chronic condition
Let an agent explain what chronic conditions are and how they are defined, relay their burden and management principles from health sources, describe self-management and support, and route personal health questions to clinicians.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain what chronic conditions are and how they are defined, relay their burden and management principles from health sources, describe self-management and support, and route personal health questions to clinicians.
A health condition that persists for a long time, typically more than three months or a year depending on definition, that can be managed but often not cured, such as diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, heart disease, arthritis, chronic pain and many childhood illnesses; chronic conditions are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide, are managed through long-term care, self-management and prevention, and shape health systems and policy.
What it is for: Not applicable; a category of health condition.
It can be explain definitions and kinds; relay burden and management principles; describe support and self-management; route personal questions to clinicians.
Distinguishing features
Long duration
Management rather than cure
Multimorbidity common
Major health system burden
What it looks like
Not a visible object; long-term conditions recognised by diagnosis and duration.
Physical character
share of global deaths from non-communicable diseases: about 74 percent - WHO estimate
How it is recognised
Long-lasting condition managed rather than cured
Diabetes, respiratory, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and other kinds
Acute conditions are short; disability is a consequence, not a condition

What the second pass must settle
- Should non-communicable disease be the primary linked entry?
- How should condition-specific guidelines be linked?
- The registry entry has merged aliases naming specific conditions; should they be split off?
