ePrognosis

eprognosis
A prognostic index is a clinical tool to aid in predicting the prognosis of a patient. Although many geriatric prognostic indices have been published, they may be difficult for busy clinicians to remember and use. The goal of ePrognosis is to be a repository of published geriatric prognostic indices where clinicians can go to obtain evidence-based information on patients’ prognosis.
