Monte Carlo simulations for the probabilistic sensitive analysis of cost-effectiveness results. (A) KPS. ICER for the postoperative KPS is horizontally dispersed on the plane, meaning that the results of the cost-effectiveness analysis are notably influenced by the values of this variable. (B) R-KPS. In the other hand, ICERs for R-KPS are largely located (35%) in the area where the iMR is a dominant technology, i.e., a less costly and more effective technology than the conventional OR.
