Expressing Prognosis
1. Provide a brief overview of one of the scenarios you played through.
2. Describe which of the five ways you would select to describe prognosis in this scenario and why (case-fatality, five-year survival, observed survival, median survival time, or relative survival).
3. Would you suggest a life-table approach or the Kaplan-Meier method for calculating observed survival over time? Why?
4. Include a current scholarly citation in addition to your textbook to support your answers.
