The variables and assumptions for this analysis that differ from those of the<br />
basel<strong>in</strong>e analysis are shown <strong>in</strong> table 31.<br />
Information on the positivity rate, CRC detection rates and sensitivity of the<br />
different tests was derived from one study 593. Cost data were obta<strong>in</strong>ed from<br />
the Belgian reimbursement scheme and personal communication from the<br />
distributors of the tests <strong>in</strong> Belgium. No exact price <strong>in</strong>formation was available for<br />
Belgium for the cost of the HemeSelect at the time of this study. Its cost was<br />
therefore assumed to be about 6 times higher than for the gFOBT tests. To<br />
account for the uncerta<strong>in</strong>ty of this po<strong>in</strong>t estimate, the cost of 12 was<br />
multiplied by a factor drawn from a skewed beta-distribution <strong>with</strong> mean 1,<br />
m<strong>in</strong>imum 0,5 and maximum 2.<br />
