  2. Five-year survival rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-year_survival_rate

    The five-year survival rate is a type of survival rate for estimating the prognosis of a particular disease, normally calculated from the point of diagnosis. [1] Lead time bias from earlier diagnosis can affect interpretation of the five-year survival rate.

  3. Survival rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_rate

    Doctors often use mean overall survival rates to estimate the patient's prognosis. This is often expressed over standard time periods, like one, five, and ten years. For example, prostate cancer has a much higher one-year overall survival rate than pancreatic cancer, and thus has a better prognosis.

  4. Kaplan–Meier estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaplan–Meier_estimator

    An example of a Kaplan–Meier plot for two conditions associated with patient survival. The Kaplan–Meier estimator, [1] [2] also known as the product limit estimator, is a non-parametric statistic used to estimate the survival function from lifetime data.

  5. Clinical prediction rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_prediction_rule

    In a prediction rule study, investigators identify a consecutive group of patients who are suspected of having a specific disease or outcome. The investigators then obtain a standard set of clinical observations on each patient and a test or clinical follow-up to define the true state of the patient.

  6. Prognosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prognosis

    Prognosis (Greek: πρόγνωσις "fore-knowing, foreseeing"; pl.: prognoses) is a medical term for predicting the likelihood or expected development of a disease, including whether the signs and symptoms will improve or worsen (and how quickly) or remain stable over time; expectations of quality of life, such as the ability to carry out daily activities; the potential for complications and ...

  7. International Prognostic Index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Prognostic_Index

    The International Prognostic Index (IPI) is a clinical tool developed by oncologists to aid in predicting the prognosis of patients with aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Previous to IPI's development, the primary consideration in assessing prognosis was the Ann Arbor stage alone, but this was increasingly found to be an inadequate means of ...

  8. Baux score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baux_score

    Studies have shown Baux score to be effective in measuring comparative severity of burn injuries, and in predicting the prognosis for the patient. The modified version, which includes inhalation injuries, is more accurate than the original method, although neither method is as accurate as more complex calculated scores using advanced computer ...

  9. Immunoscore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoscore

    The Immunoscore is a method to estimate the prognosis of cancer patients, based on the immune cells that infiltrate cancer and surround it. The Immunoscore has been internationally validated in colorectal cancer [1] and provides better prognostic information than the current staging system, TNM.
