Threshold effects of baseline BMI on 30-day hospital mortality in critically Ill COPD patients: a multicenter retrospective study
This retrospective analysis identified a BMI threshold of 20.8 kg/m<sup>2</sup> associated with differential ICU mortality risk in critically ill COPD patients. These observational findings may inform BMI-stratified risk assessment in ICU COPD populations, though prospective validation is warranted.
