To translate the European General Practice Research Network multimorbidity definition according to Portuguese cultural and linguistic features.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. Similar to the process completed in several other European countries, a forward and backward translation of the English multimorbidity definition using the Delphi technique was performed in Portugal.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Twenty-three general practitioners (GPs)\u201414 males and 9 females\u2014agreed to form the Portuguese expert panel for the Delphi process (59% acceptance rate). The Portuguese definition of multimorbidity was achieved after two Delphi rounds with a mean (SD) consensus score for final round of 8.43\/9 (0.73).<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. With this paper the definition of multimorbidity is now available in a new language\u2014Portuguese. Its availability in the local language will raise Portuguese GPs\u2019 awareness about multimorbidity and allow future national and international research. The operationalization of the definition will allow an easier identification of patients with multimorbidity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/965025","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,23]],"date-time":"2015-11-23T21:04:20Z","timestamp":1448312660000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Defining Multimorbidity: From English to Portuguese Using a Delphi Technique"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2015","author":[{"given":"Filipe","family":"Prazeres","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias da Sa\u00fade, Universidade da Beira Interior, 6200-506 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"},{"name":"Centro de Sa\u00fade de Aveiro, 3810-042 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Luiz Miguel","family":"Santiago","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias da Sa\u00fade, Universidade da Beira Interior, 6200-506 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"},{"name":"USF Top\u00e1zio, 3020-171 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Augusto","family":"Sim\u00f5es","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias da Sa\u00fade, Universidade da Beira Interior, 6200-506 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"},{"name":"USF Marqu\u00eas de Marialva, 3060-123 Cantanhede, Portugal"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1370\/afm.983"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/13814789609162146"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3399\/bjgp11x548929"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0102149"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.respe.2014.09.002"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamda.2013.01.001"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0115796"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5712\/rbmfc9(32)935"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2015-009287"},{"key":"10","series-title":"edited by M.
