Fertil Steril. 2023 Apr 28:S0015-0282(23)00316-3. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2023.04.031. Online ahead of print.

ABSTRACT

Uncertainty is a common element when designing a study and assumptions made around this uncertainty inform the statistical analysis to be performed. Sensitivity analyses provide confidence in the primary analytic results obtained from the study by probing at the assumptions and uncertainty. Researchers are strongly encouraged to consider sensitivity analyses during the design phase of the study and include them in the manuscript to increase confidence in the conclusions.
