Amaç: Literatürde, fazla kilolu ve obez hastalarda koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] seyrinin daha kötü olduğunu gösteren pek çok çalışma bulunmaktadır. COVID-19 tanılı 271 hastada beden kitle indeksi (BKİ) yüksekliğinin tedavi süresini, yoğun bakım ünitesi ihtiyacını ve mortaliteye olan etkisini araştırmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: 01.09.2021-01.04.2022 tarihleri arasında nazo-orofarengeal örnekte şiddetli akut solunum sendromu-koronavirüs-2 polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu pozitifliği saptanan 271 hastada retrospektif gözlemsel kohort bir çalışma olarak gerçekleştirildi. Hastaların demografik bilgiler, risk faktörleri ve altta yatan ek hastalıklar, başvuru semptomları, radyolojik bulgular, yatış süreleri, laboratuvar değerleri değerlendirildi. Hastaları BKİ'ye göre sınıflandırdık ve prognoz için tedavinin 7 veya 10. gününde mortalite, hastanede kalış süresi ve laboratuvar değerlerini başlangıçla karşılaştırdık. Bulgular: Hastaların 61'i (%22,51) normal kilolu, 92'si (%33,95) fazla kilolu, 118'i (%43,54) obez idi. Obez hastalarda akciğer tutulum oranı obez olmayanlara göre daha yüksekti (p=0,005). Obez hastaların ortalama yatış süresi (12,4±7,7), obez olmayan hastalara göre (10,3±3,4) anlamlı olarak yüksekti (p=0,022). Mortalite obez ve fazla kilolu hastalarda normal kilolu hastalara göre daha yüksekti (p<0,001). Sonuç: BKİ yüksek olan hastalarda ağır pnömoni görülme sıklığının daha fazla, hastanede yatış süresinin daha uzun, yoğun bakıma yatış ve entübasyon ihtiyacının daha sık ve mortalitenin daha yüksek olduğu gözlendi. Aşılanmamış obez hastalarda ölüm oranı, tam aşı dozu alanlara göre daha yüksekti.

Objective: There are many studies in the literature showing that the course of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is worse in overweight and obese patients. We aimed to investigate the effect of high body mass index on treatment duration, intensive care unit requirement, and mortality in 271 patients with COVID-19. Material and Methods: Between September 1, 2021 and April 1, 2022, a retrospective observational cohort study was conducted in 271 patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS CoV-2) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positivity in nasooropharyngeal specimens. Demographic information, risk factors and underlying comorbidities, presenting symptoms, radiologic findings, length of hospital stay, and laboratory values were evaluated. We stratified patients according to body mass index and compared mortality, length of hospital stay, and laboratory values on day 7 or 10 of treatment with baseline for prognostication. Results: Of the patients, 61 (22.51%) were normal weight, 92 (33.95%) were overweight, and 118 (43.54%) were obese. The rate of lung involvement was higher in obese patients compared to non-obese patients (p=0.005), and the mean length of hospital stay was significantly higher in obese patients (12.4±7.7) compared to non-obese patients (10.3±3.4) (p=0.022). Mortality was higher in obese and overweight patients than in patients with normal BMI (p<0.001). Conclusion: Patients with a higher BMI had a higher incidence of severe pneumonia, longer hospital stays, more intensive care unit admissions and intubation, and higher mortality. Mortality was higher in unvaccinated obese patients than in those who received a full dose of vaccine.
