Abstract
Introduction
The Clavien–Dindo classification (CDC) is commonly used for assessing postoperative complications; however, it may not be comprehensive. A comprehensive complication index (CCI) was introduced to address this limitation. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the CCI and CDC in evaluating the complications after simultaneous pancreas–kidney (SPK) transplantation.
Methods
Data were collected from patients who underwent SPK transplantation at our center between February 2018 and February 2021. Complications encountered during hospitalization were assessed using both the CDC and CCI. Linear regression analyses were performed to identify the factors related to postoperative length of stay (PLOS).
Results
Overall, 125 patients were included, with an average age of 46.87 years. Type 2 diabetes was present in 79% of the recipients. Among them, 117 patients experienced postoperative complications of CDC grades I (2.4%), II (57.6%), IIIa (8.0%), IIIb (9.6%), IVa (14.4%), IVb (0.8%), and V (0.8%) postoperative complications. The median CCI for the entire cohort was 37.2. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed significant associations between the CDC and PLOS and the CCI and PLOS. Notably, CCI exhibited a stronger correlation with PLOS (CCI: ρ = 0.698 vs. CDC: ρ = 0.524; p = 0.024).
Conclusion
The CCI demonstrated a stronger correlation with PLOS than CDC. Our finding suggests that the CCI may be a useful tool for comprehensively assessing complications following SPK transplantation.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research aims to serve as a channel of rapid communication for all those involved in the care of patients who require, or have had, organ or tissue transplants, including: kidney, intestine, liver, pancreas, islets, heart, heart valves, lung, bone marrow, cornea, skin, bone, and cartilage, viable or stored.
Published monthly, Clinical Transplantation’s scope is focused on the complete spectrum of present transplant therapies, as well as also those that are experimental or may become possible in future. Topics include:
Immunology and immunosuppression;
Patient preparation;
Social, ethical, and psychological issues;
Complications, short- and long-term results;
Artificial organs;
Donation and preservation of organ and tissue;
Translational studies;
Advances in tissue typing;
Updates on transplant pathology;.
Clinical and translational studies are particularly welcome, as well as focused reviews. Full-length papers and short communications are invited. Clinical reviews are encouraged, as well as seminal papers in basic science which might lead to immediate clinical application. Prominence is regularly given to the results of cooperative surveys conducted by the organ and tissue transplant registries.
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers in the diverse field of transplantation: surgeons; clinical immunologists; cryobiologists; hematologists; gastroenterologists; hepatologists; pulmonologists; nephrologists; cardiologists; and endocrinologists. It will also be of interest to sociologists, psychologists, research workers, and to all health professionals whose combined efforts will improve the prognosis of transplant recipients.
