Moreover, discrepancies between established complication grading systems and the patient\u2019s perspective remain unexplored.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We prospectively evaluated perioperative complications after cystectomy using the Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) and the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI). The CDC and CCI were compared to patient-reported complication grades through Spearman correlation analysis.

Of those, 154 provided written consent to participate in the study, and 111 completed the post-discharge questionnaire. We found a moderate correlation between physician-assessed and patient-reported complication grades (CDC:\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.34, CCI:\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.39;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Patients with matching grades were defined as realists (50%). Those who reported lower complication grades than assessed by physicians were defined as optimists (38%), while those who reported higher grades were defined as pessimists (12%).
