Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Chronic disease management is a public health problem that faces monitoring difficulties related to complex care pathways. This study will analyze the use of unscheduled or urgent care according to the continuity of care in multimorbid patients

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The prevalence of chronic diseases in the population is increasing significantly. It represents a new challenge for doctors and health authorities. However, patients often have at least two chronic diseases. These are referred to as "multimorbid" patients, whose continuity of care has not been well studied to date.

This observational study evaluates the association between the continuity of care in multimorbid patients seen in general practice and their use of urgent healthcare, their quality of life and their burden of treatment.
