Best Evidence-Based
Clinical Decision
Support Tool
BMJ Best Practice with Comorbidities is the only EBM tool with a dedicated comorbidities algorithm. Point-of-care guidance is uniquely structured around the patient consultation. Healthcare professionals and teams receive a tailored plan that treats the whole patient.
Please note: Within the Americas, Comorbidities access is currently limited to Canada.
Explore Comorbidities Topics
When comorbidities are considered in the acute care setting, healthcare professionals more effectively manage their patients. This leads to better clinical outcomes, shorter hospital stays and fewer readmissions.

Free: Acute Exacerbation of COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a long-term condition that affects a patient’s lungs. It causes the airways to become narrow, trapping air in the chest and making it difficult to exhale. An acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) is a type of clinical diagnosis that occurs when patients with COPD experience a sustained increase in dyspnea, sputum production, and or cough. It is important to note that comorbidities have a significant impact on the treatment considerations for AECOPD.
Test the comorbidities algorithm for evidence-based guidance on symptom evaluation, test ordering and treatment.
Free: COVID-19
The presence of two chronic conditions alongside COVID-19 may increase the chance of hospitalization and/or the risk of death. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has published a list of comorbid conditions in COVID-19 patients. It includes Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, pregnancy, obesity, Down syndrome, heart disease, chronic kidney disease and cancer.
Test the comorbidities algorithm to see how our clinical decision support tool can help professionals in COVID-19 care, management and severity assessment.
