This represented 840 961 encounters from about 200 000 individual patients at these participating practices. Methods and results: Twelve month data from patients attending 156 GPs from 95 practices around a six month period of January to June 2003 were analysed. Another aim of this study is to describe the common clusters of co-prescribing. In general practice, few studies have been conducted into co-morbidity, either at a single health care encounter, an episode of care, or for a defined time period.Īims: To describe the major co-morbidity cluster profiles recorded by general practitioners. However, the clinical relevance of co-morbidity has yet to be defined. Background: Co-morbidity, or the presence of more than one clinical condition, is gaining increased attention in epidemiological and health services research.
