Prognosis Ventilator dependence in the neonatal period is associated with a poor prognosis. Prognosis also depends on natural history and the patient’s response to therapy. [boneandspine.com]

Prognosis depends on whether defects are intrinsically or extrinsically derived. Extrinsically derived contractures carry an excellent prognosis, whereas intrinsically derived contractures carry a prognosis that depends on the etiology. [groups.yahoo.com]

The prognosis seems to be graver as the number of malformations increases. Infants with faciocardiomelic syndrome do not live for more than 3 weeks. [jmedsoc.org]

No teratogen has been detected in patients with this syndrome. [3] Its etiology must be searched for in some sort of fetal cell traumatism in the first few weeks of gestation. [jmedsoc.org]

Extrinsically derived contractures have a low recurrence risk, whereas the recurrence risk for intrinsically derived contractures depends on etiology. [groups.yahoo.com]
