| Abstract | BACKGROUND: The patient's perspective with regard to decision criteria of alternative treatment options has hardly been analysed. The objective of any intervention in health-care is to increase the patient's benefit. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to analyse the patient-relevant decision criteria in the medicinal therapy of type II diabetes. The characteristics of a drug therapy that are relevant for the choice of the patients should be revealed. METHOD: An explorative qualitative study (N=15) in combination with a quantitative survey (in total N=388) using Analytic Hierarchy Process and Best-Worst Scaling aimed at the determination of the importance of patient-relevant decision criteria. RESULTS: The quantitative AHP- and BWS survey resulted in a clear dominance of the attribute 'HbA1c level' and its optimal settings, for both with oral anti-diabetics treated patients (OAD) and insulin-treated patients. In the group of the OAD patients both methods independently showed the same ranking of the following 3 ranks: 'delay of insulin therapy' (rank 2), 'occurrence of hypoglycaemia' (rank 3) and 'weight changes' (rank 4). For insulin patients 'the occurrence of hypoglycaemia' follows in the AHP on the second rank and in the BWS on the 3(rd) rank. Compared to OAD patients, the relevance of the target criterion 'weight changes' decreases in the group of the insulin patients in the AHP on the last rank (rank 7) and in the BWS on the second last rank (rank 6). CONCLUSION: For the first time the methods of AHP and BWS were combined to assess how patients weight between different characteristics of the treatment in type II diabetes and which influence those criteria of therapy have on the patient's benefit. Both patient groups show differences in the horizon of experience and thus in the ranking of the decision criteria. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
