Prognosis
"What we know is that early diagnosis may mean a better prognosis, because it means we can put some interventions in place early on," says Julianne Conry, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia who assesses children for FAS. [come-over.to]
When it is connected with fetal developmental deviations, the prognosis depends on the infant's general condition. [emedicine.medscape.com]
