Although my research has been primarily epidemiological, I see #multimorbidity not as just another condition to measure, but a paradigm shift to how we conduct research & organise health care. People living with multiple long-term conditions (or #MLTCs) don't experience them one-at-a-time

Continuous-Time Bayesian Networks with Structured Shrinkage Priors for Modelling Multimorbidity Trajectories in Large-Scale Electronic Health Records
By Olaniran, Paria, Khondoker et al
Multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) arise through complex, time-dependent interactions among diseases, yet existing methods often struggle to jointly model disease progression, multimorbidity networks, and high-dimensional risk factors. We propose a structured Bayesian continuous-time Bayesian network (CTBN) framework for learning directed disease-dependency networks from longitudinal electronic health records. The model allows disease transition intensities to depend on existing conditions, pairwise disease interactions, and exogenous covariates. To control the combinatorial growth of interaction parameters, we introduce order-dependent shrinkage priors that increasingly penalise higher-order effects while preserving clinically interpretable main effects. We compare four sparsity-inducing priors, spike-and-slab, structured normal, Bayesian LASSO, and regularised horseshoe through extensive simulation studies. Across multiple data-generating scenarios, the spike-and-slab prior achieved the best network recovery, variable-selection accuracy, and false-discovery control, while continuous shrinkage priors were less effective for hard variable selection. The proposed framework was applied to UK Biobank primary care records, focusing on data from 33,558 participants who were free of the ten selected most prevalent conditions at age 40 and who subsequently developed at least one of these conditions during the follow-up period. The selected spike-and-slab model identified two dominant disease modules: a cardiometabolic cluster centred on diabetes and an inflammatory cluster linking respiratory and atopic conditions.

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 …

Paulin asks how many people moved to MLTCs, and DOH says, "That’s a loaded question. They’re still in the Medicaid program."

Disgusting response. Thousands of people w disabilities & older adults having been losing their home care as a result of the CDPAP transition. It's been hell for many of us.

Part 2/2
Page 5. There goes that supposed $500 million in savings. There’s more bad news on the cost front. New York employs Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) insurance companies who determine the care people get. In written testimony submitted for the August 21 hearing, the MLTC association stated that PPL is demanding payments for customer care that are “often higher” than what they previously paid. Other testimony at the hearing said this will result in over $500 million in reduced profits for the MLTCs, who will inevitably demand more funding from the state. There’s a photo of Caring Majority advocates holding signs that say, “CDPAP workers are essential,” Home Care heroes not insurance profits.” “Stop Insurance Greed! Raises for home care heroes, not insurance CEOs!” Page 6. If New York truly wants to save money while providing fair home care, the profit-based system must be scaled back or eliminated. End the PPL monopoly and bring back the responsible nonprofits that previously ran CDPAP. For even more savings, the Home Care Savings & Reinvestment Act eliminates profit-grabbing middlemen — the MLTC insurance companies that raked in $2.4 billion in profits from 2021-24. Underneath there’s a diagram flow chart showing money being handed from New York State to Private Insurance companies (and then the money flows outwards towards the words “billions pocketed by private insurance companies”). Then, the remaining money goes to home care agencies & fiscal intermediaries, and the remaining money that’s left goes to home care for older & disabled New Yorkers Page 7. Let New York become an example to the rest of the country, by treating healthcare as a public good, not an opportunity for obscene private equity profiteering. According to the industry publication Mergers & Inquisitions, partners in private equity earn, on average, from $1 million to $2 million per year. The CEO of PPL, private equity partner Miki Kapoor, bought his home in Westchester County for $2.3 million in 2013. There are two images. One of older adults carrying a banner that says, “my home care is not a game,” And the other is a screenshot of a caring majority video of a consumer birddogging Miki Kapoor. The title caption says, Home care consumer CALLS OUT PPL’s private equity CEO Miki Kapoor in a room of health care execs. He makes a promise he can’t keep.” Page 8. As Dr. Nina Bakoyiannis, a CDPAP consumer who testified at the August 21 hearing, said: “Some healthcare executive sits on a yacht, while I’m asking to take a shower.” Bold in red letters, underlined: “New York’s Governor, Department of Health and legislators must address this self-created crisis now, or thousands of our fellow citizens will continue to needlessly suffer.” [End of article] Screenshot from the hearing of Dr. Nina Bakoyiannis testifying.
