Can the Clavien-Dindo classification be used to document complication rates in general surgery patients?
Can the Clavien-Dindo classification be used to document complication rates in general surgery patients?
The Clavien-Dindo classification is applicable for documenting complication rates in general surgery patients.
Facilitates standardized complication tracking in general surgery; leaves open validation in prospective cohorts before routine adoption.
The Clavien-Dindo classification can easily be used to document complication rates in general surgery, even though this collective was not included in the original validation studies of Clavien et al. and consisted of more heavily impaired patients.
