High comprehensive complication index after minimally invasive esophagectomy associated with poor short-term and long-term outcome: a propensity score matching analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The comprehensive complication index (CCI) is a valuable index to comprehensively and systematically evaluate complication severity. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive ability of comprehensive complication index on short- and long-term overall survival(OS) in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) undergoing Mckeown minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE).

Methods

A total of 320 patients treated with radical MIE from 2013 to 2017 were included, and the primary outcome was OS. Firstly, the optimal cut-off value of CCI was determined by X-tile. Propensity score matching(PSM) was used to balance the baseline characteristics. Second, postoperative hospital stay and hospital costs between high- and low-CCI groups were compared. Third, the Kap
