Obesity has been described as a protective factor in cardiovascular and other diseases being expressed as 'obesity paradox'. However, the impact of obesity on clinical outcomes including mortality in COVID-19 has been poorly systematically investigated until now. We aimed to compare clinical outcomes among COVID-19 patients divided into three groups according to the body mass index (BMI).
We retrospectively collected data up to May 31, 2020. 3635 patients were divided into three groups of BMI (<25 kg/m; n = 1110, 25-30 kg/m; n = 1464, and >30 kg/m; n = 1061). Demographic, in-hospital complications, and predictors for mortality, respiratory insufficiency, and sepsis were analyzed.
The rate of respiratory insufficiency was more recorded in BMI 25-30 kg/m as compared to BMI < 25 kg/m (22.8% vs. 41.8%; p < 0.001), and in BMI > 30 kg/m than BMI < 25 kg/m, respectively (22.8% vs. 35.4%; p < 0.001). Sepsis was more observed in BMI 25-30 kg/m and BMI > 30 kg/m as compared to BMI < 25 kg/m, respectively (25.1% vs. 42.5%; p = 0.02) and (25.1% vs. 32.5%; p = 0.006). The mortality rate was higher in BMI 25-30 kg/m and BMI > 30 kg/m as compared to BMI < 25 kg/m, respectively (27.2% vs. 39.2%; p = 0.31) (27.2% vs. 33.5%; p = 0.004). In the Cox multivariate analysis for mortality, BMI < 25 kg/m and BMI > 30 kg/m did not impact the mortality rate (HR 1.15, 95% CI: 0.889-1.508; p = 0.27) (HR 1.15, 95% CI: 0.893-1.479; p = 0.27). In multivariate logistic regression analyses for respiratory insufficiency and sepsis, BMI < 25 kg/m is determined as an independent predictor for reduction of respiratory insufficiency (OR 0.73, 95% CI: 0.538-1.004; p = 0.05).
HOPE COVID-19-Registry revealed no evidence of obesity paradox in patients with COVID-19. However, Obesity was associated with a higher rate of respiratory insufficiency and sepsis but was not determined as an independent predictor for a high mortality.
肥胖已被描述为心血管疾病和其他疾病的保护因素,表现为“肥胖悖论”。然而,肥胖对 COVID-19 患者临床结局(包括死亡率)的影响直到现在才得到系统的研究。我们旨在根据体重指数(BMI)将 COVID-19 患者分为三组,比较临床结局。
我们回顾性地收集了截至 2020 年 5 月 31 日的数据。3635 名患者被分为三组 BMI(<25kg/m;n=1110,25-30kg/m;n=1464,和>30kg/m;n=1061)。分析人口统计学、住院并发症以及死亡率、呼吸衰竭和脓毒症的预测因素。
与 BMI<25kg/m 相比,BMI 为 25-30kg/m 时呼吸衰竭的发生率更高(22.8%比 41.8%;p<0.001),BMI>30kg/m 时呼吸衰竭的发生率也更高(22.8%比 35.4%;p<0.001)。与 BMI<25kg/m 相比,BMI 为 25-30kg/m 和 BMI>30kg/m 时,脓毒症的发生率更高(25.1%比 42.5%;p=0.02)和(25.1%比 32.5%;p=0.006)。与 BMI<25kg/m 相比,BMI 为 25-30kg/m 和 BMI>30kg/m 时的死亡率更高(27.2%比 39.2%;p=0.31)(27.2%比 33.5%;p=0.004)。在死亡率的 Cox 多变量分析中,BMI<25kg/m 和 BMI>30kg/m 并没有影响死亡率(HR 1.15,95%CI:0.889-1.508;p=0.27)(HR 1.15,95%CI:0.893-1.479;p=0.27)。在呼吸衰竭和脓毒症的多变量逻辑回归分析中,BMI<25kg/m 被确定为呼吸衰竭发生率降低的独立预测因素(OR 0.73,95%CI:0.538-1.004;p=0.05)。
HOPE COVID-19-Registry 研究未发现 COVID-19 患者存在肥胖悖论的证据。然而,肥胖与更高的呼吸衰竭和脓毒症发生率相关,但不是高死亡率的独立预测因素。
