Cognitive bias is an important source of medical error. In this analysis of over 700 general surgical cases with complications, the authors attributed cognitive bias in one-third of all cases. These cases were also associated with an increase in management errors (e.g., diagnostic, communication, or therapeutic errors) and a lower standard of care.
