Prognosis as a medical term used as a classification of a knowledgeable prediction of the anticipated course and outcome of a disease and the chances of recovery.

The classification of prognosis is:

  • excellent
  • good
  • fair
  • poor

The prognosis can differ from actual current condition. For example, a patient can be in critical condition after, say, abdominal surgery, but the surgeon anticipates a good prognosis once the patient gets through the first hours of post-op.
