Abstract
There are many studies of outcome following an episode of shock or following the development of Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in patients requiring intensive therapy. This chapter will attempt to demonstrate the main principles of prognostic studies and give some results in these groups of patients.
