What Matters Most? An Exploration of Decision Criteria Considered by Patients with GEP-NET and Physicians Using Holistic Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis

#1628

Introduction: Patient-centered care means identifying what matters most through shared decision making. EVIDEM provides an MCDA platform to explore decision criteria and tradeoffs.

Aim(s): We developed a holistic decision support framework to identify preferences of patients and physicians in the management of unresectable, well- or moderately differentiated non-functioning GEP-NET.

Materials and methods: Design of the framework was led by EVIDEM structure, literature review and insights from a Chatham-house panel of physicians and patients. During a second panel, 5 patients and 6 physicians weighed criteria using Hierarchical Point Allocation and Direct Rating Scale (DRS, sensitivity analysis). Insights were collected in discussions and individually.
