Performance of the BD Veritor system SARS-CoV-2 antigen test among asymptomatic collegiate athletes: A diagnostic accuracy study.

Background: COVID-19 testing strategies and determining the accuracy of tests is crucial for the prevention of disease in asymptomatic communities.

Objective: To determine the positive predictive value for the BD Veritor System for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 (BD Veritor System) among asymptomatic athletes and athletic staff in a University setting. Secondarily, a cost savings analysis was conducted to evaluate the benefits of a rapid antigen testing strategy over a universal PCR-based strategy.

A systematic review comparing at-home diagnostic tests for SARS-CoV-2: Key points for pharmacy practice, including regulatory information.

Background: Home-based rapid diagnostic testing can play an integral role in controlling the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Objectives: This review aimed to identify and compare at-home diagnostic tests that have been granted Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) and convey details about COVID-19 diagnostic tests, including regulatory information, pertinent to pharmacy practice.

Methods: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) online resources pertaining to COVID-19 tests, EUAs, and medical devices were consulted, as were linked resources from FDA's webpages.
