Thx, didn't see it. Glad you did a sero specific meta Doesn't look like you adj for: 1) Time for AB's to form (~2 wks) 2) Type of AB's in the test (IgM, IgG, IgA, etc.) 3) Decay rates for AB's -- we know they don't last that long + 4 wks of fatalities post meas is long
And, again, decay rate is usually part of sensitivity calculations. We're going around in circles here

That's not correct - decay rate was unknown when the sens & spec were provided They are relative to & dependent on the sampling timeframes against the curves Did you examine this? Many studies actually adjust for these. Yours is one of the few who didn't

I have no idea what you mean by "were provided", we cited a number of very recent studies on exactly this point. I also don't think you've actually understood the point about test sensitivity here
