Description
The ECOG Performance Status is an ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 5 that describes a patient’s functional capacity, from fully active (0) to death (5). It focuses on the patient’s ability to carry out daily activities, self-care, and work. Compared with the Karnofsky Performance Status, ECOG is simpler and quicker to apply, making it well suited to routine oncology practice and clinical trials. The score is widely used to support treatment planning, prognostication, and eligibility assessment for therapies and studies.
