| مستخلص: | Background: Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS), a tool used for monitoring health indicators in low resource settings resulting in "high" or "low" classifications, assumes that determination of the trait of interest is perfect. This is often not true for diagnostic tests, with imperfect sensitivity and specificity. Here, we develop Lot Quality Assurance Sampling for Imperfect Tests (LQAS-IMP) to address this issue and apply it to a COVID-19 serosurveillance study design in Haiti. Methods: We first derive a modified procedure, LQAS-IMP, that accounts for the sensitivity and specificity of a diagnostic test to yield correct classification errors. We then apply the novel LQAS-IMP to design an LQAS system to classify prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among healthcare workers at eleven Zanmia Lasante health facilities in Haiti. Finally, we show the performance of the LQAS-IMP procedure in a simulation study. Results: We found that when an imperfect diagnostic test is used, the classification errors in the standard LQAS procedure are larger than specified. In the modified LQAS-IMP procedure, classification errors are consistent with the specified maximum classification error. We then utilized the LQAS-IMP procedure to define valid systems for sampling at eleven hospitals in Haiti. Conclusion: The LQAS-IMP procedure accounts for imperfect sensitivity and specificity in system design; if the accuracy of a test is known, the use of LQAS-IMP extends LQAS to applications for indicators that are based on laboratory tests, such as SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.
