Tests ordered by cost. Diagnostic accuracy figures rounded to 3 decimal places. ICERs based upon exact values for incremental outcomes and costs.
aCGH: array comparative genomic hybridisation; CD: correct diagnosis; CE: cost‐effective; CISH: chromogenic in situ hybridisation; FISH: fluorescence in situ hybridisation; ICER: incremental cost‐effectiveness ratio; LOH: loss of heterozygosity; NGS: next‐generation sequencing; PCR: polymerase chain reaction; SNP: single nucleotide polymorphism; TN: true negative; TP: true positive; WTP: willingness to pay.
