Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

To determine the magnitude of the change in RMR of patients receiving orthopedic surgery.

RMR = (9.99 X actual weight\*)+ (6.25 X height\*) - (4.92 X age) - 161\*use weight in kilograms (kilogram), height in centimeters (cm).

Time frame
12 weeks
2

To observe the amount of time it takes the RMR to return to baseline.

calculation in number of weeks

Time frame
12 weeks
