Logistic regression analysis of obesity and COVID-19 outcomes in diabetic patients
| Outcome | OR (95% CI) | P | aOR* (95% CI) | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Death | 1.47 (0.70–3.04) | 0.30 | 2.72 (1.13–7.44) | 0.01 |
| Requirement for mechanical ventilation | 1.51 (0.72–3.15) | 0.26 | 1.87 (1.03–4.76) | 0.04 |
| ICU admission | 1.27 (0.64–2.53) | 0.48 | 2.41 (1.11–5.68) | 0.03 |
| CURB-65 | 1.31 (0.60–2.85) | 0.48 | 1.68 (0.32–4.57) | 0.57 |
| qSOFA | 2.12 (0.66–6.72) | 0.20 | 1.47 (0.33–10.72) | 0.23 |
Dependent variables: death, mechanical ventilation, ICU admission, CURB-65 score,
qSOFA score; Independent variable: obesity status (BMI > 30 kg/m2).
*Adjusted OR for age, sex, smoking status, comorbidities (CVD, respiratory diseases, hypertension, kidney diseases, carcinoma, liver diseases, and autoimmune diseases), glucose concentration and hs-CRP.
COVID-19, coronavirus disease 2019; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; aOR, adjusted OR; ICU, intensive care unit; CURB-65, confusion, urea, respiratory rate, blood pressure; qSOFA, quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment; CVD, cardiovascular disease; hs-CRP, high sensitive-C reactive protein.
