Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) Calculator
Sum of weighted comorbidities + age decade points; predicts 10-year mortality.
Compute the Charlson Comorbidity Index — a summed weighted-comorbidity score that predicts 10-year mortality risk in patients with chronic disease. Inputs are grouped by point-weighting category (1, 2, 3, 6 points each) plus age-decade points (1 per decade ≥ 50). Higher scores → worse prognosis; CCI ≥ 5 indicates very high mortality risk.
How to use this calculator
- Fill in the inputs above using the units you already have.

Formula
CCI = Σ comorbidity weights + age-decade points.
