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

  • If left untreated, patients with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis may recover fully or partially. Most of the bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis are symptomatic and may develop ventilatory failure. [1]

Complications

  • Common complications of diaphragmatic paralysis include:
    • Severe pulmonary dysfunction in bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis

Prognosis

  • Prognosis is generally excellent in unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis.[2]
  • 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 [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.
