Comorbidity is a Significant Health Problem
• Individuals with comorbidities– 28% of Americans– 3 out of 4 individuals over the age 65
• Increasing number of persons living with comorbidities• 1987: 31% Medicare beneficiaries with 5 or more comorbidities • 2002: ~50% of all Medicare beneficiaries with 5 or more comorbidities
(Anderson, 2010; MedPAC, 2010; U.S. Dept Health & Human Services, 2010)
Comorbidities Financially Challenge the Health Care System
•Driving force of the United States health care spending•Individuals with comorbidities account for:
– 98% of Medicare costs – Over 60% of total health care expenditures
• Expenditures increase with each additional comorbidity
(Anderson, 2010; U. S. Dept of Health & Human Services, 2010)
Comorbidities Medically Challenge the Health Care System
• Increase mortality and limit function• Inappropriate care unaligned with patient’s
goals and preferences• Fractured care in multiple health care sites(NQF, 2012; Dept of Health & Human Services, 2010)
Need for Research
• U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Multiple Chronic Conditions—A Strategic Framework: Optimum Health and Quality of Life for Individuals with Multiple Chronic Conditions. Washington, DC. December 2010.
• Goal 4: Need for research to benefit individuals with comorbidities – Advance knowledge – Develop interventions– Develop systems
What is Comorbidity?
• Multiple terms used in health care to describe comorbidity(ies)
• Multiple outcomes• Temporal components
(Feinstein, 1970; Yancik et al., 2007; Vogeli et al., 2007; Wolff, Starfield, & Anderson, 2002; Karlamangla et al., 2007; Weiss, 2007)
Research Question
• What is the definition of comorbidity(ies) – Chronically ill adults – Transitioning through acute episodes of illness
Today’s Symposium
• The Science of Comorbidities: Current Quandaries and Future Recommendations
• Concept Analyses– Empirical Article Selection for Concept Analysis– Dimensional Analysis: Comorbidities in the Face of
Transitions– Evolutionary Analysis: Comorbidity in Patients
Undergoing Transitions
• Closing Remarks
Empirical Article Selection for Concept Analysis of Patients with Comorbidities Undergoing Care Transitions

Purpose
• Decisions regarding search strategies and article selection influence concept analysis findings and impact knowledge development
• Careful planning and explicit criteria decrease the potential to introduce study bias
• The purpose of this presentation is to describe our methods to capture a heterogeneous, representative body of empirical literature for two concept analyses
Literature Search
Goal: Transparent literature searchPreliminary literature searchesDeveloped and finalized literature search syntax
Buck, H.G., Meghani, S., Bettger, J.P. et al., 2012. The use of comorbidities
among adults experiencing care transitions: a systematic review and evolutionary analysis of empirical literature. Chronic Illness.
Initial Inclusion Criteria
• Years of publication: 1965-present • Age: Adults 19+ • Human • English language • Research Articles • Transition: There should be an acute event with at least one
transition from high to low or low to high acuity care. • United States (both VA and non-VA)
Literature Search
Four databases MedlineCinahlPsycINFOWeb of Science - Social Science
Uploaded into Refworks 5,917 references
Representative Heterogeneous Database
• Random selection of 650 articles (50 articles per working group member)
• Review articles according to inclusion criteria
Initial Review
• Selected 98 articles• Refinement of definition of transition
Refinement of Parameters of Transitions
• An acute episode of chronic illness with at least one transition
• Transitional settings (i.e., in the context of low to high acuity or high to low acuity care)
• Related variables directly or indirectly accounted for in the analysis of transitional outcomes (cost, re-hospitalization, functional status, and QOL)
Continued Review of Articles
• Final review for uniformity and fidelity to inclusion criteria
• Final database: 60 articles
Search from 1965 – July, 2009

Summary: Comorbidities in the Context of Care Transitions
New Approaches
• Patient focused– Loss of the voice of the individual– Individual experience
• Measuring risk for individuals– Predict or explain outcomes on individual, disease,
and system levels– Risk over time– Co-existing vs. co-occurring
New Approaches
• Relationships– Among comorbidities– Among individuals, comorbidities, and
consequences• Complexity
– Synergism vs. relative importance vs. patterns– Number, nature, and extent
New Approaches
• Importance of terminology– Nosology– Principality– Dynamicity
