IntroductionBest–worst scaling (BWS) is becoming increasingly popular to elicit preferences in health care. However, little is known about current practice and trends in the use of BWS in health care. This study aimed to identify, review and critically appraise BWS in health care, and to identify trends over time in key aspects of BWS.MethodsA systematic review was conducted, using Medline (via Pubmed) and EMBASE to identify all English-language BWS studies published up until April 2016. Using a predefined extraction form, two reviewers independently selected articles and critically appraised the study quality, using the Purpose, Respondents, Explanation, Findings, Significance (PREFS) checklist. Trends over time periods (≤2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015) were assessed further.ResultsA total of 62 BWS studies were identified, of which 26 were BWS object case studies, 29 were BWS profile case studies and seven were BWS multi-profile case studies. About two thirds of the studies were performed in the last 2 years. Decreasing sample sizes and decreasing numbers of factors in BWS object case studies, as well as use of less complicated analytical methods, were observed in recent studies. The quality of the BWS studies was generally acceptable according to the PREFS checklist, except that most studies did not indicate whether the responders were similar to the non-responders.ConclusionUse of BWS object case and BWS profile case has drastically increased in health care, especially in the last 2 years. In contrast with previous discrete-choice experiment reviews, there is increasing use of less sophisticated analytical methods.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s40273-016-0429-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…The total number of BW pairs in the orthogonal design was 108 (12 Â 9). This subgroup of selected scenarios preserved the properties of orthogonality (i.e., each attribute-level appears an equal number of times in combination with all other attribute-levels) and balance (i.e., each level within an attribute appears an equal number of times) [12,13].…”

“…The present study demonstrated that not only do parents and adolescents place different weight on individual asthma control parameters, their preferences differ from each other, with parents’ greatest concern being frequent emergency room visits, and adolescents, frequent physical activity limitations. A study in different samples of parents and adolescents with asthma using a choice experiment with an alternative design aimed to determine whether preferences varied within groups [ 21 ]. That study detected two clear classes of respondents within each respondent group demonstrating that parents and adolescents with asthma are not homogeneous with regard to their preferences [ 21 ].…”

BackgroundThe preferences of parents and children with asthma influence their ability to manage a child’s asthma and achieve good control. Potential differences between parents and adolescents with respect to specific parameters of asthma control are not considered in clinical asthma guidelines. The objective was to measure and compare the preferences of parents and adolescents with asthma with regard to asthma control parameters using best worst scaling (BWS).MethodsFifty-two parents of children with asthma and 44 adolescents with asthma participated in a BWS study to quantify preferences regarding night-time symptoms, wheezing/chest tightening, changes in asthma medications, emergency visits and physical activity limitations. Conditional logit regression was used to determine each group’s utility for each level of each asthma control parameter.ResultsParents displayed the strongest positive preference for the absence of night-time symptoms (β = 2.09, p < 0.00001) and the strongest negative preference for 10 emergency room visits per year (β = −2.15, p < 0.00001). Adolescents displayed the strongest positive preference for the absence of physical activity limitations (β = 2.17, p < 0.00001) and the strongest negative preference for ten physical activity limitations per month (β = −1.97). Both groups were least concerned with changes to medications.ConclusionParents and adolescents placed different weights on the importance of asthma control parameters and each group displayed unique preferences. Understanding the relative importance placed on each parameter by parents and adolescents is essential for designing effective patient-focused disease management plans.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12890-015-0141-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
