Development and validation of a chronic diagnosis inventory that enables reliable documentation of canine multimorbidity in the Dog Aging Project
The CDI will enable veterinarians to accurately and consistently document multimorbidity in diverse settings, which will enable the construction of multimorbidity tools. These tools can be used to predict the development of new morbidities in a multimorbid dog, anticipate the impact of new diagnoses on patient lifespan and quality of life, and plan for associated healthcare costs.
