Significance of Prognostic value
Prognostic value encompasses the ability of various tests, measurements, or factors to predict health outcomes across different medical conditions. This includes the significance of admission laboratory parameters in traumatic brain injury, gene expressions in cancer predictions, and biomarkers such as IGF1R in lung cancer prognosis. The concept involves assessing the effectiveness of grading systems, specific measures, or models in reliably forecasting outcomes like survival or disease progression in various cancers, traumatic conditions, and other health disorders.

The concept of Prognostic value in scientific sources
Prognostic value assesses the predictive capability of biomarkers and models for patient outcomes, exemplified by IGF1R expression in lung cancer and factors affecting health outcomes in conditions like Dandy-Walker malformation.

(1) This is the ability to predict the outcome, and in the study, no concrete prognostication can be based on IONM pre-, intra, and post-operatively.[1] (2) TATE had no prognostic value in OSCC, and intense TATE seems to reflect the stromal invasion of the OSCCs, which occurs in advanced clinical stage.[2] (3) This refers to the ability of a factor, such as gene expression, to predict the outcome of a disease, and LHX5 has been reported to have this in breast cancer.[3] (4) The ability of a factor or test result to predict the likely outcome or course of a disease, such as the use of ISS or R-ISS in assessing myeloma patients.[4] (5) This phrase describes the usefulness of dreams in predicting the course and outcome of psychiatric disorders, especially mood disorders.[5]
