ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how having multiple illnesses and complex health issues affects the health and outcomes of adults who are hospitalized in internal medicine departments. Researchers want to understand how these complexities relate to important factors like mortality (whether patients survive or not), how long they stay in the hospital, and any complications they may experience. The study will involve tracking over 2,300 participants from different hospitals for a year to gather useful information.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be at least 18 years old and provide consent to join. There are no specific health conditions that exclude someone from participating, so many hospitalized patients can be considered. If someone joins the study, they can expect to be monitored for 12 months, which will help researchers learn more about the challenges faced by patients with multiple health issues and ultimately improve care for future patients.
