Collaborative Stage

Note 1: The International Prognostic Score (IPS) has been developed for Hodgkin lymphoma and predicts outcome based on the following adverse factors:
    Male sex
    Age 45 years or greater
    Ann Arbor Stage IV
    Serum albumin less than 4 grams/deciliter (g/dl)
    Hemoglobin concentration less than 10.5 g/dl
    White blood cell count greater than or equal to 15,000/cubic millimeter (mm)
    Lymphocytopenia, lymphocyte count less than 600/cubic mm or less than 8% of white cell count
Note 2: Record the IPS score as documented in the medical record. Do not calculate points. Only record points if a physician has documented them.
Note 3: There are now three indices/scores associated with lymphoma: The International Prognostic Index (IPI, CS Site-Specific Factor 3), the Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI, CS Site-Specific Factor 4) and the International Prognostic Score (for Hodgkin lymphomas, CS Site-Specific Factor 5.) Physicians may use these indices/scores interchangeably. For coding:
    Score identified: Value in appropriate CS SSF, 999 in other two CS SSF
    Score not identified, point value 5 or less: 999 in all three CS SSF
    Score not identified, point value 6or 7: Value in CS SSF 5 (IPS), 999 in other two CS SSF.
