There is a lack of quality contemporary data on the effect of body-mass index (BMI) on perioperative outcomes. Hence, we sought to determine the procedure-specific independent-effect of BMI on 30-day surgical outcomes in patients undergoing major urologic surgery. MATERIAL & METHODS: Participants included individuals undergoing one of 3 major urologic surgery (prostate, bladder, kidney cancer; n=9,014) recorded in the ACS-NSQIP (2005-2011) database. Outcomes assessed included complications, blood-transfusion, length-of-stay (LOS), re-intervention, readmission and perioperative mortality. Multivariable logistic-regression models assessed the independent-effect of BMI on these outcomes. RESULTS: Nearly, 74% of all patients had a BMI disturbance, with the majority being either overweight (35.3%; BMI=25-29.9-kg/m 2 ) or obese (29.8%; BMI=30-39.9-kg/m 2 ). Morbidly-obese (BMI≥40-kg/m 2 ) and underweight patients (BMI<18.5-kg/m 2 ) constituted a small but significant proportion of the patients, 5.7% and 2.8%, respectively. In multivariable-analyses, morbidly-obese patients had significantly increased odds of wound complications in all 3 of the examined procedures, of renal complications after prostatectomy and cystectomy, of thromboembolism and UTI after prostatectomy (fig.1). Conversely, obese/overweight patients, except for increased odds of UTI after prostatectomy, did not experience increased odds for complications, rather had decreased odds for blood transfusion.

Title
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of BMI-derangements in urologic surgical patients is high. The effect of BMI on outcomes is procedurespecific. Patients with BMI between 18.5 and 40-kg/m 2 at time of surgery fare equally well with regards to complications. However, morbidly-obese patients are at high-risk for post-surgical complications, and thus, targeted preoperative-optimization may improve outcomes and attenuate disparity in access-to-care in these patients.
