Prognosis is a medical assessment of the likely course and outcome of a disease, describing how a patient's condition is expected to progress and the probability of recovery, stabilization, recurrence, or deterioration. It is based on the nature and stage of the disease, individual prognostic factors such as age, biomarkers, and comorbidities, and the patient's response to treatment. A prognosis guides clinical decision-making, helps tailor personalized treatment plans, and informs patients and families about what to anticipate. Prognostic information is often expressed in terms of survival rates, expected progression, or the likelihood of complications, and it can change as new clinical data emerge. Research in this field examines the indicators and tests that predict disease outcomes across many conditions. Work published by the journal has explored prognostic markers and grading in cancer, including analysis of clinical prognostic variables for triple-negative breast cancer histological grading and lymph-node metastasis, and a meta-analysis linking high tissue expression of miR-21 to poorer survival in esophageal cancer. Other studies have evaluated the prognostic value of microRNAs in hypertension and assessed how blood-count parameters relate to outcomes in idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to disease prognosis and prognostic factors.
