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 greater than or equal to 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 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)
- 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
