Sensitivity analysis is the process by which the robustness of a cost-utility analysis (CUA) is assessed by examining the changes in the results of the analysis when key variables are varied.

Sensitivity analysis should include univariate (simple) analysis and multivariate analysis. When undertaking detailed analysis, probabilistic sensitivity analysis may be necessary. Any uncertainty in the analysis should be fully tested and described in the report.

Steps for conducting any pharmacoeconomic analysis are as follows:
(1) defining the problem,
(2) determining the study's perspective,
(3) determining the alternatives and outcomes,
(4) selecting the appropriate pharmacoeconomic method,
(5) placing monetary values on the outcomes,
(6) identifying study resources,
(7) establishing the probabilities of the outcomes,
(8) applying decision analysis,
(9) discounting costs or performing a sensitivity or incremental cost analysis, and
(10) presenting the results, along with any limitations of the study. By adhering to the analytic steps described, the pharmacist undertaking a pharmacoeconomic evaluation has the greatest likelihood of obtaining valid and useful results.

Can we use the same procedure for sensitivity analysis also?

What is probabilistic sensitivity analysis? How you do? When you do that?
