Older adults experience a higher prevalence of multiple chronic conditions (MCCs). Establishing the presence and pattern of MCCs in individuals or populations is important for healthcare delivery, res...
To examine the relationship between tooth loss and co-occurrence of multiple chronic conditions (MCC) among American adults at working age....
Data was from the Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System 2018, a cross-sectional telephone-based, nationally representative survey of American adults. We included participants aged 25-64 years. T...
The analysis included 202,809 participants. The mean number of MCC was 0.86 (95% Confidence Interval 'CI':0.85,0.87). Tooth loss was significantly associated with MCC with rate ratio 1.18 (95% CI:1.15...
Tooth loss could be an early marker for the co-occurrence of multiple chronic conditions among adults of working age. The association could be attributed to common risk factors for oral and general he...
The prevalence of multiple chronic conditions (MCC), defined as several coexisting chronic conditions, has increased with the aging of society. MCC is associated with poor outcomes, but most comorbid ...
We analyzed data from the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort for 2002-2013. We defined MCC with asthma as a group of one or more chronic diseases in addition to asthma. We analyz...
The prevalence of asthma was 13.01%, and the prevalence of MCC in asthmatic patients was 36.55%. The prevalence of MCC with asthma was higher in females than males and increased with age. The signific...
Comorbid chronic diseases in asthma patients differed according to age and sex. The asthma-related-medical burdens were highest in patients with five or more chronic conditions and groups 1 and 5....
Existing research on the detrimental effects of air pollution and its mixture on multiple chronic conditions (MCC) is not yet fully recognized. Our objective was to examine if individual and joint exp...
One of the biggest difficulties facing healthcare systems today is the prevalence of multiple chronic diseases (MCC). Mortality and the development of new chronic illnesses are more likely in those wi...
We propose a graph neural network model to analyze the relationship between five chronic conditions (diabetes, obesity, cognitive impairment, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension). The proposed model adds...
Evaluating the Laplacian regularized GNN on data from 600 patients, we expanded our analysis from two chronic conditions to five chronic conditions. The proposed model consistently surpassed a baselin...
The incorporation of Laplacian regularization in our GNN model is essential, resulting in enhanced node categorization and better predictive performance by harnessing the graph structure. This study u...
Existing self-care measures for the Chinese population are specific to single chronic conditions. No generic self-care measures exist for the Chinese population with multiple chronic conditions....
To test the structural validity, concurrent validity and reliability of the Self-care of Chronic Illness Inventory (SC-CII) in Chinese older adults with multiple chronic conditions....
This cross-sectional study was reported following the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guideline. A diverse sample of Chinese older adults with multiple chronic con...
Confirmatory factor analysis supported the two-factor structure of the self-care maintenance and self-care management subscales and the one-factor structure of the self-care monitoring subscale. Concu...
The SC-CII is valid and reliable for Chinese older adults with multiple chronic conditions. Future cross-cultural assessment should be conducted to investigate the measurement equivalence of the SC-CI...
With the increasing number of older adults in China who are living with multiple chronic conditions and the call for culturally tailored self-care interventions, this self-care measure can be used in ...
As persons, 60 years of age and older live longer, they are more likely to develop one or more chronic conditions. Rising numbers of older persons with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) will increase...
The aim of this integrative review was to explore the experiences of older persons with MCCs' unplanned readmission from home to hospital within 30 days of discharge using an integrative review....
Whittemore and Knafl's method was followed to address the research aim. Four databases (Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, CINAHL and Embase) were searched between 2005 and 2020, suitability for inclusion was asse...
Thirteen articles (10 qualitative, one quantitative, and two mixed methods) were included in this review. Three themes emerged from the data that reflected older persons with MCCs' unplanned readmissi...
Research about unplanned readmission to the hospital does not provide sufficient detail or understanding about older persons with MCCs' experiences or their psychosocial experiences. Addressing resear...
Epilepsy is a frequent neurologic condition with important financial strains on the US healthcare system. The co-occurrence of multiple chronic conditions (MCC) may have additional financial repercuss...
We identified a total of 1,942,413 adults (≥18 years) with epilepsy using the clinical classification code 83 from the MEPS-HC (Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component) database between 2...
Over half of the patients with epilepsy had at least two chronic conditions (CC). Yearly, for each patient with one and two chronic conditions, unadjusted total healthcare expenditures were two times ...
Chronic conditions are frequent among adult patients with epilepsy and are associated with a dose-response increase in healthcare expenditure, a difference driven by inpatient, outpatient, and medicat...
We characterized comorbidity profiles and cardiometabolic risk factors among older adults with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) in New York City using an intersectionality approach. Electronic healt...
Understanding the complex care needs of seriously ill adults with multiple chronic conditions with and without cancer is critical for the delivery of high-quality serious illness and palliative care a...
