A desirability of outcome ranking for adults with non-severe community-acquired pneumonia: a comparison of physician and patient preferences.

ABSTRACT: We surveyed physicians and patients to create a novel Desirability of outcome ranking (DOOR) for non-severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Patients generally ranked uncomfortable but non-life-threatening symptoms as less desirable, while physicians focused on traditional medical outcomes. When developing DOORs, both patient and clinician perspectives should be considered.
