Abstract

Purpose: To study the positivity rate of conjunctival realtime polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Design: Systematic review and diagnostic accuracy meta-analysis.

Methods: MEDLINE and EMBASE were queried using medical subject headings terms. Diagnostic accuracy meta-analyses and forest plots were obtained using the RevMan software.

Results: After deduplication, appraisal of abstract titles and full-text analysis of 1441 articles, 42 articles with 3351 COVID-19 patients were included in this review. Of these, 412 conjunctival swabs/Schirmer paper strips tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR. The pooled sensitivity of the RT-PCR tests across the 24 studies with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients was 10.3%.

Conclusions: Only 1 in 10 RT-PCR tests performed on conjunctival swabs were positive for SARS-CoV-2. Although this suggests that SARS-CoV-2 is likely present and detectable in the conjunctiva, this detection method has low diagnostic potential.

结膜 Rt-Pcr 在 Sars-Cov-2 中的诊断准确性：系统综述和诊断准确性元分析。

目的：研究结膜实时聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）检测严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）的阳性率：设计：系统综述和诊断准确性荟萃分析：方法：使用医学主题词检索 MEDLINE 和 EMBASE。使用RevMan软件进行诊断准确性荟萃分析和森林图分析：结果：在对1441篇文章进行重复数据删除、摘要标题评估和全文分析后，本综述共纳入42篇文章，涉及3351名COVID-19患者。其中，412 份结膜拭子/Schirmer 纸条通过 RT-PCR 检测出 SARS-CoV-2 阳性。在实验室确诊的 24 项 COVID-19 患者研究中，RT-PCR 检测的总灵敏度为 10.3%：结论：对结膜拭子进行的每 10 次 RT-PCR 检测中，只有 1 次对 SARS-CoV-2 呈阳性。尽管这表明结膜中可能存在并可检测到 SARS-CoV-2，但这种检测方法的诊断潜力较低。
