An observational study in Rectal Diseases, sponsored by Cantonal Hospital of St. Gallen. Completed at 1 site in Switzerland. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-06-25.
Sponsored by Cantonal Hospital of St. Gallen · Observational
Postoperative complications after rectal resection can worsen the short-term postoperative outcomes and the long-term survival. This study aims to compare the comprehensive complication index (CCI) and the commonly used Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) in predicting postoperative outcomes after rectal resection.
87 studies on the registry are indexed under Rectal Diseases; 14 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 958 is above the median of 223 across 26 observational studies indexed under Rectal Diseases.

Exclusion Criteria:
Diagnostic Test: Comprehensive complication index (CCI)
Diagnostic Test: Clavien-Dindo-Classification (CDC)
Comprehensive complication index (CCI)
Clavien-Dindo-Classification (CDC)
Length of hospital stay
The predictive ability of the comprehensive-complication index and the Clavien-Dindo classification regarding the length of hospital stay after rectal resection will be compared through an area under the curve (AUC) analysis.
Time frame: Periprocedural
30-day readmission rate
The predictive ability of the comprehensive-complication index and the Clavien-Dindo classification regarding the 30-day readmission rate after rectal resection will be compared through an area under the curve (AUC) analysis.
Time frame: 30 days
90-day mortality
The predictive ability of the comprehensive-complication index and the Clavien-Dindo classification regarding the 90-day mortality after rectal resection will be compared through an area under the curve (AUC) analysis.
Time frame: 90 days
Overall survival
The patients 5-year overall survival will be compared between patients with low comprehensive-complication index and high comprehensive-complication index. A high comprehensive-complication score was defined as a score above the median score of the patients with a Clavien-Dinco classification grad 3a complication.
Time frame: 5 years
Comprehensive measure
Evaluation of the comprehensive measure of the comprehensive-complications index through analysis of the number and severity of all complications for patients with multiple complications. Comparison of the range of the comprehensice complications-index score in patients with the same Clavien-Dindo classification.
Time frame: 30 days
