Table 5 Risk of major in-hospital complication following primary TJR: multivariable logistic regressions using either HMD-recorded obesity (model 1) or actual body weight and height (model 2)

From: Use of routine hospital morbidity data together with weight and height of patients to predict in-hospital complications following total joint replacement
