Determining the Cut-Off Value of the MASCC Score to Predict Mortality in Hospitalized Febrile Neutropenic Patients: A Decade-Long Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study
In this cohort study, we showed 30, 60 and 90-day mortality rates of hospitalized patients and determined the risk factors. We supported that the MASCC score was an independent risk factor for predicting mortality in hospitalized FN patients. We contributed to the literature by establishing a threshold value for the MASCC score, below 17, showing notably high sensitivity and specificity for predicting all-cause mortality in FN patients.
