Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Evidence of the so-called "obesity paradox," which refers to the protective effect and survival benefit of obesity in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), remains controversial. This study aims to determine the association between body mass index (BMI) and functional outcomes in patients with ICH and whether it is modified by race/ethnicity.

METHODS

Included individuals were derived from the Ethnic/Racial Variations of Intracerebral Hemorrhage study, which prospectively recruited 1,000 non-Hispanic White, 1,000 non-Hispanic Black, and 1,000 Hispanic patients with spontaneous ICH. Only patients with available BMI were included. The primary outcome was 90-day mortality. Secondary outcomes were mortality at discharge, modified Rankin Scale (mRS), Barthel Index, and self-reported health status measures at 90 days. Associations between BMI and ICH outcomes were assessed using univariable and multivariable logistic, ordinal, and linear regression models, as appropriate. Sensitivity analyses after excluding frail patients and by patient race/ethnicity were performed.

RESULTS

A total of 2,841 patients with ICH were included. The median age was 60 years (interquartile range 51-73). Most patients were overweight (n = 943; 33.2%) or obese (n = 1,032; 36.3%). After adjusting for covariates, 90-day mortality was significantly lower among overweight and obese patients than their normal weight counterparts (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.71 [0.52-0.98] and aOR = 0.70 [0.50-0.97], respectively). Compared with patients with BMI <25 kg/m2, those with BMI ≥25 kg/m2 had better 90-day mRS (aOR = 0.80 [CI 0.67-0.95]), EuroQoL Group 5-Dimension (EQ-5D) (aβ = 0.05 [0.01-0.08]), and EQ-5D VAS (aβ = 3.80 [0.80-6.98]) scores. These differences persisted after excluding withdrawal of care patients. There was an inverse relationship between BMI and 90-day mortality (aOR = 0.97 [0.96-0.99]). Although non-Hispanic White patients had significantly higher 90-day mortality than non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic (26.6% vs 19.5% vs 18.0%, respectively; p < 0.001), no significant interactions were found between BMI and race/ethnicity. No significant interactions between BMI and age or sex for 90-day mortality were found, whereas for 90-day mRS, there was a significant interaction with age (pinteraction = 0.004).

CONCLUSION

We demonstrated that a higher BMI is associated with decreased mortality, improved functional outcomes, and better self-reported health status at 90 days, thus supporting the paradoxical role of obesity in patients with ICH. The beneficial effect of high BMI does not seem to be modified by race/ethnicity or sex, whereas age may play a significant role in patient functional outcomes.

Abstract

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE

Mild obesity is associated with a survival benefit in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Only a few studies have analyzed the effect of obesity on outcomes after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and none have used a national US database. We sought to determine whether or not obesity was associated with outcomes and in-hospital complications following ICH.

METHODS

The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was used to identify patients with ICH in the USA who were discharged between 2002 and 2011. The presence of obesity (body mass index [BMI] 30-39.9) or morbid obesity (BMI ≥ 40) was noted. The primary outcome of interest was in-hospital mortality, and secondary outcomes included non-routine discharge disposition, tracheostomy or gastrostomy placement, length of stay (LOS), inflation-adjusted hospital charges, and in-hospital complications.

RESULTS

A total of 123,415 patients with ICH met the inclusion criteria, and the 10-year overall incidence of obesity was 4.5%. Between 2002 and 2011, the incidence of obesity increased from 1.9 to 4.4% and the incidence of morbid obesity increased from 0.7 to 3.2%. Both obese (OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.56-0.69) and morbidly obese (OR 0.76, 95% CI 0.66-0.88) patients had lower odds of inpatient mortality. Obese (OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.78-0.93) but not morbidly obese patients had lower odds of non-routine discharge. Morbidly obese patients were twice as likely to require a tracheostomy than non-obese patients (OR 2.07, 95% CI 1.62-2.66). Both obese and morbidly obese patients had higher total hospital charges and rates of pulmonary, renal, and venous thromboembolic complications. There was no difference in LOS according to body habitus.

CONCLUSIONS

In patients with spontaneous ICH, obesity is associated with decreased in-hospital mortality but higher rates of in-hospital complications and greater total hospital charges. Non-morbid obesity carries lower odds of non-routine hospital discharge.

Abstract

Background and aim

Obesity paradox has aroused increasing concern in recent years. However, impact of obesity on outcomes in intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate association of body mass index (BMI) with in-hospital mortality, complications and discharge disposition in ICH.

Methods

Data were from 85 705 ICH enrolled in the China Stroke Center Alliance study. Patients were divided into four groups: underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese according to Asian-Pacific criteria. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. The secondary outcomes included non-routine discharge disposition and in-hospital complications. Discharge to graded II or III hospital, community hospital or rehabilitation facilities was considered non-routine disposition. Multivariable logistic regression analysed association of BMI with outcomes.

Results

82 789 patients with ICH were included in the final analysis. Underweight (OR=2.057, 95% CI 1.193 to 3.550) patients had higher odds of in-hospital mortality than those with normal weight after adjusting for covariates, but no significant difference was observed for patients who were overweight or obese. No significant association was found between BMI and non-disposition. Underweight was associated with increased odds of several complications, including pneumonia (OR 1.343, 95% CI 1.138 to 1.584), poor swallow function (OR 1.351, 95% CI 1.122 to 1.628) and urinary tract infection (OR 1.532, 95% CI 1.064 to 2.204). Moreover, obese patients had higher odds of haematoma expansion (OR 1.326, 95% CI 1.168 to 1.504), deep vein thrombosis (OR 1.506, 95% CI 1.165 to 1.947) and gastrointestinal bleeding (OR 1.257, 95% CI 1.027 to 1.539).

Conclusions

In patients with ICH, being underweight was associated with increased in-hospital mortality. Being underweight and obese can both increased risk of in-hospital complications compared with having normal weight.
