Systematic age-related differences in chronic disease management in a population-based cohort study: a new paradigm of primary care is required.

PLoS ONE. 2014;9(3):e91340, PMID: 24632818

Our interest in chronic conditions is due to the fact that, worldwide, chronic diseases have overtaken infectious diseases as the leading cause of death and disability, so their management represents an important challenge for health systems. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of primary health care services in managing diabetes, congestive heart failure (CHF) and coronary heart disease (CHD), by age group.
