THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING AND MULTIMORBIDITY. A VIEW FROM TELECARE Edurne Alonso Morán Biostatician Researcher Collaborative Research of Osatek, SA, Public Society of the Basque Government

Introduction The Public Telecare Service of the Basque Government (betion) provides home care for dependent and older people through a technological device that guarantees a permanent connection with an interdisciplinary team of professionals who are trained in remote socio health care. One of the main objectives of betion is to promote the permanence of their users in their usual social environment. Moreover, this connection with health care devices allows implementing shared information systems with health and social data, which enable a characterization of the attended population and the development of integrated models for health and social provision.

The users of telecare service The users of telecare service have at least one of the following characteristics: People over 75 who live alone People over 65 who are in a situation of acknowledged dependency or in situation of vulnerability recognized by social services People with intellectual, physical or sensorial disability and recognized dependency at any degree People who have a diagnosed mental illness and present a situation of recognized dependency or risk of social exclusion. In 2013, the 77.57% of the telecare population were aged above 80 years, 80.69% of users were female and 65% livedalone.

Objectives of the study Describing the quality of life of users of public telecare service collected by the EQ 5D 3L questionnaire (EuroQol) Establishing the relationship between quality of life and multimorbidity. Analyzing the relative impact of a potentially large number of coexisting conditions on overall Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) Analyzing the effects of different conditions in the specific dimensions of HRQOL (mobility, self care, daily activities, pain/discomfort and depression/anxiety).

Methods It was extracted information from the stratification database of the Basque Country (PREST) of 1,125 users of betion. PREST has been created to classify all Basque citizens based on their future health care needs in a hundred mutually exclusive groups, Adjusted Clinical Groups (ACG), provided by the case mix developed at Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore). This database contains demographic, socioeconomic (depriva on index of the residence area) and clinical variables, from data registered in the Minimum Basic Data Set (MBDS) and annotations in electronic health records of specialist care and primary care. To detect chronic disease, it was used information about diagnoses and prescriptions. For HRQOL, it was utilized the EQ 3D questionnaire by telephone between the users of betion. Some social variables were also collected

In females, the youngest group reported the worst values of HRQOL.

Results: Multimorbidity and HRQOL Women obtained worse values on the scale of HRQOL than men. Each chronic condition rested 2.5 points to EQ VAS index. Age was not significant in the model.

Limitations A frequent situation for some chronic diseases is that the administrative databases only contain records of morbidity attended, so information on diseases and conditions is excluded for which patients do not require assistance. Although a universal insurance system like ours barriers to accessibility are lower than elsewhere. Moreover,wehavetotakeintoaccountthat questionnaires are subject to a subjective perspective.

Conclusions I The most prevalent chronic disease among men were hypertension, anxiety, dyspepsia, diabetes, prostatic hypertrophy, atrial fibrillation, COPD, cancer, stroke and ischemic heart disease; and among women hypertension, anxiety, joint degeneration, dyspepsia, diabetes, depression and osteoporosis. It was noted that more than half of the users had no of anxiety or depression, in addition, 72% did not have with self care. However, 61% of the users have moderate or severe in mobility, 56% in daily activities and 69% in the dimension of pain or discomfort. The mean of the overall rate of EQ VAS was higher among men and among older people

Conclusions II Parkinson, chronic heart disease (others), ischemic heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis and others, schizophrenia and hepatopancreatic chronic disease are those which reported the worst values in all dimensions of the Euroqol. The chronic diseases which obtained poorer EQ VAS global index were the Parkinson(0.46)andalcohol abuse (0.44). Distinguishing between sexes, for men were psoriasis or eczema (0.23)andrheumatoidarthritisandother (0.33)andforwomenwerealcohol abuse (0.32) and peripheral vascular disease (0.38). The study of the association between multimorbidity and quality of life showed that female gender, the number of chronic conditions and living with one or more persons got worse values in terms of HRQOL.

Conclusions III The study of the association between chronic diseases and each dimension of the EuroQol showed that: Joint degeneration and rheumatoid arthritis increased the risk of moderate or severe in the dimension of mobility, self care and pain or discomfort. Peripheral vascular disease increased the risk of having in the dimensions of daily activities, pain or discomfort and anxiety or depression. Heart failure increased the risk in the dimensions of mobility, daily activities and pain or discomfort. Parkinson or muscular dystrophy or paralysis increased the risk of having moderate or severe in self care, mobility and daily activities dimensions. Depression increased the risk of moderate or severe in the dimensions of self care, daily activities and obviously in anxiety or depression.

Future interventions We should identify most appropriate strategies for improving quality of life, especially in certain pathologies. Moreover, we should develop specific interventions in subgroups with similar characteristics (women or younger groups) to improve the quality of life and manage multimorbidity.
