Garcia-Donato G et al. - In a probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA) of a cost-effectiveness (CE) study, the unknown parameters are considered as random variables.

The authors find that the discrepancies can be quite marked, specially when the number of patients enrolled in the simulated cohort under study is large.
