Of the 298 pooled specimens, 4 (1.34%) were found to be inconclusive or invalid, and the other 294 (98.7%) had sufficient number of human cells to be certified as SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) positive or COVID-19 not detected.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Pooled testing collection is a complex process that may continue to be a requirement for mass screening of COVID-19 prior to military operations. While planning should be tailored to the specific mission and unit, key factors that the authors feel are required for pooled testing to be successful in any situation are standardized training and personnel continuity, quality assurance, administrative oversight by the unit, and collaboration and communication between all involved entities.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/usab513","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,13]],"date-time":"2021-12-13T05:58:45Z","timestamp":1639375125000},"page":"e957-e962","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Creation and Operation of a COVID-19 Pooled Testing Collection Site Prior to a CTC Rotation"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"188","author":[{"given":"Savannah","family":"Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division , Fort Riley, KS 66442, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jessica","family":"Heffner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Irwin Army Community Hospital , Fort Riley, KS 66442, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rachael","family":"King","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Irwin Army Community Hospital , Fort Riley, KS 66442, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haley","family":"Guzman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division , Fort Riley, KS 66442, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023051613493839100_R1","article-title":"Headquarters of the U.S. Army: FRAGO 11 to HQDA EXORD 210-20 coronavirus (COVID-19) transition framework","year":"2020"},{"issue":"3","key":"2023051613493839100_R2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e42","DOI":"10.1017\/dmp.2020.246","article-title":"Pooled testing for expanding COVID-19 mass surveillance","volume":"14","author":"Sunjaya","year":"2020","journal-title":"Disaster Med Public Health Prep"},{"issue":"6","key":"2023051613493839100_R3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"715","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcp\/aqaa064","article-title":"Assessment of specimen pooling to conserve SARS CoV-2 testing resources","volume":"153","author":"Abdalhamid","year":"2020","journal-title":"Am J Clin Pathol"},{"issue":"3","key":"2023051613493839100_R4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1526","DOI":"10.1002\/jmv.26475","article-title":"Evaluation of sample pooling for diagnosis of COVID-19 by real time-PCR: a resource-saving combat strategy","volume":"93","author":"Garg","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Med Virol"},{"issue":"6","key":"2023051613493839100_R5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2020.13075","article-title":"Simulation of pool testing to identify patients with coronavirus disease 2019 under conditions of limited test availability","volume":"3","author":"Cherif","year":"2020","journal-title":"JAMA Netw Open"},{"key":"2023051613493839100_R6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"324","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijid.2020.08.063","article-title":"A simple approach to optimum pool size for pooled SARS-CoV-2 testing","volume":"100","author":"Regen","year":"2020","journal-title":"Int J Infect Dis"},{"issue":"671","key":"2023051613493839100_R7","first-page":"1","article-title":"Rational use of SARS-CoV-2 polymerase chain reaction tests within institutions caring for the vulnerable","volume":"9","author":"Yates","year":"2020","journal-title":"F1000Res"},{"key":"2023051613493839100_R8","article-title":"Headquarters of the U.S. Army: Annex NN COVID-19 lab guide for APHC-LS.
