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
- If left untreated, patients with respiratory failure may progress to develop sepsis and multiple organ failure which increases mortality.[1]
Complications
- Pulmonary complications of respiratory failure include:[2]
- Pulmonary emboli
- Barotrauma
- Fibrosis
- Pneumonia
- Extra-pulmonary complications of respiratory failure include:[2]
- Gastrointestinal hemorrhage
- Renal failure
- Infection
- Thrombocytopenia
Prognosis
- The resolution of pulmonary edema and inflammation are important for determining the recovery from lung injury.[3]
- Long term prognosis of patients with respiratory failure depends on the severity of underlying disease.
- Recovery of pulmonary function is variable and determined by the severity of the acute episode.
- Acute respiratory failure has a poor prognosis when there is an underlying hematologic malignancy.
