System and method for dynamic determination of disease prognosis
First Claim
1. A method for determining a value for a prognosis parameter in real time, comprising:
- obtaining current condition related information about a patient;
identifying appropriate predictor variables;
inputting the condition related information associated with the appropriate predictor variables into a prediction model;
calculating a value for a prognosis parameter.

Abstract
A method of obtaining and processing patient data and patient treatment data to provide a prognosis parameter related to a patient'"'"'s disease state is provided. The method identifies and calculates coefficients related to appropriate predictor variables which are then used by the prediction model to calculate the prognosis parameter. The prediction model may be a logistic regression model. The method may also be used to assess the level of care being provided to patients, as well as providing a way of assessing the outcome of the patient'"'"'s condition as a function of treatment. A method of calculating a harm index reflective of the risk of treatment is also provided.
