  Although co/multi-morbidities are associated with significant increase in
mortality, the lack of appropriate quantitative exploratory techniques often
impede their analysis. In the current study, we study the clustering of
multimorbid patients in the Texas patient population. To this end we employ
agglomerative hierarchical clustering to find clusters within the patient
population. The analysis revealed the presence of nine distinct, clinically
relevant clusters of co/multi-morbidities within the study population of
interest. This technique provides a quantitative exploratory analysis of the
co/multi-morbidities present in a specific population.
