Correction: Association of body mass index changes with short-term mortality risks in ICU patients with sepsis across different admission BMI states: analysis of the MIMIC-IV database

Q: What is the clinical evidence from this study?

Study design: Other. Population: ICU patients with sepsis across different admission BMI states. Primary outcome: 30-day mortality risk associated with body mass index changes.

Key Result

No clinical trial results or specific quantitative primary endpoint data were provided in this correction notice regarding BMI changes and short-term mortality risks in ICU patients with sepsis.

Abstract

The reference for Assessment of global incidence and mortality of hospital-treated sepsis. was erroneously written as Fleischmann C, Scherag A, Adhikari NK, Hartog CS, Tsaganos T, Schlattmann P, et al.

It should be Molnar MZ, Streja E, Kovesdy CP, Bunnapradist S, Sampaio MS, Jing J, et al.
