Multi-morbidity is commonly defined as the presence of two or more chronic medical conditions in a patient. These are conditions that currently have no cure, and may be managed with drugs and other treatment. As populations age, the level of multi-morbidity is likely to increase, which will have implications for health and social care provision. GPs record patients with 12 long-term conditions as part of the Jersey Quality Improvement Framework (JQIF). These conditions are a good basis for multi-morbidity analysis and they are agreed amongst clinicians as being important. They are: atrial fibrillation; asthma; coronary heart disease; chronic kidney disease; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; dementia; diabetes; heart failure; hypertension; mental health problems; obesity; stroke and transient ischemic attack. There are now 12 long-term conditions reported (we no longer include Cancer as not part of JQIF).

These values were recalculated in 2023 using the updated population estimates produced earlier that year.
