* Dominated: PoCT was more costly and less effective than laboratory testing
** SW Quadrant: PoCT was less costly and less effective than laboratory testing
***Dominant: PoCT was less costly and more effective than laboratory testing
Note: this analysis was undertaken on all the other variables (consumables, tests, emergency department visits, specialist consultations and pharmaceuticals) but did not have an influence on the ICERs ie change the quadrant.
