Key result
The Comprehensive Complication Index was a better predictor of in-hospital costs than the Clavien-Dindo score, with CCI >40 being the only independent risk factor (Beta 8063, p=0.022).
Why the study?
Postoperative complications increase hospital stay and costs, prompting a comparison between the Clavien-Dindo system and the Comprehensive Complication Index in predicting length of stay and costs after colorectal resections.
Does the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) better predict length of hospital stay and in-hospital costs compared to the Clavien-Dindo scoring system in patients with complications after colorectal resections?
Population
64 patients with complications after colorectal resection

May aid cost prediction after colorectal resection complications; supports CCI superiority but leaves adoption open pending validation.
Cohort (n=64)
Does the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) better predict length of hospital stay and in-hospital costs compared to the Clavien-Dindo scoring system in patients with complications after colorectal resections?
Effect estimate: Standard Beta Coefficient 8063
p-value: p=0.022
The Comprehensive Complication Index is a better independent predictor of in-hospital costs than the Clavien-Dindo score for patients with complications after colorectal resections.
Smeyers et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in Surgical complications after colorectal resections (n=64). Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) vs. Clavien-Dindo scoring system was evaluated on In-hospital costs (Standard Beta Coefficient 8063, p=0.022). The Comprehensive Complication Index was a better predictor of in-hospital costs than the Clavien-Dindo score, with CCI >40 being the only independent risk factor (Beta 8063, p=0.022).
