Joly et al identified risk factors associated with 1 year survival in patients with bullous pemphigoid. These can help identify patients who may require more aggressive management. The authors are from multiple hospitals in France.
Parameters:
(1) age of the patient in years
(2) Karnofsky performance scale
Karnofsky Performance Scale
Age of the Patient
Probability of Survival at 1 Year
> 40
<= 83 years of age
90%
> 40
> 83 years of age
79%
<= 40
<= 83 years of age
65%
<= 40
> 83 years of age
38%
NOTE: The factors studied are a subset of those used in the previous section.
