A key component was the integration of patient-reported outcomes to enhance patient-centred care, highlighting quality of life 😊
Coordinated care matters. This article describes a team-based approach for diabetes and multimorbidity, where specialists collaborate to improve treatment 🏥

By identifying the socioeconomic and clinical factors influencing comorbidities in people with IBD, this study supports tailored interventions to improve outcomes in hospital and outpatient settings 💡
This study highlights the role of socioeconomic factors, frailty and polypharmacy in IBD-associated comorbidities, irrespective of hospitalisation status 🏥
People with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be burdened by comorbidities, but their risk factors and significance in outpatients and inpatients is poorly understood ⁉️

Understanding these differences will allow more targeted interventions to improve patient outcomes 👏🏻
People with cardiometabolic multimorbidity females had a higher probability of reporting high depressive symptoms, pain, and activity limitations while males had a higher of reporting infrequent social participation 💡
This study used the Canadian Longitudinal study on aging (CLSA) to explore sex differences in the presence of cardiometabolic multimorbidity as well as the interplay between these factors and disability 🇨🇦

Suggestions include:
- A standardised panel of conditions with clear definitions
- More longitudinal studies focussing on multimorbidity
- Research into outcomes of multimorbidity 💡
This review showed that standardised definitions and measurement tools, justified by purpose and context, are needed to enhance the comparability and reliability of multimorbidity research in India and globally 🌍
Given India’s double burden of communicable and non communicable diseases, fragmented healthcare system and lack of routine data, a comprehensive review of definitions, measurement tools, data and methods in multimorbidity research in India was needed 🇮🇳

Thank you to @DrSianZenaHolt for submitting this excellent work. We are always keen to see a wide variety of methodologies in multimorbidity and comorbidity research - especially qualitative!
Thematic analysis found:
1) Primary care is the starting point to discuss social care needs
2) Social care needs are rising, but NHS capacity is reducing
3) AI offers an efficient approach to cautiously identify holistic needs
4) AI could support effective,
conversations ‼️
The authors of this paper interviewed people with MLTCs, their unpaid carers and health care professionals to explore insights into the use of AI-derived clustering to identify social care needs 💡
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being increasingly used in large datasets to stratify cohorts with multiple long term conditions (MLTCs) to identify those with the greatest need or highest risk of complications 🖥️

This study will improve the interpretability of PETS scores, with ongoing verification of the preliminary estimates 👏🏻
Using the 2 surveys, mainly comprising older adults, identified cut scores to distinguish severity of treatment burden using PETS 💡
This study utilised survey data from 771 adults with multimorbidity to determine severity cut points for the PETS - a self report measure of treatment burden 🏥

Telehealth showed the potential to improve access to care, health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs but there are challenges like digital literacy ⚕️
Asynchronous telehealth interventions were the most common (10/15), focussing more on physical (11/15) than mental health conditions 🏥
This scoping review explored telehealth interventions for managing multimorbidity in rural and remote areas, analysing 15 studies from 11 countries ☎️
Did you know that telehealth can improve health outcomes and reduce costs for individuals with multimorbidity?
