Building on previous definitions, we proposed an iteration that acknowledges the conditions' changing trajectories as involving one or more chronic condition(s), regardless of type(s), whose trajectories can change over time, requiring services across sectors/settings, oftentimes resulting in a lower quality of life. A strength of this paper is the integration of the stakeholders'/family's voices into the development of the definition.
