General Population vs. Patient Preferences in Anticoagulant Therapy: A Discrete Choice Experiment

摘要

Objectives Preference weights derived from general population samples are often used for therapeutic decision making. In contrast, patients with cardiovascular disease may have different preferences concerning the benefits and risks of anticoagulant therapy. Using a discrete choice experiment, we compared preferences for anticoagulant treatment outcomes between the general population and patients with cardiovascular disease.
