Objective To investigate the status and factors influencing health-related quality of life(HRQoL)in elderly patients with multiple chronic conditions(MCC),in order to provide a basis for further health management.Methods Patients hospitalized in the internal medicine ward of the Beijing Tiantan Hospital between November 2022 and June 2023 were included as the study population.A self-developed questionnaire was used to collect the basic information.The Apriori algorithm was used to analyze the chronic disease comorbidity.The EuroQol 5-dimension 5-level was used to as-sess HRQoL,and the Tobit regression model was employed to analyze the factors influencing HRQoL.Results Among the 214 elderly patients with MCC,the most common chronic comorbidity patterns were hypertension+diabetes and hy-pertension+diabetes+chronic renal insufficiency.The health utility value for these patients was 0.89(0.67,1.00).The self-reported problem of anxiety/depression was the lowest,while the problem related to daily activities was the high-est.The Tobit regression results showed that better HRQoL was associated with younger age,fewer chronic diseases,ac-tive participation in exercise,and urban employee medical insurance(P＜0.05).Conclusion The HRQoL of elderly patients with MCC was found to be poor.It is suggested to focus on factors such as age,the number of chronic diseases,exercise participation,and medical insurance.It is essential to strengthen scientific lifestyle guidance and enhance the a-bility for comprehensive management of MMC.
