Notes
  • This calculator represents findings from the literature referenced below. It is important to understand that these findings may not be representative of the experience in your local healthcare system.

 
Equations used
 
NeutLymphRatio = NeutrophilCount / LymphocyteCount
PAWNNScore = AgeFactor + NeutLymphRatioFactor + PlatFactor + NeutFactor + WBCFactor

 

 
Calculation Details and Variables
  • AgeFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
    • If Age ≥70 yr, AgeFactor = 2
    • Else if Age ≥50 yr, AgeFactor = 1
    • Else AgeFactor = 0.
  • WBCFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
    • If WBC >9.5 x10^3/mcL, WBCFactor = 1
    • Else WBCFactor = 0.
  • NeutFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
    • If Neutrophil Count >6.3 x10^3/mcL, NeutFactor = 1
    • Else NeutFactor = 0.
  • PlatFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
    • If Platelets <100 x10^3/mcL, PlatFactor = 2
    • Else PlatFactor = 0.
  • The default NeutLymphRatioFactor is 0 points. If the Neut Lymph Ratio >4.06 the NeutLymphRatioFactor is assigned 6 points. Else if the Neut Lymph Ratio ≥2.22 and ≤4.06 the NeutLymphRatioFactor is assigned 2 points.
