第一项儿科研究证明，在检测SARS-CoV-2时，鼻（中鼻甲）拭子检测的阳性率显著高于口咽拭子检测（Fisher精确检验0.046，Cohen K 0.43，置信区间95%，0.014-0.855）。好处可能包括降低医疗保健工作者的收集相关危险。我们建议将其作为基于拭子的SARS-CoV-2儿童检测的首选。
The first pediatric study demonstrating significantly higher positivity rate of nasal (mid-turbinate) swab testing over oropharyngeal swab testing in detecting SARS-CoV-2 (Fisher exact test 0.046, Cohen K 0.43, confidence interval 95%, 0.014-0.855). Benefits might include lower collection-related hazard for healthcare workers. We recommend it as preferred choice for swab-based SARS-CoV-2 testing in children.
