We are dusting off our crystal balls today with three amazing guests who have all recently published an article on prognosis over the last couple months: Kara Bischoff, James Deardorff, and Elizabeth Lilley.

To start us off we talk with Kara Bischoff about the article she just published in JAMA Network on a re-validation of the Palliative Performance Scale (PPS) in a modern day palliative care setting. Why do this? The PPS is one of the most widely used prognostic tools for seriously ill patients, but the prognostic estimates given by the PPS are based on data that is well over a decade old. ePrognosis now includes the modern validation of the PPS.

Next, we talk with James Deardorff about whether we can accurately predict nursing home level of care in community-dwelling older adults with dementia. Spoiler alert, he published a study in JAMA IM on a prognostic index that does exactly that (which is also on eprognosis.org)

Lastly, we invite Liz Lilley to talk about her paper in Annals of Surgery about prognostic allignment, including why as palliative care and geriatrics teams we need to take time to ensure that all disciplines and specialities are prognostically aligned before a family meeting.
