Impact of obesity on all-cause and cause-specific mortality among critically ill men and women: a cohort study on the eICU database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The effect of obesity on intensive care unit outcomes among critically ill patients and whether there are sex differences have not been well investigated. We sought to determine the association between obesity and 30-day all-cause and cause-specific mortality among critically ill men and women.

Methods

Adult participants who had body mass index (BMI) measurements were included from the eICU database. Participants were divided into six groups according to BMI (kg/m²) categories (underweight, <18.5; normal weight, 18.5-24.9; overweight, 25-29.9; class I obesity, 30-34.9; class II obesity, 35-39.9; class III obesity, ≥40). A multivariable adjusted logistic model was conducted with odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A cubic spline curve b
