Diagnostic Value and Outcomes of Systematic SARS-CoV-2 Screening in Asymptomatic Patients

Key Points

This study aims to assess the diagnostic value of systematic SARS-CoV-2 screening in identifying asymptomatic carriers.
Utilized a cohort study design.
Conducted universal screening for SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic individuals.
Aligned findings with community incidence of infection.
Detected asymptomatic carriers of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Findings supported infection prevention and control measures.
Highlighted the need to consider unintended clinical outcomes during low incidence periods.

Abstract

In this cohort study, universal SARS-CoV-2 screening detected asymptomatic carriers of SARS-CoV-2 infection, aligned with community incidence, and thus may support infection prevention and control measures. However, the unintended clinical outcomes, particularly during times of low incidence, necessitate careful contextual implementation.
