Higher SARS-CoV-2 detection of oropharyngeal compared with nasopharyngeal or saliva specimen for molecular testing: a multicentre randomised comparative accuracy study

BACKGROUND: Testing is critical for detecting SARS-CoV-2 infection, but the best sampling method remains unclear. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether nasopharyngeal swab (NPS), oropharyngeal swab (OPS) or saliva specimen collection has the highest detection rate for SARS-CoV-2 molecular testing. METHOD...
