Our treatment outcomes

Every patient who starts a treatment program at St. George Hospital is assessed before the first therapy session. Depending on the condition, the baseline combines validated symptom scores, laboratory markers from the hospital's own laboratory, and imaging or specialist findings. The same measurements are repeated during the stay, at discharge and in follow-up contact after you are home. Diagnostics lists the baseline tests.

Patient-reported measures sit alongside the laboratory data. Fatigue, pain, cognition and daily function are recorded with the same questionnaires at each point. Patients with the same diagnosis arrive with different histories and leave with different results, and the record shows each course separately.

We are consolidating these records into one internal outcome registry. Until it is complete, we publish no percentages, no response rates and no individual stories; any figure published later will come from this method. Where published research supports a therapy, it is cited and graded on the therapy page.

The two numbers we do publish, more than 12,000 Lyme patients since 1995 and more than 30,000 whole-body hyperthermia sessions, are counts of patients and sessions, not results. Some of the therapies named above lie outside standard care; they are individual treatment attempts decided with the patient after medical consultation.

Which measurements apply in your case, and what a realistic course looks like, are discussed in the video consultation and written into your treatment plan.
