Higher body mass index is not a protective risk factor for 28-days mortality in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy.

ABSTRACT: Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a fatal and common clinical disorder in critically ill patients. Recent studies have shown that the relationship between BMI and the outcome of patients with AKI undergoing CRRT is conflicting. Methods: A retrospective cohort study based on data reuse. Univariate analysis, multi-factor regression analysis and subgroup analyses were used to explore the association of the BMI with the 28-days mortality risk in patients with AKI undergoing CRRT. Results: From January 2009 to September 2016, a total of 1120 cases met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in this study. The univariate analysis showed that BMI was associated with 28-days mortality of patients with AKI undergoing
