(1) Although many general practices have facilities for electrocardiography, the prognostic importance of common abnormalities is underappreciated.

(2) Ectopic beats during the test, however, had no prognostic importance.

(3) The effective management of ventilatory control abnormalities has important prognostic implications in the setting of both acute and chronic disease.

(4) The selection of systemic adjuvant therapy is based on prognostic and predictive factors.

(5) In earlier studies of the prognostic importance of ECG changes, sample sizes were small and the results were equivocal.

(6) Measurement of these variables can be obtained in most practices quickly and can provide the practicing clinician with powerful prognostic information.

(7) Patients suffering from such poor prognostic criteria often times will benefit from lung transplantation.

(8) Future developments are likely to modify the clinical manifestations, treatments, and prognostic factors of critical illness in patients with HIV infection.

(9) For instance, anatomic pathology prognostic data may be integrated with clinical laboratory serologic tumor markers that are graphically trended.

(10) Important negative prognostic factors in both conditions include patients older than 65 years, hypotension, and coma.

(11) Both patients and physicians are most interested in disease indicators that will best predict therapeutic responses and prognostic outcomes.

(12) At the initial assessment it is important to define factors that have prognostic importance.

(13) We found missed myocardial damage of prognostic importance in 6% of patients sent home from the emergency department.

(14) The number of lymph nodes with metastases also has prognostic importance.

(15) However, only one prognostic study of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality comparing home and office blood pressure measurements measurements has been conducted.

(16) Several of these molecular abnormalities have independent prognostic importance in the context of particular treatment regimens.

(17) The book describes each tumor in a comprehensive approach: morphologic description, differential diagnosis, clinical aspects, and prognostic markers.

(18) Finally, for failure to have some prognostic importance it should correlate with fatality, and we have shown that in these studies a correlation did not exist.

(19) It is probable that studies showing a strong (often statistically significant) prognostic ability are more likely to be published.

(20) Evaluation of changes in clinical and physiological variables over 6 and 12 months may provide clinicians with more accurate prognostic information than baseline values alone.
