The effect of SARS-CoV-2 testing on healthcare-seeking behaviour at primary care level
Findings from this Dutch-population-based cohort suggest that GP consultations between March 2022 and May 2023 may have differed by self-test result and vaccination status, indicating that selection bias in the TND COVID-19 VE estimates from testing before GP consultation could be a valid concern. More research in various settings is needed.
