Fig. 3

Result of AHP analysis on the POC CRP test as compared to central laboratory testing. This figure shows the result of the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) analysis on the POC CRP test as compared to using the central laboratory test, on the four main criteria and the overall result, as well as the performance of the two tests on each criterion. The grey bars represent the relative weights of the four main criteria. The figure represents the performance of the POC test (square) and lab-test (triangle) on each criterion. CRP = C-reactive protein, POC = point-of-care
