Aim: Comorbidity is increasingly prevalent. Moreover, many different definitions and interpretations of this phenomenon are used. Because its social clinical significance, it important that the concept clear. In review a summary current uses relevant figures given, as well proposal for future use.Method: A computerised search an additional literature were performed to identify papers on comorbidity related subjects. Available subject (nequals;38) was reviewed definition, operationalisation,...
Published prevalence studies on multimorbidity present diverse data collection methods, sources of data, targeted age groups, diagnoses considered and study populations, making the comparability estimates questionable. The objective this was to compare derived from two examine impact number in measurement multimorbidity. Prevalence estimated adults over 25 years separate Canadian studies: a 2005 survey 26,000 respondents randomly selected general population 2003 980 patients 21 family...
Multimorbidity is a health issue mostly dealt with in primary care practice. As result of their generalist and patient-centered approach, long-lasting relationships patients, responsibility for continuity coordination care, family physicians are particularly well placed to manage patients multimorbidity. However, conflicts arising from the application multiple disease oriented guidelines burden diseases treatments often make consultations challenging. To provide orientation decision making...
Abstract Although case histories of depression preceding Parkinson's disease (PD) point to a possible pathophysiological relationship between these two disorders, there is as yet no epidemiological evidence support this view. We compared the incidence in patients later diagnosed with PD that matched control population. Using data from an ongoing general practice‐based register study, lifetime depressive disorder was calculated for until their diagnosis and population same register. At time...
<b><i><i>Background:</i></i></b> Depression has been linked to the occurrence of a number somatic diseases.

A prospective cohort done four data collections, each an interval one year. Data were collected by means questionnaires which completed person's physician.

Methods Lifestyle Health calculated at baseline 949 participants aged 50–81 years from the Maastricht Ageing Study. predictive value LIBRA incident impairment...
Comorbidity is a cause of increased mortality, decreased quality life and use healthcare services. It important particularly for physicians other providers in primary care settings to evaluate these patients properly. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most common death from non-communicable worldwide characterized by high level comorbidities.To address distribution CVDs comorbidities across sociodemographic groups associations between comorbidities.A cross-sectional study was conducted...
Multimorbidity, the coexistence of two or more chronic conditions is increasingly prevalent in primary care populations. Despite reports on its adverse impact health outcomes, functioning and well-being, it's association with quality life not well known low middle income countries. We assessed health-related (HRQoL) patients multimorbidity identified influencing factors. This cross-sectional study was done across 20 public private facilities Odisha, India. Data were collected from 1649 adult...
The authors tested the hypothesis that depression is a possible factor influencing course of cancer by reviewing prospective epidemiological studies and calculating summary relative risks. Studies were identified computerized searches Medline, Embase PsycINFO. as well manual reference lists selected publications. Inclusion criteria cohort design, population-based sample, structured measurement outcome known for depressed non-depressed subjects Thirteen eligible identified. Based on eight...
We introduce a primary care practice model for caring patients with multimorbidity. Primary these requires flexibility and ongoing coordination, it often must be tailored to individual circumstances. Such complex flexible could accomplished within communities of practice, whose participants are willing learn from their shared further each other’s goals, share stories success failure, promote the continued evolution collective learning. in would conceived as adaptive process which use an...
