Abstract

Objective

To develop and validate a comprehensive complication index (CCI) that integrates all events with their respective severity.

Background

Reporting of surgical complications is inconsistent and often incomplete. Most studies fail to provide information about the severity of complications, or inform only on the most severe event, ignoring events of lesser severity.
