Measuring patient and surgeon preference is key for surgical trial feasibility. New methods, like the Prospective Measure of Preference, help assess if trials can recruit enough participants and if results are generalizable.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Research Methodology
  • Clinical Trial Design
  • Health Preference Measurement

Background:

  • Strong patient and surgeon preferences for specific treatments hinder surgical randomized trials.
  • Reluctance to participate due to randomization affects trial sample size and generalizability.
  • Accurate measurement of preferences is vital for assessing surgical trial feasibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel method for measuring patient and surgeon preferences in surgical decision-making.
  • To present a method for assessing clinical equipoise among experts for future surgical trials.
  • To improve the feasibility and generalizability of surgical randomized controlled trials.

Main Methods:

  • Development and introduction of the Prospective Measure of Preference (PMP) for assessing treatment preferences.

  • Utilizing a simple method to gauge individual and community equipoise among clinicians.
  • Focus on accommodating the complexities inherent in surgical decision-making processes.

    • Main Results:

    • The Prospective Measure of Preference offers a new approach to quantifying preferences in surgical contexts.
    • The proposed methods facilitate the assessment of feasibility for conducting future randomized trials in surgery.
    • These tools aid in understanding the potential barriers related to participant and clinician preferences.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective measurement of patient and surgeon preferences is essential for successful surgical trials.
    • The Prospective Measure of Preference and equipoise assessment methods can enhance trial planning.
    • Addressing preference and equipoise is crucial for advancing evidence-based surgical practice through robust trials.
