Background: The Russian military invasion of Ukraine has sparked Europe's largest forced displacement since World War II, bringing about significant health vulnerabilities for migrants and refugees. European health information systems lack comprehensive data coverage, especially in underrepresented migration stages like transit. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing data from INTERSOS clinics at the Moldovan and Polish borders with Ukraine to identify the common health conditions prompting people to seek healthcare services during transit.

Background: Addressing the growing challenge of hospitalizing chronic multimorbid patients, this study examines the strain these conditions impose on healthcare systems at a local level, focusing on a pilot program. Chronic diseases and complex patients require comprehensive management strategies to reduce healthcare burdens and improve patient outcomes. If proven effective, this pilot model has the potential to be replicated in other healthcare settings to enhance the management of chronic multimorbid patients.

Introduction: Multimorbid patients have been growing, leading to an exponential increase in healthcare costs and patterns of resource utilization. Despite the heightened interest toward integrated care programs as a response to the complex need of multimorbid patients, economic evaluations of these programs remain scarce. This work investigated the economic evaluations of service interventions targeting multimorbid patients, to identify the characteristics of these programs and the methods applied to their evaluation.

Background: Previous longitudinal studies have linked multimorbidity to loneliness (feeling alienated) and social isolation (having reduced social contact). However, the nature of these associations over time is unclear.
Objective: To examine bidirectional associations of multimorbidity with loneliness and social isolation over a 14-year follow-up in a nationally representative cohort of adults aged ≥ 50 years.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the association of sociodemographic, clinical and functional characteristics with the volume of transitions and specific trajectories across living and care settings.
Methods: Using data from the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care in Kungsholmen study, we identified transitions across home (with or without social care), nursing homes, hospitals and postacute care facilities among 3021 adults aged 60+. Poisson and multistate models were used to investigate the association between sociodemographic, clinical and functional characteristics and both the overall volume and hazard ratios (HRs) of specific transitions.
