ROC curve cutoff (ie,> 0.165) had no effect on the measured diagnostic specificity (Fig. 1).
The optimal ROC cutoff showed excellent clinical performance 14 days after RT-PCR
positivity or the onset of COVID-19 symptoms. Additional studies are needed to confirm the
best cutoff. Expert societies are urged to provide guidance on the best time after RTPCR
positivity or symptom onset to perform serological investigations, which are important
determinants of the true positivity rate.
