What is a "prognosis"?
A prognosis is a professional prediction about how a disease or medical condition is likely to progress and what the outcome might be. It is based on a patient’s current health, medical history, and test results. A prognosis helps guess how well a patient might recover, the potential for complications, and the overall future of their health.
Example
The doctor provided a favorable prognosis for the patient's recovery from pneumonia with prompt treatment.
Despite the grim prognosis, the patient remained hopeful and determined to fight the cancer.
The prognosis for patients with untreated tuberculosis can be poor if the infection spreads to vital organs.
