  1. *Levels of all attributes were coded as follows: 1-best possible level, 2-intermediate level and 3-worst possible level. All health states were rated with a visual analogue scale (0–100). A, B, C, D, E: corner states. M1, M2, M3: intermediate/marker states. P: Best health state possible. W: Worst health state possible.
  2. Health states also evaluated with a time trade-off technique.
