Maybe this is a stupid question, but here goes.
What is the difference between a diagnostic study and a prognostic
study? Is it that diagnostic study examines one of more factors that can
help identify an already existing condition whereas a prognostic study
examines one of more factors that can predict a future condition? Is it
that diagnosis is targeted towards something bad (disease) while
prognosis is targeted towards something good (recovery)? Or is it
something else?
