This Second Edition reverses the usual growth curve by reducing the number of chapters from 50 to 44, mainly by amalgamating the coverage of infectious diseases. The book has been completely reorganized so that chapters are now grouped by type of disorder. In a thorough updating, many chapters have been rewritten by different authors and two new chapters on medico-legal aspects and economic outcomes research have been added. As before, the book addresses the important clinical questions: what is the natural history of the disorder and how does medical or surgical treatment alter the outcome? The authors provide clinical prediction reules and a detailed critical review of prognositic factors. Patients and their families are increasingly demanding information on the prognosis of disease, and there is no better reference source for neurologists and neurosurgeons to use on a daily basis than this volume.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is an excellent, single reference book on neurological disorders from the viewpoint of prognosis. The second edition is necessary, considering the significant improvements in the management of diseases and the publication of numerous outcome studies since 1992, when the first edition was published. This book is a definate must-read not only for all neurologists and neurosurgeons but also all clinician who deal with prognosis in patients with neurologic disorders." --Doody's
"This book provides a new and necessary perspective of neurological disorders. It fills a niche in the clinical scope of practice." --Antonio Culebras, M.D., Professor of Neurology, Upstate Medical University
"a valuable addition to the library of anyone interested in outcomes in neurological disease."-- AMAMarch 2002
"...I thoroughly enjoyed this book... it represents a major contribution of practical, user-friendly scholarship principally for neurologists, but also perhaps for some psychiatrists and neurosurgeons and everyone with an eye on medicolegal matters...the outstanding feature of this book is the wide view the authors took of what might be covered under the title 'neurological disorders'...buy it for Christmas or birthday or just give yourself a well earned treat."--Brain, 2002
