Prognostic assessment is a research area that involves predicting the future course or outcome of a disease or condition in individual patients. This can involve using various techniques such as statistical models, machine learning algorithms, or biomarkers to assess the likelihood of disease progression or recovery. Prognostic assessment is important for guiding treatment decisions, estimating patient survival, and overall improving patient outcomes. It can be used in a wide range of medical fields, including oncology, cardiology, and neurology.
