Quantitative analysis of RT-PCR test results for SARS-CoV-2 diagnostics across Poland during COVID-19 pandemic: Comparison between early stage and major pandemic waves in 2020 and 2021 with reference to SARS-CoV-2 variants

From April to September 2020, Poland was minimally affected by COVID-19 compared to other EU countries. We aimed to investigate the risks of false reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results during the first wave (compared to later waves), that rises when cycle threshold (Ct) of...

description From April to September 2020, Poland was minimally affected by COVID-19 compared to other EU countries. We aimed to investigate the risks of false reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results during the first wave (compared to later waves), that rises when cycle threshold (Ct) of positive result is close to limit of detection (LOD). We analyzed Ct values of SARS-CoV-2 positive RT-PCR results of 7726 patients in Poland from April–September 2020. SARS-CoV-2 positive RT-PCR results of 14,534 patients in the 2nd-3rd wave and 10,861 patients in the 4th-5th pandemic waves were used. Statistical analysis was based on one-way analysis of variance. To verify, 95% confidence intervals with Bonferroni correction were computed. Incidence of SARS-CoV-2 variants in Poland was analyzed using Whole Genome Sequencing from 923 (3.6%) patients. The mean Ct of RT-PCR positive test results analyzed ranged between 22.89 and 26.71 depending on the month of the results collection. The differences between months were significant (p ​
