Tests of the cost-benefit model using the same currency are few [ 5] and these studies do not consider the heterogeneity of the plant.
Of the 11 studies, 5 did not report statistical testing of the cost difference [ 29, 30, 32, 33, 38] and 1 study [ 34] reported only partly which costs differed significantly.
This algorithm reduces the number of Xpert tests at the cost of losing non-symptomatic TB patients at the first screening step.
The economic evaluation is difficult and would have to balance the cost of free eye tests against the cost of missing potentially blinding disease and maintaining visually impaired patients in the community.
Because of this high volume of tests, the cost of implementation training and support for RDT rollout was relatively low when considered per test.
Earlier this fall, Swiss officials were talking about reducing the number of cows tested because of the cost.
The salmonella tests added to the cost of ground beef.
These values have been chosen to maximize the specificity of each test, though at the cost of sensitivity.
The generality of the KS-test comes at the cost of being less accurate than others if the specific data meets all the assumptions of the other test in hand.
The combination of an established model of diabetes progression and generally available data has provided an opportunity to establish robust methods of testing the cost effectiveness of a program for which a formal control group was not available.
However, testing the service composition for robustness is more difficult than testing regular applications because the number of test scenarios and the cost of testing greatly increase with the increasing number of component services.
