivity depends strongly on viral load and will be highest during peak infectivity).
Nice, I’d been hearing/reading about using cycle count to determine how much a test’s results track infectiousness, and that’s really to see the results so starkly supporting that. Looking forward to your writeup!
