Adverse outcomes are significant for several reasons:
- Public Health Impact: They help quantify the burden of disease on populations, influencing public health policies and resource allocation. - Clinical Decision-Making: Knowledge of potential adverse outcomes assists healthcare providers in making informed decisions about treatment options. - Risk Assessment: Identifying adverse outcomes contributes to risk assessment models, which predict the likelihood of negative events in specific populations. - Evaluation of Interventions: They are used to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of medical interventions and public health programs.
