The Current State of Postoperative Complication Grading Scales
This systematic review examined grading scales for postoperative complications, highlighting the CDC as the most used and the CCI as better correlated with outcome indicators. The authors advocate for the CCI in research while recognizing the CDC's practicality in clinical care if appropriately tailored to surgical specialties.
