Information
has gloss	(noun) any disease or disorder that occurs during the course of (or because of) another disease; "bed sores are a common complication in cases of paralysis" complication
has gloss	eng: Complication, in medicine, is an unfavorable evolution of a disease, a health condition or a medical treatment. The disease can become worse in its severity or show a higher number of signs, symptoms or new pathological changes, become widespread throughout the body or affect other organ systems. A medical treatment, such as drugs or surgery may produce adverse effects and/or produce new health problem(s) by itself. A new disease may also appear as a complication to a previous existing disease. Therefore, a complication may be iatrogenic, i.e., literally brought forth by the physician.
has gloss	eng: In medicine, people talk about complications if a disease or condition a patient has gets worse. This makes it more difficult (or more complicated, that is where the word is from) to treat. Some people are allergic to certain anesthetics; they will have an allergic shock. This makes surgery more difficult. People with osteoporosis may have their ribs or sternum broken when they undergo cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
lexicalization	eng: complication
subclass of	(noun) an impairment of health or a condition of abnormal functioning disease
