Abstract:
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.
