A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Florida examined the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and trauma patient outcomes, specifically in relation to blunt and penetrating trauma. The study found that among patients who survived hospitalization for blunt trauma and required laparotomy, there was a significant increase in hospital length of stay (hLOS) with each successive BMI class. However, further analysis is needed to establish this relationship with other outcome measures and among penetrating trauma patients. This research provides valuable insights into the impact of obesity on trauma patient outcomes. [Extracted from the article] |
