The specificity of the test increased with higher CT score threshold for a positive result, but the corresponding sensitivity was reduced for a CT score of 8 or above.

The positive predictive value (PPV) of the DSTL EVD RDT, for the study population EVD prevalence of 11.5%, was 79.0% (95% CI: 54.4–93.8) for a CT score of 6 and above and increased at higher CT score thresholds for a positive result. A negative predictive value of 100% was achievable if a CT score 2 and above, a CT score 4 and above, or a CT scoreESCMID 6 and above, were classified Online as a positive Lecture Library result. @ by author DSTL EVD Rapid Test

• DSTL EVD RDT is highly sensitive, specific and performs well in an operational setting. ‘RULE - OUT’ screening test - The high sensitivity of the RDT would allow RDT- negative patients to be discharged - Those with a positive RDT should be considered high-probability suspected EVD cases, prioritized for isolation and tested. - In addition, emergency surgical procedures and obstetric deliveries could be performed without ESCMIDEVD transmission Online risk, following Lecture a negative Library RDT.

ReEBOV Antigen Rapid Test

The WHO approved the first RDT for use as a screening test for EVD - Sensitivity of 91.8% (95% CI: 84.5–96.8) - Specificity of 84.6% (95% CI: 78.8–89.4).

This RDT was evaluated on 147 fresh venous blood and 146 frozen plasma samples in a laboratory setting in Sierra Leone. World Health Organization (WHO). WHO emergency use assessment and listing for Ebola virus disease IVDs. Public report. Product: ReEBOVTM Antigen Rapid Test Kit EUAL Number: EA 0011-011-00. Geneva: WHO; 2015.

Performance of this test in an operational setting has not been reported.

This would allow healthcare workers to confidently and safely treat non-EVD conditions and may allow normal healthcare services to be maintained in future epidemics
