Abstract

The aim of this guidance is to provide a systematic approach to identify patient preferences for treatment outcome (PPTO). These preferences can either be retrieved from the literature or elicited from patients. Information on PPTOs can be used in the evaluation of health technologies such as treatments or protocols, to determine research agendas or to evaluate the patient-perceived value of treatment outcomes used in trials for systematic reviews or Health Technology Assessment (HTA). This guidance describes the steps needed to retrieve PPTOs, provides an overview of the most commonly used methods to elicit them, and describes the appraisal of studies where such methods are used
