ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim is to (i) examine the evolution of (multi-)morbidity in Czechia, (ii) analyse changes in mortality by (multi-)morbidity between 2014 and 2023 and (iii) analyse factors driving mortality change in these subpopulations, using national health registry data, which is unique among countries of the former Eastern Bloc.
