Overview

The Oesophagogastric Cancer calculator uses the Oesophagogastric Cancer eRAT to determine a patient’s risk of having Oesophagogastric cancer based on the most recent data received from the clinical system for that patient and additional data that may be added by the user.

...

  • Raised platelets are inferred if the patient has a platelet count > 400.

  • Nationally the current units of measure for haemoglobin changed from g/dl to g/l.
    The CDS tool takes account of this so that either set of units can be interpreted correctly.
    If a haemoglobin value is less than 35 then it is deemed to be g/dl and is converted to g/l by multiplying by 10.

  • For men: If the g/l value is between 0 and 100 then the haemoglobin level is considered "very low". Values 100 or above, but less than 135 then are considered "low”.

  • For women: If the g/l value is between 0 and 100 then the haemoglobin level is considered "very low". Values 100 or above, but less than 115 then are considered "low”.
