Key Words Total knee arthroplasty; Obesity; Body mass index, Opioid prescribing; Propensity score matching; Postoperative pain; Opioid stewardship
Core Tip This large propensity-matched national cohort study examined how body mass index (BMI) relates to opioid prescribing after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in opioid-naive patients. Patients with obesity (BMI 30 kg/m² or greater) had a modestly higher likelihood of receiving postoperative opioid prescriptions, but greater obesity severity, including morbid obesity (BMI 40 kg/m² or greater), was not associated with more prescriptions. BMI alone may therefore be a limited predictor of postoperative opioid prescribing after TKA, and individualized evaluation of psychosocial and pain-related risk factors may better guide opioid stewardship.
