Quantifying abdominal abscess burden using area under the curve methods inspired by dehiscence, infection/inflammation, seroma, hematoma classification

Figure 3 Comparison of high- and low-area under the curve groups. A: The proportion of patients with Clavien-Dindo (CD) grade II and III complications; B: Postoperative hospital stays of patients with CD grade II complications (26.2 days vs 17 days, P = 0.026); C: Abscess treatment durations of patients with CD grade II complications (18.4 days vs 7 days, P = 0.0004); D: Abscess treatment durations of patients with CD grade III complications (18 days vs 8 days, P = 0.044). AUC: Area under the curve; CD: Clavien-Dindo.
