Developing an Atrial Fibrillation Guideline Support Tool (AFGuST) for shared decision making

An Anthropocentric Tool for Decision Making Support

After describing the underlying cognitive principles, we wil l introduce the decision representation space and its related notations. We wil l then show the difficulties linked to the search of an optimal representation of the expert strategies set and how the heuristics used by the algorithm studied avoid these NP-complete problems. Finally, the current results and our work perspectives are st...

Shared decision making for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

BACKGROUND Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common ongoing health problem that places patients at risk of stroke. Whether and how a patient addresses this risk depends on each patient's goals, context, and values. Consequently, leading cardiovascular societies recommend using shared decision making (SDM) to individualize antithrombotic treatment in patients with AF. The aim of this stu...

DEVELOPING RESEARCH AND PRACTICE A patient decision aid to support shared decision-making on anti-thrombotic treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation: randomised controlled trial

Objective: To determine the efficacy of a computerised decision aid in patients with atrial fibrillation making decisions on whether to take warfarin or aspirin therapy. Design: Two-armed open exploratory randomised controlled trial. Setting: Two research clinics deriving participants from general practices in Northeast England. Participants: 109 patients with atrial fibrillation aged over 60. ...
