Worked calculation

The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.

LDH > upper limit of normalNo (0)
ECOG performance status >1No (0)

Frequently asked questions

Does CNS-IPI (CNS Relapse Risk in DLBCL) upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
How is CNS-IPI (CNS Relapse Risk in DLBCL) calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
Inputs: Age >60 years No (0), LDH > upper limit of normal No (0), ECOG performance status >1 No (0), Ann Arbor stage III/IV No (0), Extranodal involvement >1 site No (0), Kidney and/or adrenal involvement No (0) → Result: CNS-IPI 0 /6(Risk group: Low (0–1) — derivation CNS relapse ~0.6%) Inputs: Age >60 years Yes (+1), LDH > upper limit of normal Yes (+1), ECOG performance status >1 Yes (+1), Ann Arbor stage III/IV Yes (+1), Extranodal involvement >1 site Yes (+1), Kidney and/or adrenal involvement Yes (+1) → Result: CNS-IPI 6 /6(Risk group: High (4–6) — ~10.2%; discuss CNS prophylaxis strategy)
