“…In a recent British retrospective cohort study using the Johns Hopkins University Adjusted Clinical Groups (ACG(R)) Case-Mix System based on combinations of conditions occurring in individuals [35], 58% had multimorbidity [36]. Another study in Ireland found a prevalence of 66.2% in patients over 50 years of age [37].…”

“…Si bien existen numerosos estudios de prevalencia de multimorbilidad 25 , la ausencia de consenso no sólo sobre cómo definir, sino también sobre las formas de medir estos conceptos, limita la interpretación y la comparabilidad de los resultados [26][27][28] . En un momento en que las estrategias de abordaje de la cronicidad se están implementando en el SNS español 29 resulta necesario ampliar la visión más allá de la atención a las patologías crónicas aisla-das 30 , así como generar conocimiento científico relevante en un contexto en el que la investigación médica excluye a los pacientes con multimorbilidad en la mayoría de los ensayos clínicos 31 .…”

“…[5][6][7] Multimorbidity is conceptually distinct from comorbidity in that comorbidity is most often defined as another chronic condition in relation to the chronic disease of interest whereas multimorbidity is meant to represent any co-occurrence of 2 or more chronic conditions within a person. 8 Historically, researchers have tended to focus on the study and treatment of discrete disease states in those hospitalized for conditions such as heart failure, COPD, and diabetes; this tendency is particularly pronounced in the study of acute conditions, like pneumonia. However, several chronic diseases cluster in patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) 9 and thus it provides an ideal condition to study the impact of multimorbidity on outcomes after hospital or emergency department (ED) discharge.…”
