Sensitivity analysis. Absolute difference in extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) mortality in adults per 100,000 by year 10 if POC sputum NAAT is compared to NAAT-EPTB varying one parameter at the time. Numbers in parentheses indicate parameter values at base case and the range from lower and upper end over which the respective parameter is varied (while other parameters are kept constant). The analysis shows that effect of POC sputum NAAT is primarily dependent on reducing transmission of adult pulmonary TB (PTB) and the sensitivity of the test for existing standard for PTB in conjunction with the rate at which the test is used.
