Public Preferences and Willingness to Pay for a Multidisciplinary Colorectal and Pelvic Reconstruction Service.
Article in The patient, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundChildren with congenital colorectal conditions require care from multiple health professionals. However, evidence on the value of a multidisciplinary care model is lacking. This study aimed to elicit public preferences and willingness to pay for a multidisciplinary care model for children with congenital colorectal conditions.
methodsWe developed a discrete choice experiment (DCE) that was administered to 807 members of the Australian public online. A Bayesian D-efficient design consisting of 20 choice tasks was split into 2 blocks of 10 choice tasks per respondent. Five attributes elicited through mixed methods included make-up of the multidisciplinary team; responsibility for care coordination; duration of access; provision of educational information; and cost. Choice data were analysed with a panel error component mixed logit model. Willingness to pay for each DCE attribute and level was estimated using the unconditional population moments estimates.
resultsThe Australian public demonstrated preference for a multidisciplinary care model. They showed preference for long-term access, having a care coordinator and provision of additional information. The public was willing to pay Australian dollars (AU) $64,275 for a multidisciplinary care model comprising an essential multidisciplinary team (including a surgeon, clinical nurse consultants, a psychologist, a social worker, stomal therapists, a child life therapist and a dietitian) with care coordination and information booklets and ongoing care until the child reached adulthood. We observed preference heterogeneity associated with gender, parenthood status and household income.
conclusionsThe Australian public valued the multidisciplinary care model for children with complex colorectal conditions. Our findings can be used to inform the design of a multidisciplinary care model and to inform cost-benefit analyses as part of broader healthcare system implementation.
