L-shaped association of body mass index with prognosis in individuals with sepsis: a multicenter cohort study
An L-shaped relationship was observed between BMI and prognosis in septic patients, indicating that lower BMI values are significantly linked to increased mortality. Targeted nutritional interventions and close monitoring for patients with low BMI could potentially enhance their prognosis. Therefore, BMI can also be utilized to categorize the risk levels of patients with sepsis and effectively predict their prognosis.
