Examination of the patient ends with a diagnosis: a medical opinion on the nature and individual manifestation of the disease or pathological condition expressed in terms accepted in modern medical terminologies and classifications.
The prognosis of a disease is the prediction of the occurrence, development, and outcome based on knowledge of the patterns of pathological processes and the course of diseases. The prognosis of the disease can be favorable (good), doubtful, or unfavorable (bad). In its form, this is a forecast of the course of the illness and the dynamics of the diagnosis for the future.
