One-way sensitivity analysis (minimum values in order to be the most cost-effective option to control joint pain)

Type of dominance
Extended* Absolute
Celecoxib
Control joint pain 44.0%
Control joint pain without adverse events 41.0%
Nonselective NSAIDs
Control joint pain 67.5% 82.5%
Control joint pain without adverse events 49.5% 63.0%
Acetaminophen
Control joint pain 48.0% 55.0%
Control joint pain without adverse events 94.0% it is not feasible

NSAIDs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Extended dominance is defined as the set of all possible mixed therapeutic strategies that dominates a unique strategy in both higher effectiveness and less cost [67].
