Sensitivity Analyses
2018
This video is intended to provide an introduction to the use of sensitivity analyses to test how uncertainty impacts model predicted results. Uncertainty from point estimates used for model inputs is discussed as is testing using deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses.
This video is part of the Conducting Cost-Effectiveness Analysis with VA Data (HCEA) free course offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Health Services Research and Development group focused on cost-effectiveness analysis and budget impact analyses. There were a total of 12 videos produced between January and April 2018.
Other videos in this series include:
- New Recommendations for the Conduct of Cost-Effectiveness Analysis from the Second Panel on Cost-Effectiveness Analysis in Health and Medicine
- An Overview of Decision Analysis
- Estimating the Cost of an Intervention
- VA Costs: HERC versus MCA
- Introduction to Effectiveness, Patient Preferences, and Utilities
- Estimating Transition Probabilities for a Model
- Medical Decision Making and Decision Analysis
- Evidence Synthesis to Derive Model Transition Probabilities (Part I - Systematic Literature Review)
- Evidence Synthesis to Derive Model Transition Probabilities (Part II – Quantitative Pooling)
- Budget Impact Analysis
- How Can Cost Effectiveness Analysis be Made More Relevant to U.S. Health Care?
