Hospital accreditation and patient care, a dilemma?

There are concerns that increased BMI is associated with a greater length of stay (LOS) and perioperative complications following total knee (TKR) and total hip replacements (THR).

We performed a subgroup analysis for patients with morbid obesity (BMI >40) looking at perioperative complications.
