- Abstract
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group / World Health Organization Performance Status (ECOG/WHOPS) is a prognostic factor. It should be used in analyzing health outcomes such as risk-adjusted hospital performance models in cancer populations. Performance status is rarely recorded in surgery, often the place where cancer is first diagnosed. Could a universally collected pre-operative measure be substituted for ECOG/WHOPS?
