    Snippet: We used a recently validated multimorbidity assessment tool to measure the overall burden of chronic diseases at baseline. The methodology proposed by Calderón-Larrañaga et al. (2017) allows for capturing a comprehensive set of chronic diseases that either have a long-lasting impact on older adults' autonomy and quality of life or require enduring contacts with healthcare services.

    Document: We used a recently validated multimorbidity assessment tool to measure the overall burden of chronic diseases at baseline. The methodology proposed by Calderón-Larrañaga et al.

We identified chronic diseases by analysing all diagnoses reported for inpatient and specialized outpatient admissions during the 5 years prior to the index date, as well as specific medications dispensed during the same period.
