Methodology · worked example, guidelines & full notes
Grades 0 (fully active) to 5 (dead).
When to use
Record functional status for follow-up comparison and trial screening.
How it works
0 fully active … 4 completely disabled, 5 dead. Approximate Karnofsky mapping is provided.
Key points
- Grades 0 (fully active) to 5 (dead).
- Scoring is subjective.
- Avoid grading from a single clinic impression.

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.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What are the limits and cautions when using ECOG Performance Status?
- For licensed clinicians and clinical researchers. Interpret results with history, investigations and local protocols; not a diagnosis or prescription, and not a substitute for multidisciplinary decision-making or local guidelines.
- Does ECOG Performance Status 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 ECOG Performance Status calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: Performance status 2 — Ambulatory, self-care, up > 50% of waking hours → Result: ECOG PS 2（≈ Karnofsky: ~50–60） Inputs: Performance status 0 — Fully active → Result: ECOG PS 0（≈ Karnofsky: ~90–100）
