Trajectories of Treatment Burden Among Primary Care Patients with Long-Term Conditions in Southern China: A Latent Class Growth Analysis.

Among patients with a single LTC, the TBQ scores had a sharp increase from baseline to 6 months, followed by a decreasing trend between months 12–18; while in their counterparts with 2 or more LTCs (ie, multimorbidity), the TBQ scores increased mildly over the first 12 months and then declined, with higher treatment burden than those with the absence of multimorbidity at all time points ( Figure 1B ; Figure 1C ).
