IPI Lymphoma Score

Enter five clinical factors to calculate the IPI score and five-year overall survival estimate for aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

For educational use only. Clinical decisions require evaluation by a qualified hematology/oncology specialist.

IPI Risk Factors

ECOG ≥ 2 = adverse factor (1 point)

> 1 extranodal site = adverse factor (1 point)

0–1 Low ~73%
2 Low-Intermediate ~51%
3 High-Intermediate ~43%
4–5 High ~26%

Summary

Enter five clinical factors to calculate the IPI score and five-year overall survival estimate for aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

How it works

  1. Enter the patient's age and select whether it exceeds 60 years.
  2. Indicate whether serum LDH is elevated above the institutional upper limit of normal.
  3. Select the ECOG performance status (0–4) — score ≥ 2 counts as an adverse factor.
  4. Choose the Ann Arbor stage — stage III or IV counts as an adverse factor.
  5. Enter the number of extranodal sites involved — more than one counts as an adverse factor.
  6. Click Calculate to see the IPI score, risk group, and five-year overall survival estimate.

Use cases

  • Stratify newly diagnosed aggressive NHL patients into risk groups before treatment planning.
  • Estimate five-year overall survival to guide goals-of-care conversations with patients and families.
  • Support eligibility assessment for clinical trials that use IPI as an inclusion criterion.
  • Benchmark individual patient risk against published cohort data.
  • Educate medical students, residents, and oncology fellows on lymphoma prognostication.
  • Communicate prognosis objectively between referring oncologists and tertiary hematology teams.
