Impact of recipient body mass index on heart transplantation outcomes
The recipient BMI did not significantly impact post-transplantation survival after multivariable adjustment. However, unadjusted analyses showed comparable non-survival outcomes across BMI groups. Our study suggests that selected underweight and class I obese patients may undergo heart transplantation without increased risk of post-transplantation mortality.
