	American Obesity Association - AOA Fact Sheets
		Morbid obesity, also referred to as clinically severe obesity or extreme obesity, is a chronic disease that afflicts approximately 9 million adult Americans.
		The prevalence of morbid obesity is 4.7 percent, according to the last published figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); up from 2.9 percent observed in a national data set obtained from 1988 to 1994.
		The morbidity and mortality risk from being overweight is proportional to its degree.

	Indication and Morbidity of Circumcision in Children
		The indications and morbidity of circumcision in infants and children in Southampton was prospectively reviewed between February 1st and July 1st, 1983.
		Although the indications and results of circumcision were documented for all 140, the details of the morbidity were only assessed in the 99 (70.7%) who lived within the range of our nurses.
		The overall major morbidity of the 140 circumcisions comprising admission to hospital or further surgery, was 6.4%.

	Morbidity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Accordingly, the term morbidity rate can refer either to the incidence rate or to the prevalence rate of a disease.
		Compare with mortality rate, the number of people dying from a particular disease during a given time interval, divided by the total number of people in the population.
		Morbidity is often what is measured by ICU scoring systems.

	Harmonisation of national influenza surveillance morbidity data from EISS: a simple index
		The morbidity indicators are used for the estimation of the influenza activity (influenza-attributable illnesses in the population) while the virological data are used to link the excess morbidity to the circulation of the agent and to get specific information on the circulating types, subtypes and strains (5,6).
		The index for each week is calculated as the excess morbidity (observed value for the week minus 'background' expected for the week) in relation to the reference value representing the increase indicating usual influenza activity.
		Morbidity data based on at least 0.5 to 1% of the population under surveillance are generally considered to be sufficient for influenza that causes symptomatic illness in approximately 5% to 10% of the population during average seasons (15-18).

		The relative risk ratio for morbidity did not change significantly across the studies suggesting that the result was not dependent upon a single influential study.

	4. Controlled Trials of Vitamin and Morbidity in Young Children
		Also, the need for research on morbidity came to be recognized because of the strong expectation, based on epidemiologic observations of an association of xerophthalmia and infection (see Chapter 2), that reductions in the incidence and/or severity of respiratory and gastrointestinal infections were the presumed mechanisms behind the large mortality declines.
		Morbidity information missing for 5.7% of weekly follow-ups and loss to follow up was 11.6%; treatment and control had similar rates.
		An integrated morbidity score was estimated for diarrhoea, upper respiratory-tract infection, pneumonia and laryngotracheo-bronchitis by weighing various factors including source of information (mother vs. hospital) and severity of the episode.

	H069: Morbidity Differentials in Rural Karnataka (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It may be noted though that unlike fertility or mortality measures, the morbidity measure derived from two surveys are not comparable mainly due to differences in the definition of morbidity and reference periods: thus, the inclusion or exclusion of certain illnesses or the length of the recall period can influence morbidity rates.
		It is also possible that since information about the morbidity status of all the members in the household was asked of the head of the household, morbidity incidences of a minor nature or of lesser duration which may be higher in large-sized households as compared to small-sized households were missed out.
		The data presented in Table 3 conform this hypothesis in that the prevalence of morbidity for those living in kachcha (makeshift) houses was highest (13.1 per cent) and that of those living in pucca (permanent) houses was the least (9.5 per cent).

		Defining, interpreting and measuring maternal morbidity, however, is recognised to be difficult and the prevalence of such morbidity (both general and specific) has been poorly described [1,2].
		In this study, the hospital registers were used to identify all cases of postpartum morbidity presenting to UTH, and from these to estimate the incidence of, and identify the nature of postpartum morbidity severe enough to require admission for hospital-level treatment.
		Surveys of women's self-reported morbidity frequently cite symptoms in the postpartum period that could be suggestive of or lead to anaemia, including chronic fatigue [19] and excessive bleeding [15,20,21].

	The Effects of Vitamin A Supplementation on the Morbidity of Children Born to HIV-Infected Women
		The rates of morbidity for those receiving supplementation were lower for almost every condition when assessed individually.
		Among the 85 children whose HIV status was known, diarrhea-related morbidity was almost reduced by half in the supplemented HIV-infected group.
		The researchers concluded that, in a population where vitamin A deficiency is not endemic, vitamin A supplementation for the children of HIV-infected women appeared to be beneficial and to reduce morbidity.

	Breast Implant Morbidity
		Implants that had been used for breast augmentation and breast reconstruction for nearly thirty years were suddenly forced off the market by the Food and Drug Administration amidst reports that the silicone-filled implants caused a multitude of chronic, life-threatening diseases.
		Insufficient study and questionable professional testimony led to a judgement in favor of the patients and the downfall of at least one major silicone implant manufacturer.
		As a result, true breast implant morbidity lies in the local complications of implantation/explantation rather than in the systemic, chemical maladies of the implant-filling substances themselves.

		Given the morbidity associated with these standard treatments and the frequent need for postoperative adjuvant therapy, the use of a more conservative approach, such as local excision with adjuvant therapy as primary therapy for selected cases of rectal cancer is appealing.
		The perioperative morbidity was statistically lower with PLAFUR: a perioperative morbidity was experienced by 20/81 (25%) patients with FUMIR treatment and by 9/80 (11%) patients with PLAFUR treatment (p = 0.042).
		Postoperative morbidity was less in hospitals with a case volume of more than 20 patients per year (41.7 per cent in group 2 versus 49.9 per cent in group 1).

	Mode of Delivery and Postpartum Morbidity among HIV-Infected Women: The Women and Infants Transmission Study
		The goal of this study was to describe postpartum morbidity among HIV-infected women in North America enrolled in the Women and Infants Transmission Study (WITS)-an ongoing, multi-center cohort study of HIV-infected women and their children sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and other federal agencies.
		The primary hypothesis of the study was that scheduled cesarean delivery is associated with a higher risk of postpartum morbidity and longer hospitalization time than vaginal delivery.
		The most common reported postpartum morbidity events were fever without infection, hemorrhage or severe anemia, endometritis, urinary tract infection and cesarean wound complications.

	About this Tool
		However, it is challenging to define maternal morbidity due to the lack of a standardized method for acquiring statistics to describe illness and disability related to pregnancy.
		Maternal morbidity is misunderstood, less frequently measured, and more difficult to track at the population level than maternal mortality.
		An overview of maternal morbidity is provided, along with examples of national population-based data collection systems in which indicators of maternal morbidity are measured.
