note = "Emergency surgery is complicated by a physiologically thrombotic state that can be compounded by obesity. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis agents are generally given at fixed dosages that can result in higher VTE rates in the obese population. We hypothesize that greater BMI will be associated with an increased risk of VTE in acute care surgery (ACS) patients.",
