🧬 FLIPI (Follicular Lymphoma IPI)
Prognosticate follicular lymphoma with the FLIPI index.
FLIPI (Follicular Lymphoma IPI)
Age ≥ 60
Ann Arbor stage III–IV
Haemoglobin < 12 g/dL
> 4 nodal areas
LDH > normal
When to use
Risk-stratify newly diagnosed follicular lymphoma.
How it works
One point each for age ≥ 60, stage III/IV, Hb < 12 g/dL, > 4 nodal areas, elevated LDH. 0–1 low, 2 intermediate, ≥ 3 high.
Key points
- Predicts overall survival across risk groups.
- FLIPI-2 is an alternative using different variables.
- Informs but does not dictate treatment timing.
