Patterns of multimorbidity in people with severe or profound intellectual and motor disabilities

Conclusions and implications People experiencing SPIMD have interrelated health problems. As a consequence, a broad variety of potential interactions between physical health problems and their treatments may occur. Identifying multimorbidity patterns can provide guidance for accurate monitoring of persistent health problems and, early detection of secondary complications. However, the results require confirmation with larger samples in further studies.
