Multimorbidity status was categorized based on the number of chronic conditions included in the electronic Multimorbidity Frailty Index: 0\u20132 as no or mild, 3\u20134 as moderate, 5\u20139 as high and \u226510 as very high multimorbidity. We evaluated the association between multimorbidity categories and clinical outcomes: in\u2010hospital mortality, improvement in basic activities of daily living, extended hospital stay and discharge destination. The hazard ratio (HR) or odds ratio (OR) was calculated using multivariable Cox or logistic regression analyses after adjustment for age, sex and basic activities of daily living score at admission as a reference for no or mild multimorbidity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Very high multimorbidity was significantly associated with increased in\u2010hospital mortality (HR 3.10, 95% CI 1.28\u20137.51), less basic activities of daily living improvement (HR 0.51, 95% CI 0.37\u20130.71), less home discharge for patients admitted from home (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.44\u20130.85) and longer hospital stays (OR 2.11, 95% CI 1.34\u20133.33).
