Migraine is associated with significant multimorbidity

Takeaway

  • People with migraine experience significant multimorbidity with a systematic increase in morbidity across the entire spectrum of ICD-10 coded diagnoses.

Why this matters

  • Previous studies have shown increased healthcare resource use and sick-leave in people with migraine compared to controls.

  • This is the first study to examine the whole ICD-10 coded diseasome and phenotypic disease networks (PDNs) in people with migraine compared with matched controls.
