LOINC description : The Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) is a tool used to measure a patient's functional
status. It can be used to compare the effectiveness of different therapies and to
help assess the prognosis of certain patients, such as those with certain cancers.
The KPS score ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores are associated with better functional
status, with 100 representing no symptoms or evidence of disease, and 0 representing
death [PMID: 23870327]. This panel contains LOINC terms to report the KPS score [LOINC:
89243-0] and its interpretation [LOINC: 89245-5].;
