Comparison of seven comorbidity scores on four-month survival of lung cancer patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The comorbidity burden has a negative impact on lung-cancer survival. Several comorbidity scores have been described and are currently used. The current challenge is to select the comorbidity score that best reflects their impact on survival. Here, we compared seven usable comorbidity scores (Charlson Comorbidity Index, Age adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index, Charlson Comorbidity Index adapted to lung cancer, National Cancer Institute combined index, National Cancer Institute combined index adapted to lung cancer, Elixhauser score, and Elixhauser adapted to lung cancer) with coded administrative data according to the tenth revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems to select the best prognostic index for predicting f
