Title: Evaluation of Alere i RSV for Rapid Detection of Respiratory Syncytial Virus in Children Hospitalized with Acute Respiratory Tract Infection Document date: 2017_3_24
ID: 1v56m2vq_12
Snippet: Our study has two limitations. First, our analysis was limited in terms of sample size and was conducted on NPS collected at one pediatric hospital during a single winter season. The Alere i RSV assay performance might differ in other settings, particularly when samples with lower viral load are considered. Our study results therefore are not necessarily applicable to adult testing. Second, this study used frozen samples in a laboratory setting. .....
Document: Our study has two limitations. First, our analysis was limited in terms of sample size and was conducted on NPS collected at one pediatric hospital during a single winter season. The Alere i RSV assay performance might differ in other settings, particularly when samples with lower viral load are considered. Our study results therefore are not necessarily applicable to adult testing. Second, this study used frozen samples in a laboratory setting. As the Alere i RSV test is intended for point-of-care analysis, it will usually be conducted in a clinical rather than a laboratory setting. To corroborate our findings, future studies should be conducted with larger patient cohorts in the pointof-care setting.
