(2) ECOG performance status

(3) platelet count

(4) serum LDH

Parameter	Finding	Points
history of smoking	no	0
	yes	1
ECOG PS	0	0
	1	2
platelet count	normal	0
	elevated	1
serum LDH	normal	0
	elevated	1

total score =

= SUM(points for all 4 parameters)

Interpretation:

• minimum score: 0

• maximum score: 5

• The higher the score the worse the prognosis.
