Abstract
Aims: The Clavien-Dindo (CD) classification and Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) have been validated primarily among general surgical procedures. To date, the validity of these measures has not been assessed in patients undergoing arthroplasty.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients undergoing primary total hip and knee arthroplasty between April 2013 and December 2019. Complications within 90 days of surgery were graded using the CD classification and converted to CCI. Validity was established by assessing the association between both measures and discharge to inpatient rehabilitation, length of stay, and costs.
Results: Among 2,884 patients, 414 (14.4%) had an in-hospital complication and 643 (22.3%) had a complication within 90 days. Each increase in CD grade was associated with USD$1,895.48 (95% CI 1,734.77 to 2,056.18) of additional costs, an additional 1.24 days' length of stay (95% CI 1.15 to 1.33), and 43% (95% CI 26 to 62%) greater odds of discharge to inpatient rehabilitation. Each ten-unit increase in CCI score was associated with USD$1,698.55 (95% CI 1,561.8 to 1,835.3) higher costs, an additional 1.09 days' length of stay (95% CI 1.02 to 1.17), and 33% (95% CI 19% to 49%) greater odds of discharge to inpatient rehabilitation.
Conclusion: Both the CD classification and CCI appear valid and applicable to patients undergoing total joint replacement.
目的:Clavien-Dindo (CD)分类和综合并发症指数(CCI)主要在普通外科手术中得到验证。迄今为止,这些措施的有效性尚未在接受关节置换术的患者中得到评估。方法:本回顾性队列研究纳入了2013年4月至2019年12月期间接受原发性全髋关节置换术的患者。手术90天内的并发症使用CD分级并转换为CCI。通过评估两种措施与出院至住院康复、住院时间和费用之间的关系来确定有效性。结果:2884例患者中,414例(14.4%)出现院内并发症,643例(22.3%)在90天内出现并发症。每增加一次CD等级,额外费用增加1,895.48美元(95% CI 1,734.77至2,056.18),住院时间增加1.24天(95% CI 1.15至1.33),出院康复的几率增加43% (95% CI 26至62%)。CCI评分每增加10个单位,费用增加1,698.55美元(95% CI 1,561.8至1,835.3),住院时间增加1.09天(95% CI 1.02至1.17),出院康复的几率增加33% (95% CI 19%至49%)。结论:CD分型和CCI对全关节置换术患者均有效,适用。
期刊介绍:
We welcome original articles from any part of the world. The papers are assessed by members of the Editorial Board and our international panel of expert reviewers, then either accepted for publication or rejected by the Editor. We receive over 2000 submissions each year and accept about 250 for publication, many after revisions recommended by the reviewers, editors or statistical advisers. A decision usually takes between six and eight weeks. Each paper is assessed by two reviewers with a special interest in the subject covered by the paper, and also by members of the editorial team. Controversial papers will be discussed at a full meeting of the Editorial Board. Publication is between four and six months after acceptance.
