Collaborative Stage

Note 1: The IPS has been developed for Hodgkin lymphoma and predicts outcome based on the following adverse factors:
    Male sex
    Age more than or equal to 45 years
    Stage IV disease
    Serum albumin less than 4g/dL
    Hemoglobin concentration less than 10.5 g/dl
    White blood cell count more than or equal to 15,000 mm
    Lymphocytopenia less than 600/mm (8%)
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/score associated with Lymphoma: The International Prognostic Index (IPI, SSF3): the Folliucular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI, SSF4) and the International Prognostic Score (for Hodgkin lymphomas, SSF5.) Physicians may use these indices/scores interchangeably. If the point value and the index/score is documented, code the appropriate SSF and the other two SSF's as 999. If a point value of 5 or less is documented, but there is no documentation for which index/score was used, code 999 for all three SSF's. If the point value is 6 or 7, code SSF5 (IPS).
