Cross-sectional study assessing health outcome priorities of older adults with multimorbidity at a primary care setting in Singapore.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Thus, it is important to identify patients' health outcome priorities to align treatment goals with their health preferences. This study aimed to use the Outcome Prioritisation Tool (OPT) to describe the health outcome priorities of older adults with multimorbidity and determine the factors associated with these priorities. Additionally, it aimed to assess the ease of completing the OPT in Singapore's primary care population.
