Of patients with complications, n = 57 patients (12.6%) experienced more than one complication. Here, the cumulative CCI led to an upgrade of at least one CDC grade in 33 patients. Hence, in 22.0% of cases, the highest CDC grade underestimated the degree of complications. CCI showed higher correlation with LOS compared with CDC (all r 0.2, all p-values ≤0.0001). Using CCI instead of CDC for sample calculation resulted in a strong reduction of the required number of patients for all three interventions (percentage of
