Journal Article
Is it worth using the Comprehensive Complication Index over the Clavien–Dindo classification in elderly patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy?
2024
Overview
Purpose
To compare the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) to the Clavien–Dindo classification (CDC) in an elderly population who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and to identify predictors of postoperative complications in this population.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving patients 60 years and older who underwent PCNL at our Institution between 2009 and 2020. Postoperative complications were considered up to 30 days after surgery. Both CDC and CCI were calculated to assess patient outcomes. Length of stay (LOS) and admission to the emergency room (ER) were used as surrogates of postoperative complications.
Results
We included 244 patients with a median age of 65 [63–69] years. 15.6% presented postoperative complications, and 2.5% multiple complications. LOS had a correlation coefficient of 0.29 (p < 0.001) and ER admissions had a coefficient of 0.27 (p < 0.001) with both CDC and CCI. Cost of hospitalization based on CDC underestimated CCI-based cost of hospitalization in 0.8% (p = 0.049). Higher American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical status (p = 0.02), Charlson Comorbidity Index (p = 0.008), Guy’s classification (p = 0.005), and history of urinary tract infection (UTI, p = 0.047) exhibited significant correlations with postoperative complications.
Conclusion
Both CDC and CCI equally correlate with LOS and ER admissions following PCNL in elderly patients. However, CDC underestimates cost of hospitalization in comparison to CCI. We found higher ASA physical status, Charlson Comorbidity Index, Guy’s classification, and history of UTI as predictors of postoperative complications after this procedure in this population.
