Measures of multimorbidity and association with quality of preventive care.

<p>Left part: Number of comorbidities and percent of provided care for preventive care (blue line) and cardiovascular preventive care (red line), bars showing 95% confidence intervals. Right part: Respective analysis with the Charlson index. Data adjusted for age, sex, civil status, legal status, occupation and treatment center. In a second model we adjusted for number outpatient visits and found similar results.</p
