Good Studies Evaluate the Disease While Great Studies Evaluate the Patient: Development and Application of a Desirability of Outcome Ranking Endpoint for Staphylococcus aureus Bloodstream Infection.
Background:Desirability of outcome ranking (DOOR) is an innovative approach in clinical trials to evaluate the global benefits and risks of an intervention.

In much of the research contributing to meta-analyses of mode effects on social desirability, the outcome of the assessment was not personally important for study subjects (for example, participants being undergraduate students) [ 39].
Anchored within a broader theoretical framework around shared and plural values, the DVF model identifies a range of potential positive (e.g. learning) and negative (e.g. social desirability bias) outcomes of deliberation and key factors that influence outcomes (e.g. ability to deliberate, institutional factors, power dynamics).
These relationships between belief-strengths and the desirability of outcomes (e.g., gaining money or goods on bets) are at the core of subjectivist Bayesian decision theory.
Using the same utility-based analysis used so far (for determining what we should do now based on the likely consequences to humanity) to instead model the behavior of an SI itself, we see that an "evil" SI would approximate a purely self-interested, utility-maximizing ideal that would assign highest utility or desirability to outcomes that benefitted it and not other beings.
The utility (i.e. preference for or desirability) of outcomes, such as different health states, is usually expressed as a number ranging from zero to one, with death having a value of zero and a fully healthy life having a value of one [20], [21].
The present study also controlled for the efficacy of the devaluation manipulation at reducing the desirability of outcomes using consumption and general task comprehension, factors that might contribute to either or both tasks and confound their relationship.
Building on the four ecological change storylines (Table 2), our scenarios posit a range of social outcomes from limited and effective management and social adaptation in the GBR (Table 4).> This section highlights areas of convergence and divergence between the scenarios and stakeholder representatives' views of climate change impacts, social adaptation options and desirability of outcomes.
