Always bet on bloat. Looks like the obese don’t need to be vaxxed either!

Impact of obesity on survival in COVID-19 ARDS patients receiving ECMO: results from an ambispective observational cohort


Kaplan–Meier cumulated survival curves at day 90 since ICU admission in obese (red curve) and non-obese patients (blue curve). Obesity was defined as a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2


Conclusion

In this French monocentric cohort of COVID-19 severe ARDS patients requiring ECMO, obesity was an independent factor associated with improved 90-day survival. Further studies are warranted to confirm these results.
