Concurrent surveys reveal discordance in diagnostic accuracy and treatment goals in polycythemia vera care, highlighting gaps in patient education.

Patients reported lower confidence in diagnostic timeliness compared to clinicians, with only 64% agreeing on quick diagnosis.
78% of clinicians prioritized improving quality of life; however, only 42% of patients included this in their top treatment goals.
Shared decision-making gaps revealed only 61% of patients felt their treatment goals were considered by providers.
Nearly half of patients lacked sufficient education on treatment options, reinforcing the need for enhanced clinician-patient communication.

Gerds et al. (2025) studied this question.
