The term dual diagnosis is often applied to the comorbid existence of both a mental disorder and a developmental disability. In medicine, comorbidity describes the effect of all other diseases an individual patient might have other than the primary disease of interest. The Charlson Comorbidity is the most widely accepted, validated method, currently used to quantify such comorbidity. Many tests attempt to standardize the “weight” or value of comorbid conditions, whether they are secondary or tertiary illnesses. Each test attempts to consolidate each individual comorbid condition into a single, predictive variable that measures mortality or other outcomes. Researchers have validated such tests because of their predictive value, but no one test is as yet recognized as a standard.
