| Abstract | Accurate risk stratification is necessary for epidemiologic and outcomes research in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We evaluated performance characteristics of the clinically derived International Prognostic Index (IPI) and revised IPI (R-IPI) with a regression model-based score using the National Cancer Data Base.We studied DLBCL patients diagnosed in 2004–2011, divided into derivation and validation cohorts. The model-based score was calculated from a Cox model incorporating variables routinely recorded by cancer registries. Calibration and discrimination of the indices with regard to overall survival were evaluated in the validation cohort.The IPI was recorded in 19,511 of 119,942 patients, of whom 79 % received chemotherapy. Both clinical indices provided good survival discrimination (5-year estimate range 33–74 % for the IPI, and 41–87 % for the R-IPI), but explained only 16 % of variation in survival. Survival predictions among chemotherapy-treated patients were similar to estimates from published clinical cohorts. The model-based score had significantly better discrimination characteristics (5-year survival estimate range 22–87 %) and explained 23 % of variation in survival.We validated the IPI and R-IPI as recorded by cancer registries to provide robust risk stratification in the general population with DLBCL, but a prognostic model using raw registry data provides superior performance. Explicit recording of prognostic factors is preferable to abstracting coarsened clinical indices for the purpose of population-based epidemiologic research. Considering low variation of survival explained by the standard clinical variables, incorporating molecular markers into registry data is necessary to improve risk stratification. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
