Performance Status (score)
(from wiki): In medicine (oncology and other fields), performance status is an attempt to quantify cancer patients' general well-being. This measure is used to determine whether they can receive chemotherapy, whether dose adjustment is necessary, and as a measure for the required intensity of palliative care. It is also used in oncological randomized controlled trials as a measure of quality of life.
