Table 3.

Analysis of morbidity and mortality rate of small bowel perforations according to the Clavien–Dindo classification.

Clavien–Dindo Classification Category of Small Bowel Perforations Genesis (According to Table 2)
1a 1b 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
CDC 1 (number of cases) 19 17 11 15 11 8 3 5 1
CDC 2 (number of cases) 4 6 4 10 2 1 0 0 0
CDC 3 (number of cases) 6 9 6 6 1 1 1 0 1
CDC 4 (number of cases) 6 34 21 8 7 2 7 0 1
CDC 5 (number of cases) 2 9 13 6 1 0 1 0 1

CDC = Clavien–Dindo classification of 30-day morbidity; CDC 1 = normal course; CDC 2 = need of medication, parenteral feeding, or transfusion therapy; CDC 3 = need of further interventions; CDC 4 = need of therapy on ICU with single or multiorgan failure; CDC 5 = dead 30 days after diagnosis. Categories of small bowel perforations: 1a = directly diagnosed and treated iatrogenic perforation; 1b = iatrogenic perforation with delayed diagnosis and treatment; 2 = ischemic perforation; 3 = malignant perforation; 4 = inflammatory perforation; 5 = diverticula-associated perforation; 6 = traumatic perforation; 7 = foreign-body-associated perforation; 8 = unknown cause of perforation.
