Five-year trajectories of multimorbidity patterns in an elderly Mediterranean population using Hidden Markov Models

Abstract This study aimed to analyse the trajectories and mortality of multimorbidity patterns in patients aged 65 to 99 years in Catalonia (Spain). Five year (2012–2016) data of 916,619 participants from a primary care, population-based electronic health record database (Information System for Rese...
