Abstract:ObjectiveTo introduce directed hypergraphs as a novel tool for assessing the temporal relationships between coincident diseases, addressing the need for a more accurate representation of multimorbidity and leveraging the growing availability of electronic healthcare databases and improved computational resources.MethodsDirected hypergraphs offer a high-order analytical framework that goes beyond the limitations of directed graphs in representing complex relationships such as multimorbidity. We apply this appro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
