Abstract

Although co/multimorbidities are associated with a significant increase in mortality, lack of quantitative exploratory techniques often impedes an in-depth analysis of their association. In the current study, we explore the clustering of co/multimorbid patients in the Texas patient population. We employ unsupervised agglomerative hierarchical clustering to find clusters of co/multimorbid patients within this population. Our analysis revealed the presence of nine distinct, clinically relevant clusters of co/multimorbidities within the study population of interest. This technique provides a quantitative exploratory analysis of the co/multimorbidities present in a specific population.
