Delayed Healthcare Due to Cost Among Adults with Multimorbidity in the United States.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
objectivesMultimorbidity, defined as two or more chronic diseases co-occurring in an individual, has been linked to elevated healthcare utilization and out-of-pocket expenses. Yet, the barriers to healthcare access due to the health profile of multimorbid adults are underexplored. This study investigates the differences in delayed healthcare due to cost among adults with multimorbidity and those with one chronic disease condition.
methodsData from the National Health Interview Survey from the years 2016-2018 and 2020-2021 were examined. The sample included 13,439 adults with at least one of the chronic disease conditions outlined by the US Department of Health and Human Services. Logistic regression models were used to estimate odd ratios of delayed healthcare due to cost among participants.
resultsMultimorbid adults were 1.29 times more likely to delay healthcare compared to adults living with one chronic disease (
conclusionsOur findings highlight the disparities in healthcare success experienced by adults living with multimorbidity and indicate the need for policymakers to implement targeted measures such as subsidized costs for comorbidities to alleviate the financial burdens experienced by this population.
