Prognosis
Once bronchiectasis is established, prognosis worsens significantly. [patient.info]
With modern care and abstinence from smoking, the prognosis in the immotile cilia syndrome is good. The immotile cilia syndrome clearly is a genetically heterogeneous disease, although its clinical profile is fairly uniform. [ommbid.mhmedical.com]
Prognosis Except for mild cases or sectorial RP, most cases progress to legal blindness (visual acuity 1/20 and visual field 5 degrees). The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]
The treatment options vary greatly depending on the type of disease and its prognosis. Only in detailed discussion with the patient can the decision on the necessity and type of therapy be made jointly. [ern-lung.eu]
Incresed cardiothoracic ratio, LVEF less than 50% non thrombolysed patients and Ant Wall MI are poor prognosis factors in long term morbidity and mortality of AMI. [japi.org]

It is important to recognize the association and to question patients with retinitis pigmentosa about their respiratory functions, because an early diagnosis of PCD can prevent recurrent infections and development of bronchiectasis with daily physiotherapy [wwww.unboundmedicine.com]
Many genes participate in the construction of a cilium, and an error in any one of them will prevent the cilia from working properly. The inheritance in most cases is autosomal recessive. [ommbid.mhmedical.com]
