Overview

Does not support BMI-based preoperative risk stratification for isolated CABG; leaves open its association with long-term outcomes.

Is body mass index a risk factor for in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing isolated CABG?

Population
16,218 patients who underwent isolated CABG assessed for the effect of body mass index on in-hospital mortality.
E
Exposure
Different BMI categories (underweight, normal, overweight, and 3 subgroups of obesity) or BMI as a continuous variable

Body mass index is not a significant independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality after isolated CABG, though the lowest mortality is observed in high-normal and overweight patients.

Cite This Study

Jin et al. (2005) conducted a cohort in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (n=16,218). Body mass index (BMI) vs. Normal BMI was evaluated on In-hospital mortality. Body mass index was not a statistically significant risk factor for in-hospital mortality among 16,218 patients undergoing isolated CABG.
