Abstract

Multimorbidity-the coexistence of multiple chronic conditions within an individual-is the new normal in hospital settings. Individuals with higher levels of multimorbidity require a multidisciplinary and holistic approach to meet their needs, though the complexity of their neurocognitive profiles is still poorly researched. This study reported on the neurocognitive profile of a 69-year-old, left-handed, Latino cisgender male with 10 years of education. He was deemed to have a short-term mortality in 2018, yet is still enjoying a good quality of life in 2022. This case report illustrated (a) a rather common neurocognitive profile of a patient with complex multimorbidity, (b) the advantages of being served in a center of excellence with linguistically and culturally appropriate services that evaluate patients' cognitive functioning and inform and provide continuity of care, and (c) the benefits of a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to the care of the multimorbidity population.

拉丁裔复杂多病患者神经认知功能的文化能力评估：一个案例研究。

多重发病——一个人同时患有多种慢性疾病——是医院环境中的新常态。高水平多病的个体需要多学科和整体的方法来满足他们的需求，尽管他们的神经认知特征的复杂性仍然很少被研究。本研究报告了一名69岁、左撇子、受过10年教育的拉丁裔顺性男性的神经认知特征。他在2018年被认为是短期死亡，但在2022年仍然享受着高质量的生活。本病例报告说明了(a)复杂多重疾病患者的神经认知特征，(b)在语言和文化上适当的服务中心服务的优势，评估患者的认知功能，告知并提供连续性的护理，以及(c)综合和多学科方法对多重疾病人群的护理的好处。
