To evaluate a daily antigen testing program for health care personnel. We examined antigen testing results between December 13, 2020, and April 30, 2021, from 5 forensic psychiatric inpatient hospitals throughout California. Among 471 023 antigen tests administered, 449 positives (0.0036% false positives) were detected. Antigen tests had low false-positive rates, high positive predictive value, and high levels of acceptability, important characteristics when considering their application in the community. Daily antigen testing was feasible and should be considered to reduce COVID-19 transmission. (. 2022;112(3):467-471. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2021.306588).
评估医疗保健人员的日常抗原检测计划。我们检查了 2020 年 12 月 13 日至 2021 年 4 月 30 日期间加利福尼亚州 5 家法医精神病住院医院的抗原检测结果。在进行的 471023 次抗原检测中，发现 449 次阳性（假阳性率 0.0036%）。抗原检测具有较低的假阳性率、较高的阳性预测值和较高的可接受性，这些都是在考虑将其应用于社区时的重要特征。每日抗原检测是可行的，应考虑用于降低 COVID-19 传播。（2022 年；112（3）：467-471。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2021.306588）。
