Utility of Lean Body Mass Equations and Body Mass Index for Predicting Outcomes in Critically Ill Adults with Sepsis: A Retrospective Study

Utility of Lean Body Mass Equations and Body Mass Index for Predicting Outcomes in Critically Ill Adults with Sepsis: A Retrospective Study

Lean body mass is a significant component of survival from sepsis. Several equations can be used for calculating lean body mass based on age, sex, body weight, and height. We hypothesized that lean body mass is a better predictor of outcomes than the body mass index (BMI). This study used a multicen...
