Influence of seasonal and operator variations on diagnostic accuracy of lateral flow devices during the COVID-19 pandemic: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: BackgroundLateral flow tests (LFT) are point-of-care rapid antigen tests that allow isolation and control of disease outbreaks through convenient, practical testing. However, studies have shown significant variation in their diagnostic accuracy. We conducted a systematic review of the diagnostic accuracy of LFTs for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndromecoronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to identify potential factors affecting their performance. MethodsA systematic search of online databases was carried ou… Show more

“…Given the critical relevance of the S-ACE2 specific recognition for SARS-CoV-2 entry into the host cell, several inhibitors for this protein-protein interaction (hereafter called binders) have been developed as candidates for therapeutic intervention or as the base of detection devices ( 10 12 ). However, the continuous emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs), characterized by mutations located in crucial positions of S, almost invariably reduced the neutralizing capacity of natural antibodies ( 3 ), nanobodies ( 13 ), and designed proteins ( 14 16 ).…”
