Strengths and Limitations
The peak of the epidemic will eventually pass and preventing the
repeated outbreaks is our common goal. This is the first study which
focused on the optimized screening procedure to avoid hospital
infections after the peak of the COVID-19 outbreak in obstetrics and
gynecology outpatient. There are some limitations. First, the sample
size of outpatients was relatively small. Second, for positive IgM test,
quantitative tests should also be conducted to dynamically observe the
changes in its level. Third, for patients with IgM positive, we should
extend the follow-up time.
