Challenges and improvement strategies in the hospitalization of chronic multimorbid patients.
Review in World journal of clinical cases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAddressing the growing challenge of hospitalizing chronic multimorbid patients, this study examines the strain these conditions impose on healthcare systems at a local level, focusing on a pilot program. Chronic diseases and complex patients require comprehensive management strategies to reduce healthcare burdens and improve patient outcomes. If proven effective, this pilot model has the potential to be replicated in other healthcare settings to enhance the management of chronic multimorbid patients.
aimTo evaluate the effectiveness of the high complexity unit (HCU) in managing chronic multimorbid patients through a multidisciplinary care model and to compare it with standard hospital care.
methodsThe study employed a descriptive longitudinal approach, analyzing data from the Basic Minimum Data Set (BMDS) to compare hospitalization variables among the HCU, the Internal Medicine Service, and other services at Antequera Hospital throughout 2022. The HCU, designed for patients with complex chronic conditions, integrates a patient-centered model emphasizing multidisciplinary care and continuity post-discharge.

conclusionThis study demonstrates the effectiveness of the HCU in managing patients with complex chronic diseases through a multidisciplinary approach. The coordinated care provided by the HCU results in improved patient outcomes, reduced unnecessary hospitalizations, and better management of patient complexity. The superiority of the HCU compared to standard care is evident in key outcomes such as fewer readmissions and higher patient satisfaction, reinforcing its value as a model of care to be replicated.
