Abstract

Health outcomes may depend on which treatment is received, whether choice of treatment is given, and whether a received treatment is the preferred therapy. We examined the effects of these key factors on the EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D-3L) in patients with PTSD. Two hundred patients aged 18-65 years with PTSD diagnosis enrolled in a doubly randomized preference trial (DRPT) examining treatment, choice of treatment, and treatment-preference effects of prolonged exposure therapy (PE) and pharmacotherapy with sertraline (SER) (clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00127673). We performed difference-in-difference analysis to estimate the treatment effects of prolonged exposure therapy (PE) as compared to pharmacotherapy with sertraline (SER), receipt of choice versus no-choice of treatment, and receipt of preferred versus non-preferred treatment on health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) outcome using the EQ-5D-3L completed at baseline and 10-week post-treatment. The treatment effects of PE on the EQ-5D scores in overall patients and subgroup of patients who preferred PE were 0.150 (p = 0.025) and 0.223 (p < 0.001), respectively. The effects of treatment choice were 0.088 (p = 0.050) and 0.156 (p = 0.043) in overall patients and subgroup of patients received SER, respectively. The effects of treatment preference were 0.101 (p = 0.038) and 0.249 (p = 0.004) in overall patients and subgroup of patients SER, respectively. Overall, PE is associated with better improved HRQOL, especially in patients who prefer it. Independently, allowing patients to choose their preferred treatment resulted in better HRQOL than either assigning them a treatment or giving them a treatment that is not preferred.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 14. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 October 2019.
All research outputs
#2,290,120
of 22,988,380 outputs
Outputs from Quality of Life Research
#159
of 2,911 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#51,993
of 333,656 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Quality of Life Research
#7
of 69 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,988,380 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,911 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.6. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 94% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 333,656 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 69 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
