Overview
If left untreated, [#]% of patients with [disease name] may progress to develop [manifestation 1], [manifestation 2], and [manifestation 3].
OR
Common complications of [disease name] include [complication 1], [complication 2], and [complication 3].
OR
Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Radiation_Oncology/Toxicity/Esophagus
- The natural history of benign esophageal strictures started with gradual dysphagia to solid food and heartburn. [1] Sometimes there is no history of heartburn and reflux symtoms before diagnosis of esophageal stricture because of progression of fibrosis.
- e typical presentation of esophageal stricture includes the insidious and sometimes sudden occurrence of dysphagia to solid food with antecedent pyrosis. However, in up to 25% of cases there is no prior history of heartburn and other acid-related symptoms. In fact, some patients present a history in which reflux-related symptoms might even resolve over time secondary to progression of fibrosis and esophageal narrowing, only to return after therapeutic dilation.
- The symptoms of (disease name) usually develop in the first/ second/ third decade of life, and start with symptoms such as ___.[2]
- The symptoms of (disease name) typically develop ___ years after exposure to ___.
- If left untreated, patients with esophageal stricture may progress to develop pulmonary aspiration, weight loss, and dehydration.
- RBES resolution was achieved in only 22 of 70 (31.4%) patients. Two deaths (3%) were related to RBES. The success rate was lower in those who also were treated with endoprosthetics (odds ratio [OR] 3.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-18.0). The mean dysphagia-free period was 3.3 months (95% CI, 2.4-4.1) for patients treated with dilation and 2.4 months (95% CI, 1.2-3.6) for those treated with stents (P = .062). Over time, the total dysphagia-free period increased at a rate of 4.1 days (95% CI, 1.7-6.4) per dilation. There was no difference in the rate of change across groups defined by sex (P = .976), age (P = .633), or endoscopic treatment (P = .267).
Complications
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/etc.] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
- The presence of weight loss is associated with a particularly poor prognosis among patients with esophageal stricture.
- Loss of previous heartburn is associated with more esophageal stricture
- [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.
