Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared); HR, hazard ratio.

a

Incisional surgical site infection was the main event; organ or space surgical site infection, relaparotomy, and death were competing risks; and treatment group, BMI class, and colorectal surgery were covariates.

b

Compared to BMI <18.5.
