Evaluation and Prioritization of Training Programs for the Management of Marfan Syndrome

Abstract

Introduction: Marfan Syndrome has been a connective tissue disease affecting multiple systems of the body, requiring an interdisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approach. The variability in presentation and potential complications underscored the need for precise and specialized medical training. Therefore, the general objective of this research is to evaluate specific training programs to improve the diagnosis and management of Marfan Syndrome by identifying critical gaps in current medical practice.
Method: Multicriteria decision-making methodologies were used, including the AHP Saaty method to quantify the incidence of diagnostic gaps and the MOORA method to prioritize medical training programs based on the improvement of the diagnosis and treatment of Marfan Syndrome.
Results: The analysis revealed that insufficient knowledge and incomplete clinical evaluations are the main gaps. Priority training programs included the advanced course in clinical genetics and the training program in echocardiography, noted for their direct capacity to improve clinical outcomes.
Conclusions: Medical education in genetics and echocardiography must be prioritized to effectively address Marfan Syndrome. The implementation of these programs constitutes the support to close the identified gaps. Thus, they significantly improve early diagnosis and management of complications, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration in patient care.
