This pilot study examined the impact of different measures of fitness on length of stay following colectomy. A case\u2010control study was designed to evaluate the effect of skeletal muscle mass, body fat, and frailty measures on post\u2010operative length of stay (LOS). A simple random sample of 50 patients in each arm was selected based on prolonged LOS. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to determine associations between each covariate and LOS. After exclusions, 40 cases and 36 controls were included in the analysis. Frailty, as determined by weight loss and the Modified Frailty Index was not associated with prolonged LOS (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.060 and\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.469). Cross\u2010sectional muscle area (OR: 0.994, 95% CI: 0.989\u20130.999,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.029) and skeletal muscle index (OR: 0.981, 95% CI: 0.965\u20130.996,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.015) were associated with decreased LOS. Measures of body fat, as well as muscle\u2010to\u2010body fat ratios were not associated with LOS. These results suggest that body fat may be less influential than skeletal muscle when predicting post\u2010operative outcomes. This pilot study warrants further investigation with a larger number of patients to identify cut\u2010off values with which to provide targeted prehabilitation.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/hcs2.70058","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,20]],"date-time":"2026-02-20T05:11:58Z","timestamp":1771564318000},"page":"95-97","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Association of Skeletal Muscle, Body Fat and Frailty With Prolonged Length of Hospital Stay Following Colectomy for Adenocarcinoma: A Pilot Case\u2010Control Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-5163-8364","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Annmarie","family":"Butare","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University Greenville USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Justin","family":"Drake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University Greenville USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4574-2094","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael D.","family":"Honaker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University Greenville USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/00031348251329748"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/onco.13774"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/00469580221086912"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamasurg.2014.629"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1139\/H08-075"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jcsm.70023"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.puhe.2025.01.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gassur.2024.03.001"}],"container-title":["Health Care Science"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/hcs2.70058","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1002\/hcs2.70058","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/hcs2.70058","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,25]],"date-time":"2026-04-25T11:21:44Z","timestamp":1777116104000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/hcs2.70058"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,19]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/hcs2.70058"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/hcs2.70058","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2771-1749","2771-1757"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2771-1749","type":"print"},{"value":"2771-1757","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,19]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2025-07-27","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2025-11-22","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-02-19","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
