Conditions

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD), Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Dyslipidemia, Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), Obesity, Prediabetes, Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)

Brief summary

The primary objectives are to determine the prevalence and overlap of major cardiometabolic diseases, identify multimorbidity clusters, and characterize demographic, clinical, laboratory, and treatment patterns across the cohort and relevant subgroups. This study is based on anonymized electronic health record (EHR) data and spanning January 2022 to December 2025. EHR will be extracted from participants of Acibadem hospital network in Turkey. Participants received routine clinical care according to physician discretion. Index date will be defined by the first diagnosis of cardiometabolic conditions. Follow-up period will include at least one year of to allow description of long-term outcomes. It will extend until the end of study, last recorded encounter, or death.
