A chart review was completed, identifying acute factors that may predict long-term sequelae.
Studies have shown that serum HBsAg quantification during, and at end of, treatment may predict long-term HBsAg loss.
Incomplete recovery increases the risk of relapse and may predict long-term outcome more accurately than baseline severity [ 7, 8].
Potentially, baseline markers as well as biological alterations in the tumour with brief therapy during a window of opportunity may predict long-term outcomes.
Endothelial dysfunction is a characteristic feature of atherosclerosis, and studies indicate that it may predict long-term disease progression, as well as the rates of cardiovascular events.
Recent studies indicate that tumour response in this setting may predict long-term outcome of patients on adjuvant endocrine therapy, which argues for its broader application in treating hormone receptor-positive disease.
However, the Exeter stem is designed to facilitate migration and this threshold may be inappropriate: high initial subsidence may not predict long-term failure of the Exeter stem (Huiskes et al. 1998, Alfaro-Adrian et al. 1999).
CGM use in the 1st month may help predict the likelihood of long-term benefit, and our results suggest that a trial of CGM use for several weeks may help predict long-term use and consequent benefit.
The assessment of treatment satisfaction can provide valuable information on patient adherence and thus may help predict long-term treatment outcomes (29).
58, 87, 88 Latent responses to ipilimumab have been described, and it has been proposed that early evaluation of patients treated with this agent using RECIST criteria may not predict long-term clinical benefit from the drug.
Results of their research, published in the Jan . 5 2011, issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, show that after about age 65, how fast we walk may predict how long we have to live.
