However, the inability to eliminate uncertainty facilitates the perpetuation of these practices and creates daunting obstacles for clinicians and patients. To physicians, researchers, and health authorities, an organizing conceptual framework that categorizes these various varieties of complexity in a consistent, useful way can therefore be of benefit. Such a framework may allow researchers to quantify and understand the mechanisms and manifestations
