Site-Specific Factor 4
Follicular Lymphoma Prognostic Index (FLIPI)
Notes
**Note 1:** The Follicular Lymphoma Prognostic Index (FLIPI) has been developed for follicular lymphomas and predicts outcome based on the following adverse factors: * Age greater than or equal to 60 years * Ann Arbor Stage III or IV * More than 4 nodal areas involved * Elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase LDH level * Serum hemoglobin concentration less than 12 grams/deciliter (g/dl) **Note 2:** Record the FLIPI as documented 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 three indices/scores associated with lymphoma: The International Prognostic Index (IPI, Site-Specific Factor 3), the Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI, Site-Specific Factor 4), and the International Prognostic Score (IPS) (for Hodgkin lymphomas, Site-Specific Factor 5). Physicians may use these indices/scores interchangeably. For coding: * Score identified: Value in appropriate SSF, 999 in other two SSFs; * Score not identified, point value 5 or less: 999 in all three SSFs; * Score not identified, point value 6 or 7: Value in SSF 5 (IPS), 999 in other two SSFs.Default
