225名主要的内科医生在回复一份邮件调查时，就30项医疗创新对患者的相对重要性发表了自己的看法。他们还提供了关于他们自己和他们的做法的信息。他们的回答为每项创新提供了一个平均得分和一个变异性得分。程序创新的平均得分显著高于药物创新，治疗心血管疾病的创新显著高于治疗其他疾病的创新。在受访者的亚组中，排名相似，但对一些创新的评价与医生的年龄显著相关。反应的最大变异性通常与医生的患者组合有关。
In response to a mail survey, 225 leading general internists provided their opinions of the relative importance to patients of thirty medical innovations. They also provided information about themselves and their practices. Their responses yielded a mean score and a variability score for each innovation. Mean scores were significantly higher for innovations in procedures than in medications and for innovations to treat cardiovascular disease than for those to treat other diseases. The rankings were similar across subgroups of respondents, but the evaluations of a few innovations were significantly related to physicians' age. The greatest variability in response was usually related to the physician's patient mix.
