Summary of the regression analysis for length of hospital stay and body composition parameters for patients with colorectal cancer. Length of hospital stay is shown as (a) that related to surgery and (b) the total for all patients

BMI, body mass index; FF, fat fraction; FFM, fat free mass; FM, fat mass; SM, skeletal muscle.
Significance is summarised as follows: *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001.
