Prevalence of chronic diseases by immigrant status and disparities in chronic disease management in immigrants: a population-based cohort study Valore Project

摘要

BackgroundFor chronic conditions, disparities can take effect cumulatively at various times as the disease progresses, even when care is provided. The aim of this study was to quantify the prevalence of diabetes, congestive heart failure (CHF) and coronary heart disease (CHD) in adults by citizenship, and to compare the performance of primary care services in managing these chronic conditions, again by citizenship.
