Positive rate of RT-PCR detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection in 4880 cases from one hospital in Wuhan, China, from Jan to Feb 2020
Open accessAbstract
Highlights • The SARS-CoV-2 NAT positive rate was about 38% for the total 4880 specimens.• Male and older population had a significant higher positive rates.• 57% was positive among the specimens from the Fever Clinics.• Age, not gender, was the risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection in fever clinics.

“However, some investigators and clinical doctors argued that CT imaging should be served to identify the SARS-CoV-2 infection instead, since quite a bit cases showed progressive multiple peripheral ground-glass opacities in both lungs even the RT-PCR results were negative [1,2].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
