Description

The Pan-Immune-Inflammation Value (PIV) is a measure of immune-inflammatory biomarkers. It can help to identify patients with better or worse prognosis.


Parameters:

(1) absolute neutrophil count in 10^3 per µL

(2) platelet count in 10^3 per µL

(3) monocyte count in 10^3 per µL

(4) lymphocyte count in 10^3 per µL

 

PIV =

= (absolute neutrophil count) * (platelet count) * (monocyte count) / (lymphocyte count)

 

Interpretation:

• The cutoff in the study of Fuca et al was 390.

• A PIV above the cutoff is considered high.

• A high PIV is associated with a worse prognosis for a patient with metastatic cancer.
