    Abstract Accurate and rapid point-of-care (PoC) diagnostics are critical to the control of the COVID-19 pandemic. The current standard for accurate diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 is laboratory-based reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays. Here, a preliminary prospective performance evaluation of the QuantuMDx Q-POC SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR assay is reported. Between November 2020 and March 2021, 49 longitudinal combined nose/throat (NT) swabs from 29 individuals hospitalised with RT-PCR confirmed COVID-19 were obtained at St George's Hospital, London. In addition, 101 mid-nasal (MN) swabs were obtained from healthy volunteers in June 2021. These samples were used to evaluate the Q-POC SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR assay. The primary analysis was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of the Q-POC test against a reference laboratory-based RT-PCR assay. The overall sensitivity of the Q-POC test compared with the reference test was 96.88% (83.78- 99.92% CI) for a cycle threshold (Ct) cut-off value for the reference test of 35 and 80.00% (64.35-90.95% CI) without altering the reference test's Ct cut-off value of 40. The Q-POC test is a sensitive, specific and rapid PoC test for SARS-CoV-2 at a reference Ct cut-off value of 35. The Q-POC test provides an accurate option for RT-PCR at PoC without the need for sample pre-processing and laboratory handling, enabling rapid diagnosis and clinical triage in acute care and other settings.

    Abstract We would like to report the clinical characteristics of 3 people living with HIV (PLWH) in the United Kingdom within the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Our institution serves a population of 500,000 with a prevalence of HIV at 0.34%. At of the time of writing, 5th June 2020, only 3 PLWH tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on nasopharyngeal swab specimen using Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) have required admission to hospital.

    Abstract Background: Accurate, affordable, and rapid point-of-care (PoC) diagnostics are critical to the global control and management of the COVID-19 pandemic. The current standard for accurate diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 is laboratory-based reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Here, we report a preliminary prospective performance evaluation of the QuantuMDx Q-POC SARS CoV-2 RT-PCR assay. Methods: Between November 2020 and March 2021, we obtained 49 longitudinal nose and throat swabs from 29 individuals hospitalised with RT-PCR confirmed COVID-19 at St Georges9 NHS Foundation Trust, London (UK). In addition, we obtained 101 mid nasal swabs from healthy volunteers in June 2021. We then used these samples to evaluate the Q-POC SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR assay. The primary analysis was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of the Q-POC test against a reference laboratory-based RT-PCR assay. Results: The overall sensitivity of the Q-POC test compared with the reference test was 96.88% (83.78%- 99.92% CI) for a cycle threshold (Ct) cut-off value for the reference test of 35 and 80.00% (64.35% to 90.95% CI) without altering the reference test9s Ct cut-off value of 40. Conclusions: The Q-POC test is a sensitive, specific and rapid point-of-care test for SARS-CoV-2 at a reference Ct cut-off value of 35. The Q-POC test provides an accurate and afforda-ble option for RT-PCR at point-of-care without the need for sample pre-processing and laboratory handling. The Q-POC test would enable rapid diagnosis and clinical triage in acute care and other settings.

    Abstract Lack of reproducibility is an ongoing problem in some areas of the biomedical sciences. Poor experimental design and a failure to engage with experienced statisticians at key stages in the design and analysis of experiments are two factors that contribute to this problem. The RIPOSTE (Reducing IrreProducibility in labOratory STudiEs) framework has been developed to support early and regular discussions between scientists and statisticians in order to improve the design, conduct and analysis of laboratory studies and, therefore, to reduce irreproducibility. This framework is intended for use during the early stages of a research project, when specific questions or hypotheses are proposed. The essential points within the framework are explained and illustrated using three examples (a medical equipment test, a macrophage study and a gene expression study). Sound study design minimises the possibility of bias being introduced into experiments and leads to higher quality research with more reproducible results.
