In this study, a nationwide analysis was performed using the NTDB to evaluate the role of obesity in abdominal trauma patients who required laparotomies. However, there was no significant difference in mortality rate, hospital LOS, or ICU LOS between the SBP systolic blood pressure, ED emergency department, RR respiratory rate, GCS Glasgow coma scale, ISS injury severity score, BMI body mass index, CI confidence interval obese and non-obese in patients who did not receive laparotomy after matching (Table 3 ). Obesity is associated with increased mortality and LOS in abdominal trauma patients who received laparotomies versus those who did not.	./cache/cord-011221-rhyxp4v5.txt	./txt/cord-011221-rhyxp4v5.txt
