A priori documentation and subsequent availability of ADs at the point of care increases the probability that diagnostic, therapeutic and palliative interventions will be administered to patients within the framework of these preferences.
However, determining the effectiveness of a treatment within a cost-utility (cost per quality-adjusted life year or QALY) framework requires the collection of preference- (or utility-) based HRQL data.
From a slightly different point of view, Ruszczynski (2010) studies Markov risk measures, that enjoy strong time consistency, in the framework of risk-averse preferences; see also (Shapiro 2009, 2011, 2012; Fan and Ruszczyński 2014).

This paper studies English reverse auctions within a unified framework for preference-based English reverse auctions.
Starting with a familiar bilateral monopoly framework, we characterize the endogenous emergence of preference distortions during bargaining which cause negotiators to perceive their private valuations differently than they would outside the adversarial negotiation context.
In the framework of set-based evolution integrating preferences, we have proposed another set-based EA that integrates preferences, PSEA-m, by developing an adaptive Gaussian mutation operator guided by preferred regions in this paper, which effectively and fully uses the evolutionary information of a population.
Interestingly, the structures that represent common notions of reason often involve preferences themselves, so that a two-level framework emerges: preferences of the reason-giving type give rise to preferences that are the basis of choice.
