World Health Organization reports insufficient evidence to support syndromic screening for COVID-19 WHO SyndromicScreening COVID19 SARSCoV2 Coronavirus
By Nidhi Saha, BDSDec 28 2022Reviewed by Aimee Molineux According to a scientific brief by the World Health Organization , there is insufficient information to implement syndromic coronavirus disease 2019 testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 transmission prevention across land borders.
The term "syndromic testing" refers to using one test to target multiple pathogens with overlapping signs and symptoms. This may comprise testing for temperature and pulmonary or other complaints, observation, and completion of health statement documents. Before the COVID-19 outbreak, syndromic testing was applied for other communicable diseases such as Ebola virus disease, respiratory infections such as pandemic H1N1, and plague.
The study Related StoriesA systematic review was conducted to resolve the PICO question. Based on the GRADE methodology , evidence was classified as high, moderate, low, or extremely low in terms of quality. The findings In a cross-sectional retrospective study conducted in Uganda, thermal screening failed to detect COVID-19 infections at border crossings. The number of cases detected by the tests varied significantly across the seven investigations, ranging from 2.2% to 43.6%. Insufficient data was found to support or refute the claim that syndromic screening is associated with health risks.
