The repository contains two datset files. An edge list neede to replicate the network multimorbidity modules. The edge list is a data structure used to represent a graph as a list of its edges. And a dataset for multimorbidity patterns (modules) with modules' diseases description. The datasets serve as a supplementary material for the publication "Exploring multimorbidity patterns in older hospitalized Norwegian patients using network analysis modularity".
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the use of Network Analysis (NA) in describing the Multimorbidity Patterns (Mps) in the Norwegian hospitalized older patient population based on national register data.
The source of the original data used in the project is the Norwegian Patient Register (NPR) which contains administrative, demographic, and medical data of patients who have been in contact with specialized health services [16]. Our data cohort comprises all admissions of the patients who were admitted to a Norwegian hospital in a span of three years (2017-2019).
