Morbidity refers to the absence of health, including physical and psychological well-being. In medical decision making, one cares about morbidity in the following three constructs: (1) the baseline incidence or prevalence of morbidity in the absence of an intervention; (2) the decrease in morbidity in the presence of an efficacious, effective, and cost-effective prevention or treatment intervention; and, in some cases, (3) the increase in morbidity because of an intervention, in terms of adverse events.
