Citation Guthrie B, Thompson A, Dumbreck S, Flynn A, Alderson P, Nairn M, Treweek S & Payne K. Better guidelines for better care: accounting for multimorbidity in clinical guidelines structured examination of exemplar guidelines and health economic modelling. Health Services and Delivery Research 2017; 5(16) Authors' objectives To test the feasibility of new approaches to developing single-disease guidelines to better account for multimorbidity. Authors' conclusions Guideline developers could feasibly (1) use epidemiological data characterising the guideline population to inform consideration of applicability and interactions; (2) systematically compare the absolute benefit of long-term preventative treatments to inform decision-making in people with multimorbidity and high treatment burden; and (3) modify the output from economic models used in guideline development to examine time to benefit in terms of the pay-off time and varying competing risk of death from other conditions.
