1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Findley, P., C. Shen, and U. Sambamoorthi, Multimorbidity and persistent depression among veterans with diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension.<\/em> Health Soc Work, 2011. 36<\/strong>: p. 109-19. [PubMed abstract<\/a>] Publication number 15 on the list is an article by Mary E. Tinetti and Stephanie A. Studenski published in the \u2018Perspective\u2019 section of the New England Journal of Medicine. I would like to bring to your attention its most important statements in my opinion:<\/p>\n \u201cPrimary outcomes tend to be disease-specific\u2026 Such outcomes work well in efficacy studies, which reveal a therapy\u2019s effect on a specific outcome under ideal circumstances in a homogeneous population. They make less sense, however, for comparing treatments in patients with multiple chronic conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cResearchers have largely shied away from the complexity of multiple chronic conditions \u2014 avoidance that results in expensive, potentially harmful care of unclear benefit. We cannot improve health care\u2019s quality, effectiveness, and efficiency without addressing its greatest consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n It is well worth the read.<\/p>\n All references are included in our blog\u2019s library<\/a>. Feel free to share with anyone interested in multimorbidity.<\/p>\n Martin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Martin Fortin New papers on multimorbidity have been published during the June-September period of this year.
