NCT ID NCT07398742
First seen Feb 11, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study looked at over 100,000 adults who had knee replacement surgery to see if obese patients (BMI 30 or higher) get more infections around the new joint than non-obese patients. Researchers used Danish health records to track infections and the types of bacteria causing them for two years after surgery. The goal is to help doctors choose better antibiotics and prevention methods for each group.
