CML Scoring Tool

Patients newly diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia have a different risk of progression of their disease. These risks are also called prognostic factors and thanks to a calculation based on different co-variates, such as age, spleen size, etc., a patient can be classified into one of the following 3 groups: High, Intermediate and Low risk group.
There are nowadays 2 scoring systems existing on the market:
• Sokal score
• Hasford score
These scores are not completely overlapping. The Hasford score is requiring more co-variates than the Sokal score what’s end in a more stringent classification.
Although the Sokal score is based on a very old-fashioned way, it is still quite widely used. The Hasford score seems, however, to be more specific and could therefore become the next standard.
This iPhone application is intended, after entering the different co-variates, to calculate both Sokal and Hasford risks in order to provide the physician with both scorings instantly.
