A probabilistic sensitivity analysis assigns distributions to medicine costs, treatment effects and hospitalisation probabilities and then runs the model repeatedly. What is the purpose of this uncertainty analysis?

A pharmacist wants to compare two treatments for an uncomplicated infection. Treatment success or failure occurs within seven days, and the infection is not expected to recur during the analysis. Which modelling approach is most appropriate?

A hospital is comparing a new cancer medicine with the current treatment. The new medicine costs R120,000 more but provides two additional quality-adjusted life years. What does the Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER) calculate?
