Impact of body mass index on mortality outcomes in intensive care patients with Staphylococcus aureus sepsis: A retrospective analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence associating body mass index (BMI) with the prognosis of Staphylococcus aureus sepsis remains scarce.

Objective

To explore the association between BMI and clinical outcomes in intensive care units patients with Staphylococcus aureus sepsis.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of patients with Staphylococcus aureus sepsis was conducted using the MIMIC-IV database from the Critical Care Medicine Information. Data were collected within the first 24 hours of intensive care units admission. The primary endpoint was 28-day mortality. The association between BMI and 28-day all-cause mortality was assessed using multivariable logistic regression, subgroup analyses, restricted cubic spline curves and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.
