Impact of body mass index on perioperative mortality of acute stanford type A aortic dissection: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Obesity may increase perioperative mortality of acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). However, the available evidence was limited. This study aimed to systematically review published literatures about body mass index (BMI) and perioperative mortality of ATAAD.

Methods

Electronic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Medline, Embase and Cochrane Library databases. All observational studies that investigated BMI and perioperative mortality of ATAAD were included.
