Utility of the Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) Risk Index Score as a Criterion for Nonadmission in Febrile Neutropenic Patients with Solid Tumors.
نویسنده
چکیده
Febrile neutropenic episodes in patients with solid tumors were identified electronically from 10/1/2008 to 11/15/2010. Inclusion criteria were met in 198 episodes. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of the MASCC risk index score vs complications were, respectively, 94%, 29.6%, 57.7%, and 82.9%. An MASCC risk index score of 21 or greater could not be used as a criterion for "no complication/ do not admit." Inability to eat should be an admission criterion.

DOI: 10.5581/1516-8484.20130002 The management of neutropenia is a challenge in the clinical practice.
