Association between obesity and risk of delayed discharge and unplanned readmission for day surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Published in: International journal of nursing practice (2023)

Additionally, a higher BMI was not associated with increased risk of unplanned readmission after day surgery. Future studies are required to address this issue further in different types of surgery and areas.
