Evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 PCR Test Results During Hospital Admission and Positivity Rates in Pre-Operative Screenings

Öz

Objective: Following the emergence of the first cases in Wuhan, China, in late December 2019, the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) a pandemic which affected the entire world and continues to have an impact. This research aimed to contribute to the epidemiological and present guideline data of the pan-demic by evaluating the COVID-19 RT-PCR test results. Material and Methods: The results of the SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR test, which were studied in the Microbiology Laboratory of the Izmir Ka-tip Celebi University Ataturk Training and Research Hospital between 14.09.2020-30.06.2021, were retrospectively analyzed according to the months and reasons for admission(probable case, pre-operative screening). Results: The total of probable cases and pre-operative tests was 140.249. The ratio of females to males in test requests was 48.4%/51.6%. The test request rates by age groups were 2.1%, 64.2%, and 33.7% for 0-18 years, 19-50 years, and 51-99 years, respectively. November 2020, December 2020, and April 2021 were the months with the highest number of test requests. The rates of positive results from probable cases and pre-operative tests examined in these months were 26.8%, 25.7%, and 16.5%, respectively. The test positivity rate for probable case testing was 19.3% (21.300/110.381), and the positivity rate for female and male cases was 49.5/50.5% (10.546/10.754). The test positivity rate in asymptomatic cases, tested pre-operatively per screening rules in the pre-operative period, was 4% (1.200/29.868), and the test positivity rate of pre-operative positivity for females and males was 51.6/48.4% (619/584) respectively. As a result of analyzing the ten-month period in our region, COVID-19 infection is more common in males and the age range of 19-50 years, and it also spreads faster in November and April. Conclusion: An important point to be considered to prevent the spread of infection during the pandemic process is the follow-up of asymptomatic cases.
