For the patient ratings of importance, means not sharing a common letter are significantly different (p < .05) in post hoc comparisons using the Šidák method for multiple comparisons. With multiple clinicians rating a variable number of patients, the standard errors for clinicians’ ratings are large, and most of the multiple comparisons are not statistically significant despite the mean differences
