Methodology · worked example, guidelines & full notes
≥ 21 may permit outpatient oral therapy in selected patients.
When to use
Decide on outpatient versus inpatient management.
How it works
Weighted items (burden of illness, no hypotension, no COPD, tumour type, hydration, outpatient status, age) up to 26. ≥ 21 = low risk.
Key points
- ≥ 21 may permit outpatient oral therapy in selected patients.
- Apply alongside social and clinical criteria.
- Never override clinical concern.

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.
| Burden of illness | Moderate (3) |
|---|---|
| No hypotension (SBP > 90) | No |
| No COPD | No |
| Solid tumour or no prior fungal infection | No |
| No dehydration needing IV fluids | No |
| Outpatient at fever onset | No |
| Age < 60 | No |
→MASCC3/26
- Risk：< 21 — high risk; admit for IV antibiotics.
| Burden of illness | None/mild (5) |
|---|---|
| No hypotension (SBP > 90) | No |
| No COPD | No |
| Solid tumour or no prior fungal infection | No |
| No dehydration needing IV fluids | No |

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does MASCC Score (Febrile Neutropenia Risk) 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 MASCC Score (Febrile Neutropenia Risk) calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: Burden of illness Moderate (3), No hypotension (SBP > 90) No, No COPD No, Solid tumour or no prior fungal infection No, No dehydration needing IV fluids No, Outpatient at fever onset No, Age < 60 No → Result: MASCC 3 /26（Risk: < 21 — high risk; admit for IV antibiotics.） Inputs: Burden of illness None/mild (5), No hypotension (SBP > 90) No, No COPD No, Solid tumour or no prior fungal infection No, No dehydration needing IV fluids No, Outpatient at fever onset No, Age < 60 No → Result: MASCC 5 /26（Risk: < 21 — high risk; admit for IV antibiotics.）
