CS Site-Specific Factor 3
International Prognostic Index (IPI)
Notes
**Note 1**: The International Prognostic Index ( IPI) has been developed for lymphomas and predicts outcome based on the following adverse factors: * Age more than 60 years * Ann Arbor Stage III or IV * More than 1 extranodal site involved * Patient's performance status (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, ECOG) 2, 3, or 4 * Elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level **Note 2**: Record the IPI as stated in the medical record. Do not calculate points or assign risk. Only record points or risk if a physician has documented them. Use points over risk if both are available. **Note 3**: There are now two indices/scores associated with lymphoma: The International Prognostic Index (IPI, CS Site-Specific Factor 3) and the Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI, CS Site-Specific Factor 4). Physicians may use these indices/scores interchangeably. For coding: * Score identified: Value in appropriate CS SSF, 999 in other CS SSF * Score not identified, point value 5 or less: 999 in both CS SSFDefault
