Treatment and prognosis Optimal treatment of beriberi relies upon a two-pronged approach: thiamine supplementation supportive therapies e.g. cardiac support Recovery is often rapid once thiamine supplements are started.[radiopaedia.org]
Prognosis The prognosis for beriberi is usually good, unless patients have established Korsakoff syndrome. When patients have progressed to this stage, the degree of damage is only minimally reversible.[namrata.co]
Prognosis Mortality is rare and is usually associated with the wet form due to cardiac failure. [ 26 ] Morbidity is also rare and usually presents in the dry form with neurological symptoms.[patient.info]
Prognosis Beriberi is fatal if not treated and the longer the deficiency exists, the sicker the person becomes.[encyclopedia.com]
If patients with alcoholic cardiomyopathy do not abstain from alcohol, they have a poorer prognosis and significantly higher mortality rates compared with those who do abstain. The 4-year mortality can be as high as 50% [ 2, 13 ].[oapublishinglondon.com]
The nature of the disorder, certain symptoms of which started in infancy, was such that it strongly indicated a metabolic rather than a nutritional etiology, involving energy metabolism.[link.springer.com]

In lactic acidosis and/or hyperdynamic circulation without any other apparent etiology in patients with possible vitamin B1 deficiency, the diagnosis of BB must be considered and thiamine should be administered.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology In general, those individuals with a poor diet are most likely to develop thiamine deficiency.[radiopaedia.org]
