Multimorbidity in primary care: prevalence and trend over the last 20 years
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of multimorbidity in primary care, by age, sex, and socio-economic class, and to analyse the trend in multimorbidity over the last 20 years. METHODS: We performed an observational study using data from the Continuous Morbidity Registration (CMR) Nijmegen. This registration includes approximately 13 500 enlisted patients. To study the distribution of multimorbidity by age, sex, and socio-economic class, we analysed all patients enlisted in the CMR in 2005. To analyse the trend of multimorbidity over time, we studied the prevalence of multimorbidity from 1985 to 2005. RESULTS: We found that increasing age, female sex, and low socio-economic class are associated with an increasing number of patients with multimorbidity. The prevalence of chronic diseases doubled between 1985 and 2005. The proportion of patients with four or more chronic diseases increased in this period by approximately 300%. CONCLUSION: The increasing amount of multimorbidity in primary care as well as the increasing number of chronic diseases per patient leads to more complex medical care. The general practitioner needs guidelines focusing on multimorbidity to support this care. The registration of chronic diseases by the general practitioner will become more complex and time-consuming.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
