What Is Prognosis?

"Prognosis" refers to the anticipated course and outcome of a disease or condition. It’s an estimate given by medical professionals based on a patient's diagnosis, overall health, age, medical history, and the typical progression of similar cases.

The prognosis can include predictions about:

1. Likelihood of Recovery: How likely it is that a patient will fully recover, partially recover, or see improvement over time.
2. Disease Progression: The expected rate at which symptoms may worsen or improve.
3. Survival Rates: In serious cases, prognosis might include statistical predictions about survival time, often expressed in terms like "5-year survival rate."
4. Life Quality: Potential impacts on the patient's quality of life due to the illness or its treatment.

Doctors usually base prognoses on statistical data from similar cases, but every patient is unique, so the prognosis can vary widely.
