Background At least 25% of adults admitted to intensive care units (ICU) in the United States
have an overweight, obese or morbidly obese body mass index (BMI). The effect of BMI on …

Background The role of increased body mass index (BMI) in sepsis is controversial. We
aimed to evaluate the associations between overweight (25 kg/m 2< BMI≤ 29.9 kg/m 2) …

Introduction On the last three months the new SARS-COV-2 coronavirus has created a
pandemic, rapidly spreading all around the world. The aim of the study is to investigate …

Objectives: Observational studies suggest obesity is associated with sepsis survival, but
these studies are small, fail to adjust for key confounders, measure body mass index at …

Background The effects of body mass index (BMI) on mortality of sepsis remain unknown,
since previous meta-analyses have reported conflicting results. Several observational …

Significance: Both incidence and mortality rates of sepsis significantly increase with
advanced age, and the majority of sepsis patients are late middle-aged or older. With the …

Objectives: Multiple studies have demonstrated an obesity paradox such that obese ICU
patients have lower mortality and better outcomes. We conducted this study to determine if …

Objectives We investigated the impact of obesity (proxied as body mass index (BMI)), on
short-and long-term mortality in sepsis patients. Methods We conducted a retrospective …

Background The Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) believed that early identification of
septic shock, aggressive fluid resuscitation and maintenance of effective perfusion pressure …

Background The distribution of body mass in populations of Western countries differs from
