Abstract
Objective: To assess similarity between the rapid test and the RT-PCR test in screening test of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection. Subject and method: 3337 patients were tested for SARS-CoV-2 virus by two methods of rapid test and RT-PCR test, cross-sectional study. Result: Overall sensitivity and specificity of the rapid test were 53.77% with 95%CI: 48.12% - 59.35% and 99.90% with 95% CI: 99.71% - 99.98%. The positive rate of rapid test was found to be higher at cut-off period value < 20. The similarity calculated by Cohen's kappa coefficient was 66.4%. Conclusion: Rapid antigen test can be used as a screening test to identify SARS-CoV-2 virus infection status.
