Shared decision-making and detection of comorbidities in an online acromegaly consultation with and without the Acromegaly Disease Activity Tool ACRODAT® using the simulated person approach
Authors' conclusion
Shared decision-making was underrepresented in this SP-physician interaction in acromegaly management. Physicians adapted the content of the discussion to the SP's needs, but did not adequately address comorbidities. According to the analysis criteria used, ACRODAT® did not contribute to a more holistic patient management in the present study.
