Abstract Background: Objective Prognostic Score (OPS) was developed as an easy and simple prognosticating tool in South Korea. It has been validated retrospectively in a single center in South Korea. Objective: We aimed to validate the OPS prospectively for advanced cancer inpatients in South Korea using a multicenter study. Design: This was a prospective cohort study.

Measurements: Clinical variables (dyspnea/anorexia/performance status) and laboratory variables (total leukocyte counts/serum total bilirubin/serum creatinine/lactate dehydrogenase) were collected at the enrollment. Survival time was calculated as days from enrollment to death during admission. Results: A total of 217 patients were included in the final analysis (feasibility: 89.3%). Su...
