Existe incertidumbre sobre las intervenciones basadas en signos y síntomas para el diagnóstico de Covid-19.
Evidencias COVID-19 (Evidence aid)
When patients with suspected COVID-19 present to primary care or hospital outpatient settings, signs and symptoms might be used to determine if they have the disease. This updated Cochrane quick review shows that based on the available data, neither absence nor presence of any specific sign or symptom is accurate enough to rule in or rule out COVID-19 disease. However, loss of the sense of smell (anosmia) or taste (ageusia) may be useful as a red flag for COVID‐19; and the presence of fever or cough, given their high sensitivities, may also be useful to identify people for further testing.
