Household and area determinants of emergency department attendance and hospitalisation in people with multimorbidity: a systematic review.

Objectives: Multimorbidity is one of the greatest challenges facing healthcare internationally. Emergency department (ED) attendance and hospitalisation rates are higher in people with multimorbidity, but most research focuses on associations with individual characteristics, ignoring household or area mediators of service use.

Design: Systematic review reported using the synthesis without meta-analysis framework.
