Application of the comprehensive complication index and Clavien-Dindo complication classification in cardiac surgery: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Standardized tools are needed to accurately assess the severity of postoperative complications in cardiac surgery, which is critical for patient management and outcome evaluation. This study aims to evaluate the application of the Clavien Dindo Complications Classification (CDCC) and Comprehensive Complications Index (CCI) in cardiac surgery.

Results

563 patients (76.3%) had at least one complication. The mean CCI was 22.5 ± 19.3. Patients who underwent more complex surgeries had higher CDCC grades and CCI scores. Hospitalization cost and length of stay increased with increasing CDCC grade and CCI score. The ACCI (OR: 1.334 [1.109-1.606], p = 0.002) and LVEF (OR: 0.965 [0.943-0.987], p = 0.002) were associated factors for the most severe complications. The CCI may
