BACKGROUND
COVID-19 has been the most priority of the world since the early 2020s. We aimed to investigate the importance, urgency and value of serological tests for monitoring and evaluation of COVID-19.
STUDY DESIGN
Rapid review.
METHODS
This study was conducted through a review of seroepidemiological studies to evaluate their strength and weakness in monitoring and predicting the epidemic situation of COVID-19.
RESULTS
Conducting serological studies is an important measure to determine the status of the COVID-19 in affected countries. These studies may also be used to estimate cumulative incidence of the disease, and to get an impression about the level of the epidemic.
CONCLUSION
If an accurate serological test is available it can be used for seroepidemiological studies and epidemic investigation in special context, but given the current situation, it may not be possible to be used for screening the normal population and in care and treatment. This research highlighted the importance and urgency of conducting serological studies for monitoring the COVID-19 situation and evaluation of the interventions.
背景
自21世纪20年代初以来，新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）一直是全球最为关注的问题。我们旨在探讨血清学检测在COVID-19监测与评估中的重要性、紧迫性及价值。
研究设计
快速综述。
方法
本研究通过回顾血清流行病学研究，评估其在监测和预测COVID-19疫情方面的优势与不足。
结果
开展血清学研究是确定受影响国家COVID-19状况的一项重要措施。这些研究还可用于估计疾病的累积发病率，并对疫情水平有一个大致了解。
结论
如果有准确的血清学检测方法，可用于血清流行病学研究及特殊情况下的疫情调查，但鉴于目前的情况，可能无法用于普通人群筛查以及护理和治疗。本研究突出了开展血清学研究以监测COVID-19疫情及评估干预措施的重要性和紧迫性。
