CNS-IPI (Central Nervous System International Prognostic Index)

Description

Calculates the CNS-IPI score to predict the risk of CNS relapse in patients with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) treated with R-CHOP. The score uses the five standard IPI factors plus specific involvement of the kidneys or adrenal glands.

Usage

cns_ipi_score(age, ldh_elevated, ecog_gt_1, stage_iii_iv,
              extranodal_gt_1, kidney_adrenal_involvement)

Arguments

age	Numeric. Patient age in years. (> 60 years adds +1 point).
ldh_elevated	Numeric (0 or 1). Serum LDH level > Normal. (1 = Yes, +1 point).
ecog_gt_1	Numeric (0 or 1). ECOG Performance Status > 1. (1 = Yes, +1 point).
stage_iii_iv	Numeric (0 or 1). Ann Arbor Stage III or IV. (1 = Yes, +1 point).
extranodal_gt_1	Numeric (0 or 1). Involvement of > 1 extranodal site. (1 = Yes, +1 point).
kidney_adrenal_involvement	Numeric (0 or 1). Involvement of kidney and/or adrenal glands. (1 = Yes, +1 point).

Value

A list containing:

CNS_IPI_Score	The calculated score (Range 0-6).
Risk_Group	Classification (Low 0-1, Intermediate 2-3, High 4-6).
Est_2yr_CNS_Relapse_Risk	Estimated 2-year risk of CNS relapse.

Examples

# Example 1: High Risk
# 65yo (+1), LDH High (+1), Stage IV (+1), >1 Extranodal (+1), Kidney Inv (+1)
# Score = 5
cns_ipi_score(65, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1)

# Example 2: Low Risk
# 50yo, Normal LDH, Stage II, No extranodal, No kidney/adrenal
# Score = 0
cns_ipi_score(50, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0)
