THE ASSOCIATION OF OBESITY WITH COVID-19 SEVERITY AND MORTALITY: SYSTEMIC REVIEW AND META-REGRESSION

ABSTRACT

The severity in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, such as the requirement of invasive mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit admission with obesity was the chief outcome. Our aim is to estimate the association of obesity with severity and all-cause mortality in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. All-cause mortality in COVID-19 hospitalized patients with obesity was the secondary outcome.
