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.
Examples
The doctor provided a favorable prognosis for the patient's recovery from pneumonia with prompt treatment.
