What Charlson score predicts highest 1-year mortality?

CCI 5 or more: predicted 1-year mortality approximately 85%. CCI 3–4: 52%. CCI 1–2: 26%. CCI 0: 12%. Scores from solid tumor (2 points), metastatic cancer (6), AIDS (6), and moderate/severe renal disease (2) are the highest contributors.

Is age adjustment required for the Charlson index?

The age-adjusted Charlson index adds 1 point per decade over age 40 (1 point for 50–59, 2 for 60–69, etc.). Age-adjusted CCI improves mortality prediction in mixed clinical populations and is used in some oncology risk models.
