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) (**Site-Specific Factor 3**) * The Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI) (**Site-Specific Factor 4**). Physicians may use these indices/scores interchangeably. For coding * Score identified: Value in appropriate SSF, 999 in other SSF * Score not identified, point value 5 or less: 999 in both SSF
