Reflects systemic inflammation and nutrition.

When to use

Adjunct prognostic marker across many tumour types.

How it works

CRP ≤ 10 → 0; CRP > 10 with albumin ≥ 35 g/L → 1; CRP > 10 with albumin < 35 → 2.

Key points

  • Reflects systemic inflammation and nutrition.
  • Independently predicts cancer survival.
  • Albumin expressed in g/L (35 g/L = 3.5 g/dL).

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What are the limits and cautions when using Modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS)?
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 Modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) 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 Modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS) calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
Inputs: CRP 15 mg/L, Albumin 32 g/L → Result: mGPS 2 /2(Interpretation: Poor prognosis, Rule: CRP ≤ 10 → 0; CRP > 10 with albumin ≥ 35 → 1; CRP > 10 with albumin < 35 → 2.)
