Raw Data CCI® Calculator - Comparisons

Description
The "Raw Data CCI® Calculator - Comparisons" was developed as a solution for calculating and comparing between two or among multiple groups the Comprehensive Complication Index® (CCI®) for patients with known multiple grades of complications according to the Clavien-Dindo Classification of surgical complications.

The benefit of the "Raw Data CCI® Calculator - Simple" is that it calculates the CCI® in an Excel database automatically for multiple patients so that the investigators do not have to calculate it separately for each patient. Additionally, the "Raw Data CCI® Calculator - Comparisons" automatically compares the CCI® between two groups or among multiple groups using the Mann Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests, respectively. 

Briefly, the CCI® is a novel metric that measures the overall morbidity on a scale from 0 (no complications) to 100 (death)​. Fore more information about the CCI® please visit: AssesSurgery.com​
