Abstract This chapter describes the prognostication of heart failure. Heart failure is a frequently progressive condition, although after commencing treatment patients usually reach a period of clinical ‘stability’, the duration of which varies between individuals.

The best predictive models of today can predict no more than 50% of the natural variability of the disease, despite the sophisticated mathematic analyses and the dozens of variables assessed. Clearly, a universe of still unknown prognostic factors remains to be discovered.

Dementia is a progressive, irreversible illness and leading global cause of death defined by cognitive and subsequent functional decline. Current treatments have limited impact on mortality. In this chapter, we discuss the trajectory of dementia and its variability, markers associated with poorer prognosis (such as poor nutrition, pneumonia, comorbid ...

Prognosticating is central to primary palliative care in neurology. Many neurologic diseases carry a high burden of troubling symptoms, and many individuals consider health states due to neurologic disease worse than death. Many patients and families report high levels of need for information at all disease stages, including information about prognosis.

Few studies have compared the prognostic value of scoring systems based on physical and blood parameters in terminally ill patients with cancer.This study evaluated the prognostic abilities of Palliative Prognostic Index (PPI), Laboratory Prognostic Score (LPS), and Palliative Prognostic Score (PaP).We included 989 terminally ill patients with cancer ...

Prognosticating survival in horses with colic is challenging because of the number of diseases and pathophysiologic processes that can cause the behavior. Although the treatment of horses with colic has improved dramatically over the years, case fatality can still be high because of the delay in recognizing the problem, the time delay inherent in ...

Recent advances in medical therapy, notably angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, β -adrenoreceptor antagonists, and aldosterone antagonists, as well as device therapy have improved that prognosis such that even in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) who are in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV, the annual mortality can be as ...

The relative importance of factors influencing prognosis and survival in the treatment of thymoma is still controversial. Fifty-three patients operated on for thymoma from 1966 to 1990 were evaluated, 14 with myasthenia gravis and 39 without. Survival was analyzed as it related to associated disease, gross invasion by the tumor and the predominant cell
