We included studies with audio(-visual) recordings of clinical encounters in which decisions about starting or reconsidering treatment were discussed.Main MeasuresIn the original studies, the Observing Patient Involvement in Decision Making 12-items (OPTION<jats:sup>12 item</jats:sup>) scale was used to code the extent to which clinicians involved patients in SDM in clinical encounters. We conducted multivariable analyses with patient characteristics (age, gender, race, education, marital status, number of daily medications, general health status, health literacy) as independent variables and OPTION<jats:sup>12</jats:sup> as a dependent variable.ResultsWe included data from 1,614 patients.
