Zusammenfassung:To define treatment benefit, the Patient Benefit Index contains a weighting of patient-relevant treatment goals using the Patient Needs Questionnaire, which includes a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (“not important at all”) to 4 (“very important”).

The importance of each dimension can be derived by averaging the importance ratings on the Likert scales of associated treatment goals.
