Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) serological assays have emerged as a response to the global pandemic, warranting studies evaluating their clinical performance. This study investigated 7 commercially available SARS-CoV-2 serological assays in samples from noninfected individuals and hospitalized patients.
SARS-CoV-2 qualitative serological assays by Abbott (IgG), Beckman (IgG), DiaSorin (IgG), EUROIMMUN (IgG and IgA), Roche and Bio-Rad (Total) were evaluated using specimens collected pre-December 2019 (n = 393), from nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) negative patients (n = 40), and from 53 patients with COVID-19 by NAAT collected 3-21 days post-onset of symptoms (POS) (N = 83). Negative agreement (NA), positive agreement (PA), and positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) at prevalences of 5% and 10% were calculated.
The overall %NA; 95% CI in the negative samples were: Roche 99.8%; 99.3-100.2, Beckman 99.8%; 98.7-100.0, Abbott and Bio-Rad 99.3%; 98.0-99.9, DiaSorin 98.4; 97.2-99.6, EUROIMMUN IgG 97.5%; 95.5-98.7, and EUROIMMUN IgA 79.7%; 75.9-83.5), accounting for positive/equivocal results as false positives. The %PA; 95% CI in samples collected 14+ days POS (n = 24) were: Bio-Rad 83.3%; 68.4-98.2, Abbott and Roche 79.2%; 62.9-95.4, EUROIMMUN IgA 70.8%; 52.6-89.0, Beckman 58.3%; 38.6-78.1, DiaSorin 54.2; 34.2-74.1, and EUROIMMUN IgG 50.0%; 30.0-70.0, accounting for negative/equivocal results as false negatives. NPVs ranged from 97.4%-98.9% and 94.7%-97.7% for prevalences 5% and 10%, respectively. PPVs ranged from 15.5%-94.8% and 27.9%-97.4% for prevalences 5% and 10%, respectively.
The Roche and Beckman assays resulted in fewer false positives, followed by the Bio-Rad and Abbott assays. While the Bio-Rad assay demonstrated higher antibody detection in COVID-19-positive patients, PA claims cannot be established with a high level of confidence in our sample population.
严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2 (SARS-CoV-2)血清学检测已成为应对全球大流行的一种手段,需要研究来评估其临床性能。本研究评估了 7 种市售 SARS-CoV-2 血清学检测方法在非感染个体和住院患者样本中的表现。
使用 Abbott(IgG)、Beckman(IgG)、DiaSorin(IgG)、EUROIMMUN(IgG 和 IgA)、罗氏和伯乐(总)的 SARS-CoV-2 定性血清学检测方法,评估了 2019 年 12 月前采集的标本(n=393)、核酸扩增检测(NAAT)阴性患者(n=40),以及 53 名 COVID-19 患者的标本,这些患者在症状出现后 3-21 天(POS)采集了 NAAT(n=83)。计算了 5%和 10%流行率下的阴性一致率(NA)、阳性一致率(PA)以及阳性和阴性预测值(PPV 和 NPV)。
阴性样本的总 %NA;95%可信区间为:罗氏 99.8%;99.3-100.2,Beckman 99.8%;98.7-100.0,雅培和伯乐 99.3%;98.0-99.9,DiaSorin 98.4%;97.2-99.6,EUROIMMUN IgG 97.5%;95.5-98.7,EUROIMMUN IgA 79.7%;75.9-83.5),将阳性/不确定结果视为假阳性。在采集 14+ POS 日(n=24)的样本中,%PA;95%可信区间为:伯乐 83.3%;68.4-98.2,雅培和罗氏 79.2%;62.9-95.4,EUROIMMUN IgA 70.8%;52.6-89.0,Beckman 58.3%;38.6-78.1,DiaSorin 54.2%;34.2-74.1,EUROIMMUN IgG 50.0%;30.0-70.0,将阴性/不确定结果视为假阴性。对于流行率为 5%和 10%,NPV 分别为 97.4%-98.9%和 94.7%-97.7%。对于流行率为 5%和 10%,PPV 分别为 15.5%-94.8%和 27.9%-97.4%。
罗氏和贝克曼检测方法导致的假阳性结果较少,其次是伯乐和雅培检测方法。虽然伯乐检测方法在 COVID-19 阳性患者中显示出更高的抗体检测水平,但在我们的样本人群中,PA 结果不能被高度置信地确定。
