====== Morbidity ====== {{rss>https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/rss/search/1Li5J1cBG7VGyJOGjwcla-pv4EcE-FBcPAeY8xGHf1g6ZzpouE/?limit=15&utm_campaign=pubmed-2&fc=20240105103814}} Morbidity refers to the state of being diseased or unhealthy within a population. Precise delineation of individualized risks of morbidity and [[mortality]] is crucial in decision-making in [[neurosurgery]]. Overall, the magnitude of medical [[error]]s in neurosurgery and the lack of focused research emphasize the need for prospective categorization of morbidity with judicious attribution. Ultimately, we must raise awareness of the impact of medical errors in neurosurgery, reduce the occurrence of medical errors, and mitigate their detrimental effects ((Rolston JD, Zygourakis CC, Han SJ, Lau CY, Berger MS, Parsa AT. Medical errors in neurosurgery. Surg Neurol Int. 2014 Oct 13;5(Suppl 10):S435-40. doi: 10.4103/2152-7806.142777. eCollection 2014. PubMed PMID: 25371849.)). ---- [[Morbidity and Mortality meeting]]s are essential components of neurosurgical [[practice]], providing a structured [[forum]] for clinicians to [[review]] and discuss [[adverse]] [[patient outcome]]s.
