Dutch participatory surveillance framework for evaluating evolutionary changes on SARS-CoV-2 affecting rapid diagnostic test sensitivity in 2022 − 2023
Evaluating RDT performance in the Dutch population and in-depth analysis of false-negative RDT specimens, led to no evidence for SARS-CoV-2 evolution affecting RDT sensitivity of the tests used. The participatory surveillance program Infectieradar is a powerful tool for our national surveillance of acute respiratory illnesses, as well as for research purposes. Since this framework offered both self-testing and the gold standard of PCR testing results.
