Hence the objectives of minimising travel time and maximising continuity of care are often complementary: high levels of preference satisfaction, 84.6 % can be achieved with just an increase of 0.8 min per visit (PS = 10), compared to the minimum travelling time solution ignoring preferences (PS = 0), as illustrated in Fig. 6.
"And I'm talking about the highest level of preference," Leopold said.
Likewise, females showed a higher level of preference for CMU added with 4-ethyl phenol at 200 ppm (t9 = 2.537, P = 0.032) but did not show a significant preference between blank CMU and CMU added with 40, 100, 400, 800 ppm, or 1% of the compound.

In addition, most patients who started in stage 1 of the study chose to continue in subsequent stages, which may reflect the high level of patient preference for DR-HC vs thrice-daily hydrocortisone, as previously reported (18).
