A dataset summarizing the variation in false-negative rates of reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)–based SARS-CoV-2 tests as a function of time since exposure.
A data frame with 410 rows and 11 columns. Each row represents the results from a study. The columns include:
Name of the author conducting the study.
Type of testing performed.
Number of days since symptom onset.
Minimum number of days since symptom onset. Applicable for studies by Guo et al. and Kim et al.
Maximum number of days since symptom onset. Applicable for studies by Guo et al. and Kim et al.
Total number of tests conducted on a given day.
Number of positive test results.
Number of inconclusive test results. Applicable for studies by Kujawski et al. and Danis et al.
Number of positive but non-quantifiable test results, where the viral load is below the quantification threshold of log10(1) copies/1000 cells.
Proportion of positive tests expressed as a percentage.
