Exploration of preferences among people with COPD to inform resource allocation: a discrete choice experiment study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Treatment options for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are numerous but adherence remains a key challenge. We performed a discrete choice experiment (DCE) of patients' preferences in accessing care for the management of COPD. The aim of this study was to understand patients' preferences for modes of accessing care for the management of COPD. This piece of work was then used to inform resource allocation decisions in five integrated care systems (ICSs) in England.

Methods

People with diagnosed COPD in five ICSs were invited to complete an online survey from August to September 2022. An experimental design built on the principles of minimal overlap, level balance and orthogonality was used to create 20 sets of 11 scenarios for participants to assess. P
