Overview

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Natural History

  • In infants born to thiamine-deficient mothers, the symptoms may start as early as one month of age.
  • The hepatic stores of thiamine last for only 18 days. Lack or deficient consumption leads to gradual appearance of manifestations.
  • If left untreated, patients with beriberi may progress to develop heart failure, limb paresis, and delirium. However, thiamine treatment is highly effective and leads to rapid improvements.

Complications

  • Common complications of Beriberi include:
    • [Complication 1]
    • [Complication 2]
    • [Complication 3]

Prognosis

  • Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [--]%.
  • Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
  • The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
  • [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
  • The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.
