Abstract

As a result of the fact that prescription of medications for children and adolescents with early stages of chronic heart failure is not provided by the treatment protocols, and the doctor has to act intuitively, the development of methods for decision-making support gains a special relevance. In this paper, the authors proposed method of optimal selection of medications at subclinical variants of chronic heart failure of adolescents, taking into account the features of multifunctional characteristics of heart on the basis of analytical networks.

The main stages of the method and the results of its introduction in the SI “Institute for Children and Adolescents Health Care of the NAMS of Ukraine” are described in the paper. Application of this method will allow reasonable choice of the best among the set of alternative variants, taking into account the indicators of the patient’s condition, dependences between these indicators and medications, feedbacks between them in the network structure, and also will promote the prescription of effective therapeutic measures and prevention of progression of early stages of chronic heart failure of adolescents. The proposed method can be easily realized in the outpatient or inpatient conditions, and its use allows to achieve considerable technical result
