Preferences for oral nutritional supplement therapy among postoperative patients with gastric cancer: a discrete choice experiment.

ABSTRACT:

Purposes

Patients after gastrectomy have poor compliance with oral nutritional supplement (ONS) therapy. Incorporating patient preferences into treatment decisions allows possible product improvements or treatment focus adjustments. The purpose of this research was to investigate the preferences for ONS therapy among postoperative patients with gastric cancer, and to provide person-centered oral nutrition management strategies.

Methods

A discrete choice experiment was designed and implemented within a Chinese cancer population. The survey was administered via paper-based questionnaires during face-to-face interviews with assistance from health professionals. A mixed logit model was used to estimate respondents' preferences for different levels of nutrition therapy attributes
