About utility scores
Scores are sums of part-worth utilities estimated via Hierarchical Bayes conjoint analysis (Sawtooth CBC/HB). Higher scores indicate more preferred treatment profiles. Attribute weights and levels are read from Figure 2 of Gasperini et al. (2025).

Limitations: Values are digitised from published figures and carry measurement uncertainty. For research use only — not a clinical decision tool. Sample: 1,069 Italian MS patients (DCE 1) and 186 HCPs.
