	Centre for Health Evidence
		Prognosis refers to the possible outcomes of a disease and the frequency with which they can be expected to occur (eg death in a patient with dementia).
		When comparing the prognosis of two groups of patients, investigators should consider whether their clinical characteristics are similar, and adjust the analysis for any differences they find.
		For example, in a study from Framingham which examined the prognosis of Q-wave versus non-Q-wave first myocardial infarction, the investigators adjusted for age, sex, and the presence of hypertension, angina pectoris, congestive heart failure, and cardiovascular disease prior to the infarct [11].

	Prognosis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prognosis (older Greek πρόγνωσις, modern Greek πρόγνωση - literally fore-knowing, foreseeing) is a medical term denoting the doctor's prediction of how a patient's disease will progress, and whether there is chance of recovery.
		Knowing the prognosis helps determine whether it makes more sense to attempt certain treatments or to withhold them, and thus plays an important role in end-of-life decisions.
		For the great 19th century physicians, particularly the French school, the main aim of medicine was not to cure disease, but rather to diagnose it and achieve a satisfying prognosis of the patient's chances.

	The Prophetic Art of Prognosis
		The customary role of prognosis in clinical trials has been to ensure that patients of similar illness severity are compared, as groups of patients with an equivalent average prognosis (e.g., for death) are formed by the randomization process.
		Prognosis is a fundamental, though implicit, basis for many theoretical and practical ethical decisions in medical care, and prognostic uncertainty may complicate such decisions considerably.
		Prognosis also profoundly affects decisions to initiate, withhold or terminate life support for critically ill newborns and adults, and it figures in the discussions about these decisions that doctors have with patients' families.

	Mesothelioma Cancer Symptoms and Treatment > The Standard for the Prognosis of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma
		A recent article in the Journal of Clinical Oncology reports that the current model for determining the prognosis for malignant pleural mesothelioma is a valid tool for determining high and low-risk patients for clinical trial participation.
		Prognosis depends on how early the cancer is found and how aggressively it is treated.
		The current model for determining the prognosis for MPM is known as the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Model (EORTC) and is used to predict survival in MPM.

		It's important to note that none of this is hard fact, and it doesn't apply to rapidly-progressive cases with extensive crescents on the biopsy.
		The amount of glomerulosclerosis (scarring of the glomeruli) at the time of biopsy may be an indicator of prognosis.
		It took the author of this website 25 years to reach the stage where dialysis was needed, after the first discovery of blood in the urine during a routine medical examination.

	Breast cancer prognosis
		The favorable prognosis of nonpalpable invasive carcinomas relative to palpable ones and of screening-detectedversus nonscreening-detected cancers is easily explained by their smaller size.
		The group concluded that operable breast cancers that were diploid, even up to a DNA index of 1.3, had a favorable prognosis compared with aneuploid tumors but that the advantage was small and tended not to survive as a prognostic determinant in multivariate analyses because of the correlation of ploidy with more powerful prognostic factors.
		Patients with an excellent prognosis include women with DCIS and women with negative axillary nodes whose invasive carcinomas are less than 1.0 cm in diameter or who have special histologic types of carcinoma less than 3.0 cm in diameter.

	Introduction to Evidence-Based Medicine
		Investigators making judgements about the clinical outcomes may have to be "blinded" to the patient characteristics and prognostic factors in order to eliminate possible bias in their observations.
		In comparing the prognosis of the 2 study groups, researchers should consider whether or not the patients clinical characteristics are similar.
		Prognosis of a disease refers to its possible outcomes and the likelihood that each one will occur.

	Multiple Sclerosis Prognosis
		In the Relapsing/Remitting subgroup, a longer first inter-attack interval was associated with a better prognosis; however, overall number of relapses in the first two years of the disease was of no prognostic value.
		The presence of OligoClonal Banding in the CerebroSpinal Fluid and a Cerebral MRI 'strongly suggestive' or 'suggestive' of MS in the early phases of the disease were associated with a higher probability of a worse outcome.
		Prognosis of the natural course of Multiple Sclerosis is most often measured on Kurtzke's Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), a non-linear scale over 20 steps, heavily weighted on mobility.

	Understanding Prognosis and Cancer Statistics - National Cancer Institute
		Many factors affect a person’s prognosis, including the type, location, and stage of the disease, as well as the person’s age, general health, and response to treatment.
		A prognosis gives an idea of the likely course and outcome of a disease—that is, the chance that a patient will recover or have a recurrence (return of the cancer).
		Some of the most important are the type and location of the cancer, the stage of the disease (the extent to which the cancer has metastasized, or spread), or its grade (how abnormal the cancer cells look and how quickly the cancer is likely to grow and spread).

		Several studies have shown that people who have few attacks in the first several years after diagnosis, long intervals between attacks, complete recovery from attacks, attacks that are sensory in nature (i.e., numbness, tingling, visual loss), and nearly normal neurological examinations after 5 years tend to do better.
