Book Description
Medical Risks is the fruit of ten years' research into mortality patterns by age and time elapsed for a wide variety of medical conditions. It contains more detailed information on prognosis in specific impairments than can be found in any medical textbook. Indeed, it constitutes the largest compilation of evaluated data about prognosis according to age, sex, time elapsed, and other factors affecting mortality--notably for cancer, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, genitourinary disorders, endocrine and metabolic disorders, neurological and psychiatric disorders, overweight and underweight problems, and occupational and lifestyle hazards.
