在处理成本效益分析中的不确定性方面进行了大量的方法研究。目前的文献提出了净健康效益和成本效益可接受曲线的概念，以规避成本效益比统计的技术缺陷。然而，这些方法并没有解决阈值成本效益比本身是未知的固有问题。作者建议通过使用Birch和Gafni（1992）描述的决策规则直接处理机会成本的概念来分析成本效益分析中的不确定性，并引入一个新的图形框架（“决策平面”）用于与政策制定者进行沟通。版权所有（C）2002约翰威利父子有限公司
Considerable methodological research has been conducted on handling uncertainty in cost-effectiveness analysis. The current literature suggests the concepts of net health benefits and cost-effectiveness acceptability curves to circumvent the technical shortcomings of cost-effectiveness ratio statistics. However, these approaches do not provide a solution for the inherent problem that the threshold cost-effectiveness ratio itself is unknown. The authors suggest analysing uncertainty in cost-effectiveness analysis by directly addressing the concept of opportunity costs using the decision rule described by Birch and Gafni (1992) and introduce a new graphical framework (the 'decision making plane') for communicating with policy makers.
