[QUOTE="YJMD, post: 747234, member: 1929"] Positive predictive value is very low, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Just means it's a test designed for screening. Not having to waste materials, time, and expense on 83/105 possible RT-PCR tests is probably very useful. Of course, what you don't have data on are false negatives. If you're missing actual cases on screening, that would be bad. Of course, it would be dumb to lower cutoffs if it doesn't actually help you capture more true positives. [/QUOTE]
