Fig. 7. Influence Diagram. Cognitive therapies.
This article proposes three influence diagrams: one (fig.5) to help determine
whether complementary explorations must be done, another (fig.6) to help decide
the most appropriate pharmacological treatment, and finally (fig.7), a decision
diagram for cognitive treatment.
In the first Influence Diagram the following complementary explorations have
been taken into account: CBC, VSG, Biochemical, Electrolytes, Hepatic func-
tion, Thyroid Function (T3, T4 and TSH), Vitamin (B12 and folic acid),
Serology (Syphilis), Electrocardiogram, Neuroimage (CAT or Nuclear magnetic
resonance), Lumbar Puncture, Electroencephalogram, SPECT (simple photon
emission computed tomography) and/or PET (positron-emission tomography).
We have also constructed an Influence Diagram to analyse the maximum
usefulness expected from each of the possible pharmacological treatments.
