Congruency between preferred and experienced roles in decision-making.

		Experienced role
		Patient alone	Patient with neurologist input	Shared decision	Neurologist with patient input	Neurologist alone	Total number of patients (%)
Preferred role	Patient alone	2	–	–	–	–	2 (2)
	Patient with neurologist input	7	12	6	–	2	27 (29)
	Shared decision	4	13	31	8	1	57 (62)
	Neurologist with patient input	–	–	2	3	–	5 (6)
	Neurologist alone	–	–	–	–	1	1 (1)
	Total number of patients (%)	13 (14)	25 (27)	39 (43)	11 (12)	4 (4)	92 (100)*

Preferred role is: the role a patient would have wanted in the decision-making process; perceived role is the role the patient has experienced in the decision-making process. Blue cells are the cells that represent matched roles.

^*13 patients did not fill in a perceived role and six patients had invalid data for one or both questions on the roles in decision-making.
