One-way deterministic sensitivity analysis for multiple factors suggested the highest cost variability and ICER variability were due to surgery cost, medication failure rate, and medication cost.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000Economic benefit is established for a “MVD first” strategy in the Ontario context with strict superiority beyond the 10-year horizon.
