88862-8

LOINC code 88862-8 identifies "Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation risk score interpretation EBMT". This term represents the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) cumulative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) risk score interpretation based on the following factors: the age of the patient, the stage of disease, the time from diagnosis, the donor type, and the donor recipient gender combination. The scores for the individual factors are added together to determine the overall likelihood of success of an HSCT. One study used the EBMT score interpretations and found the following 5-year survival rates: low risk patients had a 50% 5-year survival rate; intermediate risk patients had a 41% 5-year survival rate; poor risk patients had a 31% 5-year survival rate.[http://www.bloodjournal.org/content/126/23/3223]
