Background:

Following lumbar spine surgery patients with a high BMI appear to have increased post-operative complications including surgical site infections (SSI), urinary complications, increased anaesthetic/operative time and a greater need for post-operative blood transfusion. There is no current evidence, however, analysing the effect of BMI on functional outcome.

Purpose:

We aimed to analyse the effect of BMI on functional outcome following lumbar spine surgery.
