FPHN Prognostic Index: Explanation and Clinical Context The FPHN Prognostic Index is a scoring system developed to assess the risk of mortality in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It incorporates clinical parameters such as age, cardiac index, 6-minute walk distance, NT-proBNP levels, hemoglobin concentration, and right atrial pressure. A higher score indicates a higher risk of mortality, aiding clinicians in risk stratification and management decisions.
