Definition
•Natural History of a disease signifies the way in which a disease evolves over time from the earliest stage of its prepathogenesis phase to its termination as recovery,disability or death,in the absence of treatment or prevention.

Infectious period
the time during which the host can infect another susceptible host
•Non-infectious periodthe period when the host’s ability to transmit disease to other hosts ceases
•Incubation periodthe time interval between invasion by an infectious agent and appearance of the first sign or symptom of the disease in question
Latent period It is used in non-infectious diseases as the
equivalent of incubation period in infectious disease
-”Period from disease initiation to disease detection”
![Page 9: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Stages of Natural History of DiseaseThe natural history of disease can
be divided into two stages :
1. Pre-pathogenesis phase2. Pathogenesis phase
![Page 10: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. Pre-Pathogenesis Phase / Stage of susceptibility
In this stage, the disease has not developed but the ground has been laid by the presence of factors that favor its occurrence, for eg :1.Alcohol consumption for Cirrhosis of liver2.High Cholesterol, obesity, Type A personality:
Heart Disease3.Smoking, Hypertension, High Cholesterol :
Stroke4.Radiation, Smoking, Immune suppression:
Cancer
![Page 11: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pathogenesis phase
• 1. Asymptomatic (Early Pathogenesis) phase
• 2. Early, Discernible Disease • 3. Full-Blown (Classical) Disease • 4. Termination - a) Complete Recovery • b) Chronic Disease • c) Life With Residual
Disability • d) Death
![Page 12: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why is it important to study natural history of disease?• 1. For prevention of disease •2.Adjusting lead time & length bias
for proper implementation of screening program
• 2.Forecasting prognosis• 3. Evaluation of intervention
![Page 13: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Prevention
![Page 14: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Levels of prevention
• In general, there are mainly three major levels of prevention, depending on the phase of the natural history of the disease :
• 1. Primary prevention (also primordial prevention )
• 2. Secondary prevention• 3. Tertiary prevention
![Page 15: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Primary prevention seeks to prevent the onset of specific diseases via risk reduction:
• (a) by altering behaviors /exposures that can lead to disease,(eg : cessation of smoking ) or
• (b) by enhancing resistance to the effects of exposure to a disease agent (eg : Vaccination )
• It can be done by : (1) Health Promotion
(2) Specific protection
![Page 17: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Health Promotion• “The process of enabling people to
increase control over, and to improve health” (WHO)
It is not directed against any particular disease, but is intended to strengthen the host through a variety of approaches :
• 1.Health education• 2.Environmental modifications• 3.Nutritional intervention• 4.Lifestyle and behavioural changes
![Page 18: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
1) HEALTH EDUCATION : Most cost effective intervention. Now people have moved to behavior change communication.2) ENVIRONMENTAL MODIFICATION : # provision of safe water
#Installation of sanitary latrines #Control of insects & rodents etc
3)NUTRITIONAL INTERVENTIONS : # Food distribution & nutritional improvements of vulnarable groups ( viz. Mid-day meal in schools ,Khichri on Anganwadi etc ) etc4) LIFE STYLE & BEHAVIOURAL CHANGE : # motivation for healthy lifestyle

Specific protection• immunization to protect against specific diseases
• fortification of foods with specific nutrients (as salt with iodine),
• use of condoms to protect against STDs,
• use of chemoprophylactic drugs to protect against particular diseases (as malaria, meningococcal meningitis, etc)
![Page 20: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
#Primordial Prevention
• This is prevention of the emergence of risk factors in countries or population groups in which they haven't yet appeared.
• By “individual and mass education”• It addresses BROAD HEALTH DETERMINANTS rather than preventing personal exposure to risk factors, which is the goal of primary prevention.
![Page 21: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Contd ……
•Thus, outlawing alcohol in certain countries/areas would represent primordial prevention, whereas
•a campaign against drinking and would be an example of primary prevention.
![Page 22: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Secondary prevention
• It include all actions undertaken at the stage of early pathogenesis so as to halt the progress of disease at it’s earliest stage,
• It is done by “early diagnosis and prompt treatment”
• eg : Screening for Cancer/ treatment of Tuberculosis-early diagnosis & prompt treatment/Diagnosis & treatment of malaria
![Page 23: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Tertiary Prevention • It signifies interventions done in the late
pathogenesis phase.• “All measures available to reduce or limit
impairments and disabilities,minimise sufferings caused be existing departures from good health and to promote the patient’s adjustment to irremediable conditions” ( Last,, A Dictionary of Epidemiology )
• It can be attained by : a) Disability limitation & b) Rehabilitation
![Page 24: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Disability limitation (impairment/disability/handicap)• Impairment is defined as "any loss or
abnormality of psychological, physiological, or anatomical structure or function."
• Impairment is a deviation from normal organ function; it may be visible or invisible (screening tests generally seek to identify impairments).
![Page 25: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Disability is defined as "any restriction or lack (resulting from an impairment) of ability to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being."
• An impairment does not necessarily lead to a disability, for the impairment may be corrected.
• For example, I am wearing eye glasses, but do not perceive that any disability arises from my impaired vision. A disability refers to the function of the individual (rather than of an organ, as with impairment).
![Page 26: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Handicap is defined as "a disadvantage for a given individual, resulting from an impairment or a disability, that limits or prevents the fulfillment of a role that is normal (depending on age, sex, and social and cultural factors) for that individual."
• Handicap considers the person's participation in their social context.
• For example, if there is a wheel-chair access ramp at work, a disabled person may not be handicapped in coming to work there
![Page 27: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Contd…• Disability limitation includes all measures
to prevent the occurrence of further complications, impairments, disabilities and handicaps or even death. For example :
• When we apply plaster cast to a patient who has suffered Colle’s fracture, we are actually trying to prevent complications and further disability like mal-union or non-union (4)
![Page 29: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Rehabilitation• “Rehabilitation” (Re =restore into, habitat
= the original home or environment of the person)
• “The combined and coordinated use of medical,social,educational and vocational measures for training and retraining the individual to the highest possible level of functional ability”
• It includes Physiotherapy,speech therapy,audiology,psychology, vocational work etc
![Page 30: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Rehabilitation contd…• The following areas of concern have been
identified :• 1)Medical rehabilitation – restoration of
function• 2)Vocational rehabilitation- restoration of
the capacity to earn a livelihood• 3)Social rehabilitation –restoration of family
& social relationships• 4)Psychological rehabilitation –restoration
of personal dignity and confidence

Examples of rehabilitation
•Establishing schools for the blind,•provision of aids for the crippled, •reconstructive surgery in leprosy,•change of profession for a more suitable one etc

How do we conclude – the screening program is effective?
• We need to know the natural history of the disease
• for evaluating the Lead time & Length time bias
![Page 39: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Prognosis: How much time do I have doc???

•Prognosis is the prediction of the course of a disease
and •is expressed as the probability that a particular event will occur in the future
![Page 41: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Prognosis contd …..• Predictions are based on defined groups of
patients and the outcome may be quite different for the individual patients
• However, knowledge of the likely prognosis is helpful in determining the most useful treatment.
• Prognostic factors are characteristics associated with outcome in patients with the disease in question.
• For example, for a patient with AMI, the prognosis is directly related to heart muscle function.
![Page 42: Natural History Of Diseases and Levels of Prevention By : Sourav Goswami Moderator : Dr P R Deshmukh.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062719/56649ec75503460f94bd40ab/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Rates commonly used to describe PrognosisRate Definition5 year survival Percent of patients surviving 5 years
from some point in the course of disease
Case fatality Percent of patients with a disease who die of it
Disease-specific mortality
Number of people per 10,000 (or 100,000) population dying of specific disease
Response Percent of patients showing some evidence of improvement following an intervention
Remission Percent of patients entering a phase in which disease is no longer detectable
Recurrence Percent of patients who have return of disease after a disease free interval

• 3) is there any problems with its implementation and support, and
• 4)whether there are any ongoing concerns that need to be resolved as the programme is implemented.
• 5)It helps in Comparing intervention modalities
