BMI is independently associated with ARDS, sepsis and multiorgan failure after major trauma—results of a high-volume retrospective observational cohort study
A higher BMI was independently associated with ARDS, sepsis and MOF, but no independent association with mortality was detected in this cohort of adult trauma patients. This suggests that BMI may function as a clinically relevant risk marker.
