Key result
InCLuDimi study protocol targets multimorbidity disease clusters in hospitalized heart failure, COPD, and CKD patients.
Why the study?
Advances in medical care have increased the age and clinical complexity of internal medicine patients with multiple chronic conditions impacting outcomes and treatment.
Observational (n=4,500)
Yes
The InCLuDimi study protocol outlines a prospective, multicenter observational approach to identifying and evaluating the clinical impact of multimorbidity clusters in patients hospitalized with heart failure, COPD, or chronic kidney disease.
Characterizing multimorbidity clusters in these inpatients may refine complexity assessment; leaves open effects on outcomes and trajectories.
Advances in medical care have increased both the age and clinical complexity of patients admitted to internal medicine wards, with multiple chronic conditions significantly impacting outcomes and treatment...

Para et al. (2026) conducted an observational in Multimorbidity (Heart Failure, COPD, Chronic Kidney Disease) (n=4,500). Disease clusters (multimorbidity) was evaluated on Identification and prevalence of disease clusters, defined as the concomitant presence of at least two additional chronic conditions.. The planned InCLuDimi study will identify and assess the prevalence of disease clusters in adult internal medicine inpatients with heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or chronic kidney disease.
