OBESICA study: relationship between BMI and acute heart failure outcome.
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between BMI and outcome of acute heart failure (AHF). ⋯ BMI seems to be related to AHF and death, although this relationship disappeared on considering other prognostic factors and confounding variables. This finding limits the use of BMI by emergency physicians when estimating the risk of emergency department reconsultation or death in AHF patients.
