BACKGROUND: @entity28 has become a significant public health concern in the United States. Few published data have examined the association between @entity28 and @entity260 after @entity348 ( @entity348 ). METHODS: @entity1 who underwent @entity348 were identified using the PearlDiver database Current Procedural Terminology codes. @entity1 were divided into @entity28 and nonobese cohorts using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes. Each cohort was then assessed for major and minor complications within 90  days postoperatively. Odds ratios, 95% confidence intervals, and   (2) tests were calculated, with P  <  .05 considered significant. RESULTS: From 2005 to 2011, 7580 @entity1 who underwent @entity348 were identified, of whom 1030 @entity1 (14%) were coded as @entity28 (body mass index  >  30) and 611 @entity1 (8%) were coded as morbidly @entity28 (body mass index >  40). The @entity28 @entity348 @entity1 had increased risk of 90-day major and minor complications. The rate of postoperative @entity1211 differed significantly between groups, with a trend toward a higher @entity1211 rate in @entity28 @entity1 (2.2%) vs. nonobese @entity1 (0.7%). Rate of postoperative stiffness was similar between groups. Infection rates were higher in @entity28 @entity1 compared with nonobese @entity1 . Medical complications were higher in @entity28 @entity1 (16.7%) compared with the nonobese cohort (4.7%). A significant difference in implant removal was notable at 6  months and 1 year in morbidly @entity28 @entity1 compared with nonobese counterparts. CONCLUSIONS: @entity28 and associated medical comorbidities place @entity1 at increased risk for complications after @entity348 . @entity28 @entity1 and especially morbidly @entity28 @entity1 thinking of undergoing @entity348 should be appropriately counseled preoperatively about their increased risk for complications.
