A survey was conducted to get to know the ‘state of the art’ in trend prediction as a basis for optimal therapy, with emphasis on research being done in the countries of the European Community. Special areas of interest are quantitative prognosis (prognostic indices), the detection and use of trends in the patient's state, the use of models in prediction and their possible use for deciding which therapy is optimal for a specific patient. An extensive list of centres working in these fields as well as an extensive reference list is included. |
