Population health and implementation outcomes of self-testing for SARS-CoV-2 using antigen detecting diagnostics: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Brümmer LE. eClinicalMedicine 2026;:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eclinm.2026.103838.
[COVID-19 antigen-based rapid diagnostic tests (Ag-RDTs) for self-testing (C19ST) improves case detection and supports pandemic control with acceptable accuracy and meaningful societal benefits. These findings support the use of antigen-based self-testing as a complementary tool for a pandemic response. Studies included further highlight the limited use of standardised frameworks for evaluating population health and implementation outcomes of novel diagnostics.]
