The impact of body mass index and gender on the development of infectious complications in polytrauma patients
Original language description
Purpose The aim was to test the impact of body mass index (BMI) and gender on infectious complications after polytrauma. Methods: A total of 651 patients were included in this retrospective study, with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) >= 16 and age >= 16 years. The sample was subdivided into three groups: BMI <25 kg/m(2), BMI 25-30 kg/m(2), and BMI >30 kg/m(2), and a female and a male group. Infectious complications were observed for 31 days after admission. Data are given as mean +/- standarderrors of the means. Analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis test, chi(2) tests, and Pearson's correlation were used for the analyses and the significance level was set at P < 0.05. Results: The overall infection rates were 31.0 % in the BMI < 25 kg/m(2) group, 29.0 % in the BMI 25-30 kg/m(2) group, and 24.5 % in the BMI > 30 kg/m(2) group (P = 0.519). The female patients developed significantly fewer infectious complications than the male patients (26.8 vs. 73.2 %; P < 0.001).
