Five-year mortality in relation to admission weight status* among patients with diabetes hospitalized for heart failure.
*Underweight (18.5 kg/m2 < body mass index [BMI]), normal weight (18.5 kg/m2 ≤ BMI <25 kg/m2), overweight (25 kg/m2 ≤ BMI <30 kg/m2), Class I obesity (30 kg/m2 ≤ BMI <35 kg/m2), Class II obesity (35 kg/m2 ≤ BMI <40 kg/m2), and Class III obesity (40 kg/m2 ≤ BMI). Crude hazard ratios (HRs) (black) adjusted for study cohort. Multivariate-adjusted HRs (gray) adjusted for study cohort (1995 vs 2000), age (categorical), sex, do not resuscitate orders, glomerular filtration rate (continuous), length of stay (continuous), history of hypertension, history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, history of peripheral vascular disease, history of percutaneous coronary intervention, history of coronary artery bypass graft, and history of atrial fibrillation. CI = confidence interval.
