specialties and also underdiagnosed, causing a bias in defining its etiology, interpretation,
prevention, treatment, and interventions.

define and evaluate its evolution, therapeutic response, predisposition, and prognosis in order to
guarantee the interrelation of the relevant specialties.

of successful non-remission of the syndrome and also the different diagnostic and therapeutic
strategies.
