Abstract
Prognosis is one of three traditional roles of clinicians, along with diagnosis and therapy. Prognostication—predicting and communicating about what to expect—plays a major, if overlooked, role in the day-to-day practice of both obstetricians and neonatologists. This article describes several challenges in formulating an evidence-based prognosis that practicing clinicians may find helpful to consider in their practice.
