| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Because the prevalence of multimorbidity is higher in older adults, we described the common three-way patterns of chronic diseases among older adults aged 75 or older using health insurance claims data. About two thirds of the patients had three or more co-occurring chronic diseases. Then we examined the extent to which each clinical guideline (CGL) took into account patients with multimorbidity and found that only a few CGL did this. To prevent adverse drug events and fragmented and inefficient medical care, a CGL that takes into account multimorbidity should be developed. Finally, we discussed an ideal management strategy for patients with multimorbidity. As Tinetti and Fried (2004) suggested, comprehensive geriatric assessment including physical, psychological, social, and other factors, as well as clinical decision making that is focused on priorities and preferences of individual patients should routinely occur in clinical practice for older patients with multimorbidity.
