Treatment Self treatment : Most simple boils can be treated at home. Ideally, the treatment should begin as soon as a boil is noticed. Early treatment may prevent later complications. [naturallivingcenter.net]

The prognosis of the disease is usually good in patients that are correctly diagnosed and treated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The prognosis for patients diagnosed with Timothy syndrome is very poor. Of 17 children analyzed in one study, 10 died at an average age of 2.5 years. [en.wikipedia.org]

Identification of a pathogenic variant may assist with prognosis, clinical management, familial screening, and genetic counseling. [mayomedicallaboratories.com]

Large-scale epidemiologic studies have demonstrated an association between QTc prolongation and cardiac prognosis in patients with heart disease, though many studies lack appropriate adjustment for prior conditions. [nature.com]

However, it should be emphasised that the prognosis of patients with asymptomatic SQTS still remains undefined. [aerjournal.com]

The genetic epidemiology of both forms can vary with subpopulation depending on the allele, but as a whole, LQTS appears in every corner of the globe. [nature.com]
