Effect of body mass index on clinical outcomes after robotic cardiac surgery: is there an obesity paradox?

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the effect of body mass index (BMI) on clinical outcomes after robotic cardiac surgery, and to explore the postoperative obesity paradox.

Methods

The data of 146 patients who underwent robotic cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) from July 2016 to June 2022 in Daping Hospital of Army Medical University were retrospectively analyzed, and their demographic data and related clinical data were statistically analyzed. The mean age was (42.88 ± 13.01) years, 55 (37.67%) were male and 91 (62.33%) were female. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to preoperative BMI: lean group (BMI < 18.5 kg/m²; n = 17; 11.64%), normal group (BMI 18.5 kg/m² to 23.9 kg/m²; n = 81; 55.48%), and overweight and obese grou
