Table 4.
Proposed clinical risk prediction score for a 30-day all-cause mortality in patients with febrile neutropenia.
| Predictors | Score | |
|---|---|---|
| The patient has anemia (hemoglobin concentration < 8 g/dL) at the onset of febrile neutropenia. | Yes | 1.5 |
| No | 0 | |
| The patient develops septic shock during neutropenia. | Yes | 1.5 |
| No | 0 | |
| The patient develops acute kidney injury during neutropenia. | Yes | 2.0 |
| No | 0 | |
| The patient develops respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilators. | Yes | 2.0 |
| No | 0 | |
*The patient will be classified as high-risk for mortality (score ≥ 3.5) or low-risk for mortality (score < 3.5).
