 | | 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. | | | Sometimes the characteristics of a particular patient can be used to more accurately predict that patient's eventual outcome (eg a patient with dementia and behavioral problems may have a worse prognosis than someone without behavioral problems). | | | On the other hand, a prognostic result of uniformly bad prognosis provides the clinician with a starting place for a discussion with the patient and family, leading to counselling about end-of-life concerns. |

| | 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. | | | Because no treatment is available for the condition, this is an example of the phenomenon of the complementary relationship between therapy and prognosis, in that the prognostic significance of these tests eclipses their therapeutic utility. |

| | CFS-Information International prognosis |
| | The question of the prognosis is complicated by the fact, that psychiatric oriented researchers "dilute" their CFS patient material with patients, who do not fulfil the established CDC (Fukuda et al., 1994) criteria. | | | Natelson's group in New Jersey studied the prognosis of the most sick CFS patients and this was not encouraging news, | | | A 9 year follow-up study on 177 responding patients indicated recovery in only 12% of the patients, and support previous research that complete recovery from CFS is rare and that patients with less severe illness at the initial clinic visit are more likely to have a positive prognosis for recovery. |
