CI, confidence Interval; ICU, intensive care unit; IMV, invasive medical ventilation; OR, Odds ratio.

Reference category: non-obesity. Results adjusted for age, sex, and comorbidities (DM, HT, and CVD).

The logistic regression analysis for the variables “ICU admission”, “IMV” and “mortality” were calculated in the total number of patients requiring hospital admission (N=2,040).

Bold values stand for statistically significant differences.
