COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus that has become a health problem worldwide, including Indonesia. The SARS-CoV-2 was identified in the early 2020. For current diagnostic procedures, RT-PCR is considered as the gold standard in COVID-19 detection. However, there is another alternative method which is the chest CT-scan that can supports the diagnosis of COVID-19 faster. This study was aimed to determine the sensitivity of the CT scan in COVID-19 patients. This was a literature review study using three databases, as follows: Pubmed, ClinicalKey, and Google Scholar. The keywords used were sensitivity AND CT scan AND COVID-19. After being selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 literatures would be discussed. The results showed that the sensitivity of the CT scan among COVID-19 patients was quite good and had a sensitivity percentage ranging 70-90%. In comparison with the RT-PCR examination, the CT scan results are quite good. CT scan has a high sensitivity to COVID-19 and has a better result compared to the RT-PCR test.Keywords: sensitivity of test, CT scan, COVID-19 Abstrak: COVID-19 merupakan penyakit infeksi yang disebabkan oleh SARS-CoV-2 yang telah menjadi masalah kesehatan di dunia, termasuk di Indonesia. SARS-CoV-2 baru teridentifikasi pada awal tahun 2020. Untuk prosedur diagnostik saat ini, RT-PCR dianggap sebagai standar baku emas dalam deteksi COVID-19. Namun terdapat metode lain yaitu pemeriksaan CT scan toraks yang merupakan tes alternatif cepat untuk dilakukan dan dapat membantu menegakkan diagnosis COVID-19. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sensitivitas dari pemeriksaan CT scan pada COVID-19. Jenis penelitian ialah literature review dengan pencarian data menggunakan tiga database yaitu Pubmed, ClinicalKey, dan Google Scholar. Kata kunci yang digunakan yaitu sensitivity AND CT scan AND COVID-19. Setelah diseleksi berdasarkan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi, didapatkan 10 literatur yang dibahas dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sensitivitas pemeriksaan CT scan pada COVID-19 cukup baik dan memiliki rentang persentase sensitivitas 70-90%. Pada perbandingan dengan pemeriksaan RT-PCR didapatkan hasil yang cukup baik untuk pemeriksaan CT scan. Pemeriksaan CT Scan memiliki nilai sensitivitas yang cukup tinggi pada COVID-19 dan lebih baik dibandingkan RT-PCR.Kata kunci: sensitivitas tes, CT scan toraks, COVID-19
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
