Here is my personal peer-review of #ENECovid19 project on the #seroprevalencia #seroprevalence of #COVID19 in Spain. Excellent work and document released yesterday by @SaludISCIII @sanidadgob @CienciaGob ciencia.gob.es/stfls/MICINN/M… (thread) 👇
Some background: These are preliminary results based on reading the IgG band of a rapid test for 60.897 participants. 97,55% of these participants did not have RT-PCR test for #COVID19.
The chosen rapid test is Orient Gene IgM / IgG from the company Zhejiang Orient Gene Biotech
The chosen rapid test is Orient Gene IgM / IgG from the company Zhejiang Orient Gene Biotech
According to the manufacturer, a sensitivity for IgM and IgG is 88% and 97% respectively, and a specificity of 100%. 3. Importantly, the degree of agreement for IgG measured by rapid test and by immunoassay in 16,953 samples analyzed so far is 97.3%.
