          • Example sentence(s)
            • Many efforts are underway to develop chronic disease management programs, but the majority of them focus on single chronic diseases and do not recognize the presence of co-morbidity (suffering from more than one condition) for many individuals with chronic disease. - University of British Columbia by Enrique Cavalitto
            • Identifying preventable risk factors may allow clinicians to decrease these unfortunate events. In order to perform appropriate statistical analyses, measures of important environmental exposures are needed because these are known to substantially increase exacerbation risk, including co-morbidity, medication use, tobacco smoking history and smoking status. - BioMed Central Ltd by Enrique Cavalitto
            • While the data in some areas of co-morbidity are stronger than in others, relatively little is known about the risk factors that increase the probability of co-morbidity or the protective factors that decrease its probability. - National Institute of Mental Health by Enrique Cavalitto

          • Definition(s)
            • "Als Komorbidität wird in der Medizin ein zusätzlich zu einer Grunderkrankung (Indexerkrankung) vorliegendes, diagnostisch abgrenzbares Krankheits- oder Störungsbild bezeichnet. Komorbiditäten können, müssen aber nicht – im Sinne einer Folgeerkrankung – ursächlich mit der Grunderkrankung zusammenhängen. Eine besondere Schwierigkeit bei der Bestimmung von Komorbiditäten besteht in der Frage, welche zusätzlichen Befunde als Symptome gewertet und welcher beziehungsweise welchen Krankheit(en) diese gegebenenfalls zugeordnet werden."

          • Example sentence(s)
            • Giova premettere che l’interesse di molte diverse specialità per il gioco patologico dipende, in parte, dall’esten-sione moderna delle occasioni di “azzardo” essendovi, ovviamente, un rapporto fra aumento delle autorizzazioniai casinò, diffusione di videogiochi, di lotterie, di siti Internet per scommesse e sviluppo di comportamenti compul-sivi. Il che è tipico di molte situazioni di dipendenza, com’è usuale che vi siano comorbosità per cui il gioco pato-logico spesso si inserisce in uno spettro di disturbi (6): predomina, nelle ricerche iniziali, l’ipotesi che vi sia un’a-normalità nel meccanismo di ricompensa dopaminica. - UNICRI by Alessandra Renna
            • Le condizioni di comorbosità accertate nelle schede di morte sono principal-mente di natura respiratoria e cardiaca. Le proporzioni rilevate delle condizionicomorbose, aggiustate per età, sono risultate coerenti con altri studi. E’ da notare che i tumori, compresa la leucemia, sono soltanto il 4% circa delle circostanzecomorbose alla morte, una quota molto inferiore rispetto alla popolazione generale. Tale fenomeno è in linea con i risultati più recenti di studi di popolazione sullaSD, che hanno ipotizzato un’esposizione ridotta a fattori ambientali, come alcoole tabacco, e potenziali fattori oncosoppressori attivati dalla trisomia 21. - Istituto Affari Sociali by Alessandra Renna
