结合PCR和CT测试进行COVID

Combining PCR and CT testing for COVID

Chen Shen, Ron Mark, Nolan J. Kagetsu, Anton S. Becker, Yaneer Bar-Yam

摘要:

我们分析了使用筛查CT扫描评估潜在COVID-19感染的效果,以便根据病毒性肺炎诊断进行隔离和接触者追踪。然后,基于COVID诊断,使用RT-PCR进行持续分离。CT扫描的低假阴性率和快速结果导致传播显著减少。与PCR本身相比,广泛使用CT扫描筛查的60天后病例减少高达$50\times$,有效生殖率$R(t)$的减少为$0.20$。我们的研究结果表明,通过将社交距离与CT扫描和接触者追踪相结合,COVID可能会更快地消失。

英文摘要:

We analyze the effect of using a screening CT-scan for evaluation of potential COVID-19 infections in order to isolate and perform contact tracing based upon a viral pneumonia diagnosis. RT-PCR is then used for continued isolation based upon a COVID diagnosis. Both the low false negative rates and rapid results of CT-scans lead to dramatically reduced transmission. The reduction in cases after 60 days with widespread use of CT-scan screening compared to PCR by itself is as high as $50\times$, and the reduction of effective reproduction rate $R(t)$ is $0.20$. Our results imply that much more rapid extinction of COVID is possible by combining social distancing with CT-scans and contact tracing.
