The Composite Hierarchical Outcomes In Respiratory Infections (CHOIR) Study: An International Conjoint Analysis Survey Study of Clinician Priorities in Pneumonia

Scientific Abstract

Authors used an international survey to examined which outcomes clinicians consider most important when evaluating patients with pneumonia. Clinicians placed substantial importance on outcomes such as discharge disposition and antibiotic-related adverse events, suggesting that commonly used hierarchical composite endpoints in pneumonia trials may not fully reflect frontline clinical priorities.
