Abstract:Objective: To evaluate the use of the comprehensive complication index (CCI) in the evaluation of postoperative complications after thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP) and compare CCI with the Clavien-Dindo classification(CDC) grading system. Methods: The clinical data of 283 patients who underwent ThuLEP for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in the Department of Urology of Beijing Tsinghua Chang Gung Memorial Hospital from August 2019 to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were assessed for postoperative complications using the CDC and CCI complication evaluation systems respectively, and the correlation between the two and postoperative length of stay was analysed. Results: A total of 80 complications occurred in 73 patients (25.60%). The results of CDC classification showed grade I complications in 59 cases (20.85%), grade Ⅱ in 13 cases (4.59%), grade IIIA in 4 cases (1.41%), grade IIIB in 3 cases (1.06%), and grade IVA in 1 case (0.35%). No grade IVB or V complications occurred. The median cumulative CCI score for patients with complications was 8.7(8.7,33.7). A total of 7 patients had ≥ 2 complications, and the cumulative CCI score was higher than the CCI score corresponding to the highest grade of CDC. Both of them were positively correlated with postoperative hospital stay, i.e. higher CDC grade, longer postoperative hospital stay (r=0.34, P<0.001), higher cumulative CCI score, and longer postoperative hospital stay (r=0.58, P<0.001). Cumulative CCI scores were more strongly correlated with postoperative hospital stay. Conclusion: Compared with CDC, CCI can be used more accurately to assess complications andtheir influence on postoperative hospital stay after ThuLEP.
