How Do Surgical Techniques Relate to Epidemiology?
Surgical techniques are related to epidemiology in several ways:
Reduction of Disease Burden: Surgical interventions can significantly reduce the burden of diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and infectious diseases like appendicitis. Infection Control: Epidemiologists study the impact of surgical techniques on the transmission of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Outcomes Research: Epidemiologists evaluate the effectiveness and safety of different surgical procedures and techniques.
