Abstract
In our analysis, severe obesity (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 ) was associated with ICU admission, whereas history of heart disease and obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 ) were independently associated with the use of IMV. Increased vigilance and aggressive treatment of patients with obesity and COVID-19 are warranted.
