Charlson Comorbidity Index Calculator

Calculates a numerical score based on a patient's existing medical conditions, known as the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). This index quantifies the overall burden of illness by assessing specific comorbidities—such as heart disease, diabetes, or chronic kidney failure—and assigning weight values to each one. The resulting score provides an estimate of a person’s predicted survival rate and mortality risk. Users input relevant medical history information into the calculator, which then processes these inputs against established clinical guidelines to produce the final comorbidity index value. Assists healthcare professionals, researchers, and students in assessing patient complexity and predicting outcomes for individuals with multiple chronic diseases.
