A numerical prognostic index for clinical use in identification of poor-risk patients with Hodgkin's disease at diagnosis

Prediction Model for Disease Progression and Relevant Prognostic Factors in Hodgkin Patients: An Application of Frailty Multistate Model

“…According to the present study, a lower level of hemoglobin was an unfavorable factor for Hodgkin's disease. This finding was consistent with that of other studies (24,(38)(39)(40)(41)(42). In other words, anemia (hemoglobin<10.5) was considered an adverse prognostic factor for overall survival (43).…”

Outcome of a risk-related therapeutic strategy used prospectively in a population-based study of Hodgkin's lymphoma in adolescents

“…Several studies, including the small cohort investigated in the present series, have failed to demonstrate a survival difference between patients with NLPHL and those with other forms of the disease (Proctor et al, 1991;Weiner et al, 1991;Hunger et al, 1994). It seems unlikely that inclusion or exclusion of this small proportion of patients from the studies outlined in Table 3 would have a significant impact on overall results.…”

Implementing clinical governance in the united kingdom: the role of a regional haematology group

“…One example of the PACE approach is the development of the management of patients with Hodgkin's disease. Observational data from the disease register was used to create a prognostic index (Proctor et al , 1991) which was then validated prospectively (Proctor et al , 1992). Since 1988 the prognostic index has become the basis for treatment selection.…”
