Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS)

The Glasgow Prognostic Score is an inflammation-based prognostic system using serum CRP and albumin levels to predict survival across multiple cancer types.

Purpose:
Assess systemic inflammatory response as a prognostic indicator in cancer
Population:
Cancer patients (validated across multiple tumour types)
Factors:
C-reactive protein (CRP) >10 mg/L, Albumin <35 g/L
Reference:
McMillan, Cancer Treatment Reviews 2013

Glasgow Prognostic Score (Standard)

mg/L
g/L

Clinical Context & Background

The standard Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) combines C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin to assess systemic inflammation. It is a strong prognostic factor for survival in various advanced cancers. (Note: The Modified GPS is also available in this app).

Formula Logic
Score 0-2 based on CRP > 10 mg/L and Albumin < 35 g/L.
