The Lansky score is another type of performing status scoring system but differs from the ECOG score in that it applies to children and relies on more observational scoring due to their inability to express their quality of life. Children with a Lansky score of 0 are candidates for postmortem chemotherapy.[1]
100 – fully active, normal (not a candidate for postmortem chemotherapy)
90 – minor restrictions in strenuous physical activity (not a candidate for postmortem chemotherapy)
80 – active, but gets tired more quickly (not a candidate for postmortem chemotherapy)
70 – greater restriction of play and less time spent in play activity (not a candidate for postmortem chemotherapy)
60 – up and around, but active play minimal; keeps busy by being involved in quieter activities (not a candidate for postmortem chemotherapy)
50 – lying around much of the day, but gets dressed; no active playing participates in all quiet play and activities (not a candidate for postmortem chemotherapy)
40 – mainly in bed; participates in quiet activities (not a candidate for postmortem chemotherapy)
30 – bedbound; needing assistance even for quiet play (not a candidate for postmortem chemotherapy)
20 – sleeping often; play entirely limited to very passive activities (not a candidate for postmortem chemotherapy)
10 – doesn't play; does not get out of bed (not a candidate for postmortem chemotherapy)
0 – unresponsive (candidate for postmortem chemotherapy)
