53 The Role of Body Mass Index in Hospitalized Burn Patients

Abstract Introduction Body mass index (BMI) has been identified as an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. The objective of this study was to investigate what role BMI played burn Methods Registry data all patients over the age 18 admitted our ABA verified center between July 1, 2015 December 31, 2020 analyzed. Patients were categorized based on World Health Organization’s definition BMI. Age, gender, co-morbidities, race, ethnicity, total body surface area (TBSA) mechanism injury included. Total length stay, ICU need a ventilator, hospital disposition also Categorical variables compared using chi-square, continuous one-way ANOVA with post-hoc analysis. A multivariate logistic regression model fit generate adjusted odds ratios likelihood in-patient p-value < 0.05 considered significant Results 1106 included Mean 48.8 years. 27.7. 785 (71%) male. most common flame (551, 49.8 %). following distribution BMI: underweight 50 (4.5%), normal weight 381 (34.4%), overweight 337 (30.5%), Class 1 obesity 198 (17.9%), 2 81 (7.3%), 3 59 (5.3%). All classes obese more likely have hypertension (P 0.001). diabetes mellitus Underweight pre-existing cardiovascular disease (P< 0.001) respiratory = 0.003).

Obesity increased mortality. be discharged rehabilitation or skilled nursing facility less sent home (P=0.002). There no difference TBSA, ventilator days amongst six groups.
