Multimorbidity trajectories of long-term conditions.

Multimorbidity refers to the co-occurrence of two or more chronic medical conditions. It poses a significant global healthcare challenge and has been associated with adverse clinical outcomes, increased mortality rates, and substantial financial burden. Patients with multimorbidity are two to three times more likely to die than those without the condition. The aim of this project is to study disease trajectories and their clusters in a large Scottish adult population using data-driven methods. This project is a collaboration between Dr Areti Maniataki (School of Computer Science), Dr Michail Papathomas (School of Mathematics and Statistics), Dr Katherine Keenan (School of Geography) and Professor Colin McCowan (School of Medicine).
