3 Fig 2 Relationship between risk for 30-day mortality in different body mass index (BMI) groups calculated in relation to the BMI group with lowest incidence (BMI = 25–29 kg/m2). Vertical bars show 95% confidence intervals (CI). Odds ratios (OR) unadjusted and adjusted are given below the figure. (BVAD = biventricular assist device; DCMP = dilative cardiomyopathy.)
