Patient-centred Preferences for Biologic Therapies in Moderate to Severe Psoriasis in Vietnam: A Discrete Choice Experiment.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that significantly impairs patients' quality of life. With the growing availability of biologic drugs - each varying in efficacy, safety, dosing, and cost - treatment decisions have become increasingly complex. A study conducted from March to July 2024 surveyed 302 Vietnamese patients with moderate to severe psoriasis to assess preferences for biologic therapies. Using a discrete choice experiment (DCE), participants evaluated 6 treatment attributes: short-term efficacy, long-term efficacy, sustained efficacy after drug withdrawal, frequency of administration, copayment, and risk of serious infection. Preference data were analysed using conditional logit models. Analysis revealed that treatment cost (relative importance [RI]: 31.4%) and long-term efficacy (RI: 25.3%) were the most critical factors influencing patient decisions, while sustained efficacy after withdrawal and early onset of efficacy were less impactful. Long-term efficacy and cost consistently ranked highest across all patient subgroups, with variations depending on demographic and clinical characteristics. These findings provide practical guidance for clinicians to incorporate patient preferences into the selection of biologic therapies, with particular emphasis on treatment cost and long-term efficacy. The significant influence of treatment cost also highlights the need for healthcare policymakers in Vietnam to enhance reimbursement policies and financial support programmes, improving access and equity in psoriasis care.
