Original research: Multimorbidity and patient-reported diagnostic errors in the primary care setting: multicentre cross-sectional study in Japan

摘要

There is lack of evidence for the association between multimorbidity and diagnostic errors. Information on diagnostic errors from patients’ perspectives is crucial to improve the diagnostic process. In this study, we aimed to investigate patient-reported diagnostic errors and to examine the relationship between multimorbidity and patient-reported diagnostic errors in the primary care setting.
