    Alanna Ebigbo et al. Cost-effectiveness analysis of SARS-CoV-2 infection prevention strategies including pre-endoscopic virus testing and use of high risk personal protective equipment.

    A rational approach to the various strategies for SARS-CoV-2 infection prevention was investigated in this cost-effectiveness analysis study. It was concluded that routine preendoscopy virus testing and concurrent use of high risk PPE only becomes cost-effective when the prevalence rate in asymptomatic individuals rises to 1 % or more.
