Abstract:
The rapid COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test using Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2 and the conventional COVID-19 PCR test using Standard M nCoV Detection were compared after matching for sex, age, and hospitalization period. The rapid COVID-19 PCR test group exhibited shorter turnaround time and emergency department stay.
