Original quantitative research - Regional variation in multimorbidity prevalence in British Columbia, Canada: a cross-sectional analysis of Canadian Community Health Survey data, 2015/16

Introduction: Multimorbidity represents a major concern for population health and service delivery planners. Information about the population prevalence (absolute numbers and proportions) of multimorbidity among regional health service delivery populations is needed for planning for multimorbidity care. In Canada, health region–specific estimates of multimorbidity prevalence are not routinely presented. The Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) is a potentially valuable source of data for these estimates.
