Abstract
A predictor of medical treatment outcome is developed and applied. A prognosis model is developed from literature. The model is determined by reverse engineering the literature reported quantities. A relationship of a given variable to a treatment outcome is derived from the literature. A processor may then use individual patient values for one or more variables to predict outcome. The accuracy may be increased by including a data driven model in combination with the literature driven model.
