Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Testing in Croatia: Risk Perception Plays an Important Role in the Epidemic Control

Aim: To explore the clinical presentation and epidemiological history of the subjects who underwent SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing. Methods: We included 1, 000 consecutive subjects who presented themselves at the diagnostic clinic in Croatia and analyzed their symptoms and epidemiological history. All subjects were classified into three groups, according to their reason of arrival ; symptomatic, contacts of confirmed patients, and those who were tested due to administrative reasons. Results: On average, there were 24% of positive antigen results ; the positivity rate was 51% among symptomatic, 16% in contacts, and 5% of administrative patients. The commonest symptoms of the disease included febrility and anosmia. We developed a clinical score to predict SARS-CoV-2 positivity, which had an area under the curve of 79.3 [95% confidence intervals (CI) 75.8-82.8]. Contact with the isolated person [odds ratio 0.54 (95% CI 0.31-0.94)] and international travel had a protective effect [0.20 (0.09-0.43)], suggesting that risk perception and mandatory pretravel measures had a key role in the determination of the infection risk. Conclusions: A combination of clinical symptoms can have reasonable predictive power for an antigen-positive test result. Risk perception seems to have a role in the epidemic spread, probably via stricter adherence to personal preventative measures.
