Performance Scales: Karnofsky & ECOG Scores. Able to carry on normal activities. Minor signs or symptoms of disease. Care for self. Unable to carry on normal activity or to do active work. Ambulatory and capable of all selfcare but unable to carry out any work activities. Up and about more than 50% of waking hours. Background. The Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) is a widely used method to assess the functional status of a patient. It was introduced by David A. Karnofsky and Joseph H. Burchenal in 1949 in an article originally published as a chapter of the book Evaluation of Chemotherapeutic Agents, edited by Colin M. MacLeod [].This book summarized the results of a symposium in New York in 1948, and Multiple scales have been developed to quantify performance status of patients with cancer, of which the most commonly used are the Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS), which was published in 1948 , and the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG‐PS), first described in 1982 . The table below displays one commonly used comparison. ECOG PERFORMANCE STATUS. KARNOFSKY PERFORMANCE STATUS. 0—Fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction. 100—Normal, no complaints; no evidence of disease. 90—Able to carry on normal activity; minor signs or symptoms of disease. There is no consensus regarding the equivalence of performance status between the Karnofsky (KPS) and the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scales. In the present study KPS and ECOG scores were compared in 150 consecutive cancer patients. An empirical relation was established through regress … Appendix D. Karnofsky Performance Score; Appendix E.
