description | OBJECTIVES: To describe the prevalence, patterns, and predictors of multimorbidity in adults with an acquired brain injury (ABI) on presentation to a community-based neurorehabilitation service. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study using routinely collected admissions and clinical data. SETTING: Community-based neurorehabilitation. PARTICIPANTS: Individuals (N=263) with non-traumatic brain injury (NTBI; n=187 [71.1%]) versus traumatic brain injury (TBI; n=76 [28.9%]). INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comorbidity was defined as the co-occurrence of at least one chronic condition in conjunction with a primary diagnosis of ABI. Multimorbidity was defined as the co-occurrence of 2 or more chronic conditions across 2 or more body systems, in conjunction with a primary diagnosis of ABI. RESULTS: Comorbidity was present in 72.2% of participants overall, whereas multimorbidity was present in 35.4% of the cohort. The prevalence of comorbidity (76% vs 63%; P=.036) and multimorbidity (40% vs 24%; P=.012) was higher in NTBI compared with participants with TBI. Participants with NTBI had a higher prevalence of physical health multimorbidities, including cardiovascular (44% vs 6%; P<.001) and endocrine (34% vs 10%; P=.002) disease, whereas participants with TBI had a higher prevalence of mental health conditions (79% vs 48%; P<.001). Depression (36.3%) and hypertension (25.8%) were the most common diagnoses. Increasing age was the only significant predictor of multimorbidity. CONCLUSIONS: Most participants experienced multimorbidity. Effective management of multimorbidity should be included as part of individual rehabilitation for ABI and planning of resource allocation and service delivery. The results of this study can help guide the provision of treatment and services for individuals with ABI in community-based rehabilitation. Our study highlights access to mental health, cardiovascular, endocrine, and neurology services as essential components of rehabilitation for ABI. |
