The GIPSS is based exclusively on genetic markers (mutations and karyotype), whereas the MIPSS70 includes mutations and clinical risk factors.

MIPSS70+ version 2.0 is an adaptation of MIPSS70 that includes a three-tiered cytogenetic risk stratification and use of hemoglobin thresholds that are adjusted for sex and severity; this is the preferred model in the presence of cytogenetic information.

Both MIPSS70 and MIPSS70+ version 2.0 require an online score calculator, whereas GIPPS offers a lower-complexity prognostic tool that reliably identifies candidates for allo-HCT (GIPSS high-risk disease) or long-term observation with little or no therapeutic intervention (GIPSS low-risk disease).
