DIPSS plus score for prognosis in myelofibrosis

  • This handy calculator computes the prognosis in myelofibrosis using Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS)‐plus. This scoring system comprises of eight risk variables.[1][2]

Check all boxes that apply to your patient:

DIPSS Plus Score for Prognosis in Myelofibrosis
Variable Score
Age >65 years 1
Constitutional symptoms 1
Hemoglobin <10 g/dL 1
Leucocyte count >25 x 10⁹/L 1
Circulating blasts ≥1% 1
Unfavourable karyotype (complex karyotype or abnormalities that include +8, -7/7q-, i(17q), inv(3), 5/5q-, 12p-, or 11q23 rearrangement) 1
Transfusion dependency 1
Platelet count <100 x 10⁹/L 1

Interpretation of DIPSS plus score

  • Score = 0: Low risk group; estimated median survival is approximately 15.4 years
  • Score = 1: Intermediate-1 risk group; estimated median survival is approximately 6.5 years
  • Score = 2 or 3: Intermediate-2 risk group; estimated median survival is approximately 2.9 years
