The overarching objective of this study was to provide the descriptive epidemiology severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic in Qatar by addressing specific research questions through a series national epidemiologic studies. Sources data were centralized and standardized databases for SARS-CoV-2 infection. By July 10, 2020, 397,577 individuals had been tested using polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR), whom 110,986 positive, positivity cumulative rate 27.9% (95% CI...

We aimed to characterize the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic in Qatar. Methods A series epidemiologic studies were conducted including analysis national SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing hospitalization database, community surveys assessing current infection, ad-hoc campaigns workplaces residential areas, serological for antibody on blood...
Introduction. The cycle threshold (Ct) value in real-time PCR (RT-PCR) is where a target-specific amplification signal becomes detectable and can infer viral load, risk of transmission recovery. Use Ct values routine practice uncommon.Gap Statement. There lack use when reporting RT-PCR results practice.Aim. To automatically insert interpretive comments SARS-CoV-2 to improve patient management.Methodology. Routine across three different platforms were reviewed for concordance at presentation...
