This website serves as a companion to the book “Prognosis Research in Healthcare: Concepts, Methods and Impact”

​

​

​

​

​

This website aims to provide:

 

• entry-level information for those interested in prognosis research methods and good practice

​​

• a framework to help you plan, carry out and evaluate prognosis research in healthcare

​

• guidance on prognosis research methods, including links to key papers and presentations

​​

• videos of recent talks & webinars from experts in the field, covering emerging topics, methods and controversies

​

• a catalogue of latest research articles, to help researchers keep up-to-date with new methodology

​

• links to training courses, summer schools and conferences in prognosis and prediction research 

​​

Our drive to improve prognosis research stems from the PROGRESS (PROGnosis RESearch Strategy) partnership. 

​

PROGRESS brought together a group of healthcare professionals, researchers and journal editors to develop a coherent framework for prognosis research. 

​

An introductory video can be found here. 

 

Key outputs of PROGRESS include:

​

• the PROGRESS framework for prognosis research, published in four linked papers in 2013 in the BMJ and PLOS Medicine covering: overall prognosis (PDF); prognostic factors (PDF); prognostic models (PDF); and predictors of treatment effect (PDF).    

​​

• published recommendations for improving transparency in prognosis research (PDF) 

​​

• our International Summer School: Prognosis Research in Healthcare which runs every year

​​

• our training course: Statistical Methods for Risk Prediction & Prognostic Models, which runs at least twice per year.

​​

• our textbook: Prognosis Research in Healthcare: concepts, methods and impact, with Oxford University Press

 

On this website, we disseminate the PROGRESS framework and good methodology standards, along with new and emerging methodology outputs, to encourage better prognosis & prediction research in practice.
