Multiple chronic conditions and disparities in 30-Day hospital readmissions among nonelderly adults.
This study examined the patterns of 30-day hospital readmissions by race/ethnicity and multiple chronic conditions (MCC) burden among nonelderly adult patients. The authors found considerable heterogeneity in levels of readmission risk among racial/ethnic subgroups stratified by chronic conditions. Among patients with a lowest MCC burden, African Americans had the highest risk of readmission, but with a higher MCC burden, the risk of readmission increased most for Hispanics.

Impact of multiple chronic conditions on activity limitations among older Mexican-American care recipients.
The authors examined the impact of multiple chronic conditions on basic activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) limitations. They found that care recipients with three or more chronic conditions had higher odds of having mobility limitations, self-care limitations, more than three ADL limitations, and more than three IADL limitations.

Association of race and ethnicity with management of abdominal pain in the emergency department.
This study, examining racial/ethnic differences in analgesic administration and prolonged length of stay (LOS) in the emergency department (ED) found that among children 21 years of age and younger presenting to EDs with abdominal pain, those who were non-Hispanic black patients were less likely than non-Hispanic white patients to receive any analgesics for pain. They were also more likely to have a prolonged LOS.
