- *Combination of the two assays had no concordant false positive results.
- **One sample was repeatedly concordantly false positive in the two assays.
- ***The first test had initial suboptimal sensitivity (< 100%).
- ****Cost of Stat-Pak Dipstick is indicated as a range 0.8–0.95 US$. The best case scenario of the lowest possible cost for this test was assumed in computing the cost for algorithms involving use of Stat-Pak Dipstick.
