Prospective Validation of a Points Score System Predicting 30-day Survival

"This tool requires laboratory data including white blood cell count, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, blood urea nitrogen, bilirubin, albumin, lactate dehydrogenase, and red cell distribution, as well as number of attendances to the emergency room in the past 100 days, the site receiving radiation therapy, and the primary cancer type. Each data point correlates with a point value, which are tallied to generate a final score.~The scores range from 0-20, with 0 giving the highest chance for survival at 30 days and 20 giving the lowest chance for survival at 30 days"
