A prospective study was undertaken in 1963 on the respective prognostic significances of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and presence or absence of systemic symptoms in Hodgkin's disease. Six hundred seventy-six patients with clinical stages I or II were included in this study; 376 from 1963 to 1971 who were included in the H1 trial of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) and 300 who had been enrolled in the EORTC H2 trial from 1972 to 1976. All relevant data and long-term follow-up are available from 649 patients who were analyzed in this study. Multivariate analysis (Cox model) was carried out to assess the prognostic value of ESR independently of the other prognostic parameters and of the treatment. The results showed that of all the prognostic indicators studied, ESR is the one which has the highest correlation with relapse-free survival; however, initial ESR is not correlated with the probability of death after relapse. The presence or absence of systemic symptoms has less prognostic impact. Despite a close correlation between systemic symptoms and ESR, the two are not redundant and it is useful to combine both.
