Welcome to prognosisresearch.com
aiming to improve prognosis & prediction research in healthcare
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.
