| Core Tip |
Karnofsky performance status (KPS) scale and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale are the most commonly used performance status (PS) tools worldwide for patients with cancer. Since the number of scoring points in each scale is different, these scales are not readily interconvertible. However, most clinical studies use only one of these two scales (either KPS or ECOG PS) to assess PS, rendering interpopulation comparisons difficult. In this study, we analyze the largest set of paired KPS-ECOG assessments to date in a cohort of lung cancer patients for a solution. |
