Shared decision making in the treatment of multiple sclerosis: A consensus based on Delphi methodology

Ricardo Alonso et al. Mult Scler Relat Disord. 2023 Feb.

Abstract

Shared decision making is a way of incorporating patients' preferences and values into the decisions regarding the treatment and follow-up plan for the condition that affects them. It is currently applied mainly in the context of chronic disorders for which there is no cure available but nevertheless many therapeutic alternatives, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Current views and opinions on shared decision making for the treatment of MS are discussed in this consensus based on a modified Delphi method that included a group of neurologists from Argentina. A set of statements was defined by the experts and seeks to serve as a guide to apply this concept in clinical practice.

Keywords: Adherence; Multiple sclerosis; Patient-centered care; Shared decision making; Treatment.
