Example

Age > 65 years
Yes
Cardiac insufficiency
Yes

Result: FFS-2011 2/5 — about 40% 5-year mortality.

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

Mortality
5-year mortality ≈ 9% at FFS 0, 21% at FFS 1, and 40% at FFS ≥ 2.

What you enter

  • Age > 65 years
  • Cardiac insufficiency
  • Gastrointestinal involvement
  • Renal insufficiency (creatinine ≥ 150 µmol/L)
  • Absence of ENT manifestations
How this is calculated
Factors
four poor-prognosis factors each +1 (age > 65, cardiac insufficiency, GI involvement, renal insufficiency) plus the favorable factor absence-of-ENT +1, total 0–5.
