Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Prognosis refers to the prediction of the possible course and outcome of a disease. It includes both judging the specific consequences of the disease (such as recovery, the appearance or disappearance of certain symptoms, signs, complications, and other abnormalities) and death. It also provides time cues, such as predicting the likelihood of a certain outcome occurring within a specific period. Since prognosis is a possibility, it primarily refers to patient populations rather than individuals.
