Comorbidity index for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Sorror).

This calculator needs JavaScript; the formula and its interpretation are in the text of this page.

An aid for clinicians; it does not replace clinical judgement, local protocols or the drug label. Double-check every result before prescribing.

Interpretation

In the original study, 2-year non-relapse mortality was about 14%, 21% and 41% for scores 0, 1–2 and 3 or more [1]. The index, with age (HCT-CI/age) and disease status, helps choose between myeloablative and reduced-intensity conditioning. Details in the transplant indications and conditioning lesson.

Use the definitions exactly

Each variable has a precise definition (e.g., lung function based on haemoglobin-corrected DLco); score from pre-transplant tests rather than clinical impression [1].
