Actual (reported)Change of seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among nursing home residents and staff in Belgium
Change of seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among Belgian nursing home residents and staff detected in their capillary blood by a point of care test during a period of 10 months.
"Month 0", "Month 2", "Month 4", "Month 6", "Month 8", "Month 10", "Month 13", "Month 16", "Month 19", "Month 22"
Change in SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion among nursing home residents and staff in Belgium
Change in SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion among Belgian nursing home residents and staff conducted by detecting specific SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM in their capillary blood by a point of care test at each of the study follow-up testing points.
"Month 0", "Month 2", "Month 4", "Month 6", "Month 8", "Month 10", "Month 13", "Month 16", "Month 19", "Month 22"
Assess the risk of getting symptomatically SARS-CoV-2 infected between the seropositive and seronegative group at baseline
10 months
Assess the proportion of deaths within 10 months between sero-positive and -negative participants at baseline visit for NH residents.
10 months
Assess the seroconversion time in the group of sero-negative participants at baseline visit in relation to observed risk factors such as care dependency scale (for NH residents),type of job assignment and flu vaccination (for staff)
10 months
Assess the duration of SARS-CoV-2 antigen specific seropositivity among NH residents and staff in Belgium.
10 months
Assess the time until death within 10 months between sero-positive and -negative participants at baseline visit for NH residents
10 months
Follow-up of seroprevalence
Bimonthly finger pricks with collection of 1-10 drops of capillary blood for detection of anti-SARS-CoV-2 immune markers
