Previous studies have shown that different causes of ELBW delivery have no significant effect on the cost, but presence of any co-morbidity can increase the cost of care and treatment by about three times [31].
This indicates the importance of underlying co-morbidities, that can increase the severity of a herpes zoster episode.
Although inotropes have been demonstrated to improve haemodynamics and measured physiological variables [ 2], they may be a source of increased mortality and morbidity as they can increase cardiac arrhythmias and ischaemia [ 7].
Delayed surgical management can increase morbidity and mortality rates unnecessarily [52].
Inappropriate use of non-prescription medicines (NPM) can increase morbidity, mortality and health care associated costs.
Introduction Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after orthotopic liver transplantation that can increase morbidity and mortality rates.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common complications during the postoperative period, causing important discomfort to the patient and also can increase morbidity.
Noncompliance can increase morbidity and thereby increase health care utilisation [ 12– 12].
When medical treatment cannot achieve remission, delaying surgery can increase morbidity and mortality.
Lung resections are correlated to high mortality (4 6%) and morbidity (20 40%) that can increase in high risk patients.
Adrenal dysfunction is commonly observed in severely ill patients, especially in sepsis, and can increase morbidity and mortality.
