Factors to consider in assessing risk of an episode of neutropenic fever in patients undergoing cytotoxic chemotherapy for malignancy

Factors to consider in assessing risk of an episode of neutropenic fever in patients undergoing cytotoxic chemotherapy for malignancy
Factors related to Factor Effect on risk
Patient characteristics
  • Advanced age
  • Risk increases if age ≥65 years[1]
  • Performance status
  • Risk increases if ECOG performance score ≥2[1]
  • Nutritional status
  • Risk increases if albumin <35 g/L[2,3]
  • Prior neutropenic fever episode
  • Risk in cycles 2 to 6 is fourfold greater if neutropenic fever episode occurs in cycle 1[4]
  • Comorbidities
  • Neutropenic fever odds increase by 27, 67, and 125% for one, two, or three or more comorbidities, respectively[1,5]
Underlying malignancy
  • Cancer diagnosis
Diagnosis Reported neutropenic fever rates (%)
  • Acute leukemia/MDS
85.0 to 95.0[6-9]
  • High-grade lymphoma
35.0 to 71.0*[10]
  • Soft tissue sarcoma
27.0 (95% CI 19.0-34.5)[4,5,11,12]
  • NHL/myeloma
26.0 (95% CI 22.0-29.0)[4,5,11,12]
  • Germ cell carcinoma
23.0 (95% CI 16.6-29.0)[4,5,11,12]
  • Hodgkin lymphoma
15.0 (95% CI 6.6-24.0)[4,5,11,12]
  • Ovarian carcinoma
12.0 (95% CI 6.6-17.7)[4,5,11,12]
  • Lung cancers
10.0 (95% CI 9.8-10.7)[4,5,11,12]
  • Colorectal cancers
5.5 (95% CI 5.1-5.8)[4,5,11,12]
  • Head and neck carcinoma
4.6 (95% CI 1.0-8.2)[4,5,11,12]
  • Breast cancer
4.4 (95% CI 4.1-4.7)[4,5,11,12]
  • Prostate cancer
1.0 (95% CI 0.9-1.1)[4,5,11,12]
  • Cancer stage
  • Risk increases for advanced stage (≥2)[4]
  • Remission status
  • Risk increases if not in remission[8,13]
  • Cancer treatment response
  • Risk is lowest if patient has a CR
  • If patient has a PR, neutropenic fever risk is greater for acute leukemia than for solid tissue malignancies[8]
  • Neutropenic fever risk is higher in patients with persistent, refractory, or progressive disease despite treatment[14,15]
Treatment of malignancy
  • Cytotoxic regimen
Risk is higher with regimens that include:
  • Anthracyclines at doses ≥90 mg/m2
  • Cisplatin at doses ≥100 mg/m2
  • Ifosfamide at doses ≥9 g/m2
  • Cyclophosphamide at doses ≥1 g/m2
  • Etoposide at doses ≥500 mg/m2
  • Cytarabine at doses ≥1 g/m2
  • High dose density
  • Anthracycline + taxane, and cyclophosphamide or gemcitabine, for breast cancer
  • Dose intensity
  • Increased risk if >85% of scheduled doses are administered[12,16]
  • Degree and duration of GI and/or oral mucositis
  • Risk is greatest if NCI mucositis grade is ≥3 (GI) or if peak score on OMAS is ≥2[9,17,18]
  • Degree and duration of cytopenia
  • Profound, protracted neutropenia
ANC <100/mcL for ≥7 days[19-21]
  • Lymphopenia
ALC <700/mcL (ANC surrogate)[11,22]
  • Monocytopenia
AMC <150/mcL (ANC surrogate)[23]
ECOG: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; MDS: myelodysplastic syndrome; NHL: non-Hodgkin lymphoma; CR: complete response; PR: partial response; GI: gastrointestinal; NCI: National Cancer Institute; OMAS: oral mucositis assessment scale; ANC: absolute neutrophil count; ALC: absolute lymphocyte count; AMC: absolute monocyte count.
* Grade 3 and 4 neutropenia. Treatment included colony-stimulating factors and antimicrobial prophylaxis. Rate of neutropenia varied by chemotherapy regimen.
