• EASL Clinical Practice Guidelines: Liver transplantation. (2016, methodology): “Approximately one third of the patients experience some kind of complication, the majority of which are type I or II according to the Clavien-Dindo classification system [231].”
• Extended Clavien-Dindo classification of surgical complications: Japan Clinical Oncology Group postoperative complications criteria (2015, methodology): “This revised version defines five grades of severity (Grade I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb, and V) and the suffix “d” (for “disability”) is used to denote any postoperative impairment [7].”
• A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (2011, positive): “Adverse events were categorized based on Dindo classification.(14) For complications that span multiple Dindo categories, we chose to place all instances in one category based on consensus opinion.”
• The Clavien-Dindo Classification of Surgical Complications: Five-Year Experience (2009, methodology): “These criteria constituted the framework of the revised classification system.(7) Before this publication, the grading system was evaluated by 150 surgeons from 10 centers around the world, indicating that the new proposal was indeed understandable, simple, and reproducible.”
