Identification of Critical Outcomes in Sarcopenia: a Discrete Choice Experiment

Patients will be recruited on each site according to inclusion criteria. Participants willing to participate will received an information sheet and a consent form. After given their consent to participate, they will receive a questionnaire composed of 13 choice questions. In this DCE, patients will be asked to choose which one of two hypothetical patients (Patient A and Patient B) suffering from sarcopenia with different levels of outcomes deserves the most the treatment. After completion of the choice tasks, respondents will be asked how difficult they found the choice tasks on a seven-point scale and to questions on their socio-economic and disease characteristics.
