Mode of treatment administration ranking and point allocation^a. (A) First-choice^b mode of treatment administration (ranking) and (B) mode of treatment administration 100-point allocation means (N = 85). ^aPatients were asked ‘assuming equal effectiveness, safety, and cost, if you had 100 points to assign across these four modes of administration to reflect your preferences, how would you allocate these points? The more points you give to a mode means the more you prefer that mode of administration. You can assign as many or as few points, even zero points, as you want to each of the four modes, so long as the points across all four modes sum to 100.’ ^bA patient’s first-choice mode was the mode with the most points allocated; a “strong” first-choice preference was defined as a mode with point allocation ≥60.
