The effective communication of risk, which is central to the process of consent, can be difficult, and can be hard for patients to understand. We introduce the potential utility of the micromort, a unit of risk defined as a one-in-a-million chance of sudden death, which allows clinicians to compare the risks of an intervention with those of different activities, making them easier to understand.
风险的有效沟通是同意过程的核心,但这可能很困难,患者也难以理解。我们引入了微摩(micromort)的潜在效用,微摩是一种风险单位,定义为百万分之一的猝死几率,它使临床医生能够将一项干预措施的风险与不同活动的风险进行比较,从而使这些风险更容易理解。
