‚The impact of living with MLTCs was experienced as a multifaceted and complex workload involving multiple types of work, many of which are reciprocally linked. Much of this work, and the associated impact on people, may not be apparent to healthcare staff‘

Living with chronic illness is hard work!
Our paper on the impact of living with multiple long-term conditions on everyday life: a qualitative evidence synthesis. The 'work' is not only around medications and healthcare use, it is also emotional & financial with lots of learning & adaptation

Inspired after a powerful day at #Physio25. From Turning Trauma into Triumph to leadership sessions on influence, data and self-awareness, AI in practice, elevating physio support workers, equity in LGBTQIA+ health and MLTCs, managing complexity & MLTCs. Proud to be physio 💙

Excellent talk by Prof Martin Knapp on social care and the impact of living with dementia and MLTCs. Makes me more sure new preventative models of care are needed that collaborates with health services

Governor Kathy Hochul must have our backs. Her job is to protect all NYers thru treacherous times. Upending CDPAP, failing to pay FairPay4HC, ignoring the bill to end MLTCs - insurance companies profit by $3 billion/yr from Medicaid instead of paying for adequate care & wages. Change direction.

Inequality in the accumulation of diseases and medications among older adults: a longitudinal cohort study 2016–2021
Introduction Socioeconomic deprivation is a major driver of multimorbidity (multiple long-term conditions, MLTCs) and polypharmacy in ageing populations. However, it is unclear how these inequalities ...

Pre-existing multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) reduced odds of full recovery by 34% one year after hospitalization.

Respiratory conditions had strongest negative impact (51% lower recovery odds). Pattern of conditions mattered more than total number in UK cohort. #LongCovid
Investigating prognostic classifications of pre-existing multiple long-term conditions for health outcomes one-year after COVID-19 hospitalisation: a UK prospective observational study - PubMed
Adults with pre-existing MLTCs were 34% less likely to feel fully recovered at one-year after COVID-19 hospitalisation compared with adults without MLTCs. We describe prognostic classifications of MLTCs with future work needed to understand if they have prognostication in broader post-acute infectio …

📢 A new study offers new insight into how we measure quality of life for adults living with multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs).

Researchers want to understand which quality of life measures and whether these tools adequately capture what “living well” means.

Our piece in @bmj.com about the prevention of multiple long term conditions - what do we actually mean by it?
Is it primordial, primary, secondary or tertiary? and what do all of those mean in the context of MLTCs as outcomes?

If we want to take prevention of multiple long term conditions seriously, then we need to know what we mean by that
The prevention of multiple long term conditions needs to be higher up the healthcare agenda and for this to happen we need to be more precise about what we mean when talking about it. As populations ...

@caringmrising.bsky.social Eric Linzer, pres of the MLTCs assn, said could be a “reasonable” postponement of CDPAP transition.He shared how PPL is squeezing MLTCs for more $. MLTCs not used to being squeezed by a monopoly which PPL is.Corporate welfare at corporate warfare! May they all go down.
