Relationship of Obesity with Mortality in Hospitals among Patients Planned for Coronary Intervention

Abstract

Aim: Multiple studies have shown obesity to be related with augmented mortality and morbidity, as well as other cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes, hyperlipidaemia and hypertension. Therefore, we are investigating the relationship between obesity and in-hospital mortality among patients planned for coronary intervention (PCI). Place and Duration: In the Cardiology department of Peoples University of Medical and Health Sciences For Women PUMHSW (SBA) Nawabshah, for one-year duration from July 2020 to July 2021. Methods: 138 patients (69 obese, 69 non-obese) aged 30-70 years were included in the research using a purposive, non-probability sampling technique from the cardiology department. The body mass index of all patients was recorded and patients with BMI above 30 kg / m2 were deliberated as obese, and individuals with BMI less than 30 kg / m2 were deliberated as non-obese. All patients who endured percutaneous coronary intervention were included in the study. Group I comprised of obese and non-obese patients in group II. Results: To determine the obesity relationship with in-hospital mortality among patients planned for coronary intervention (PCI), a total of 138 cases (69 obese and 69 non-obese) were included that met the inclusion / exclusion criteria. When the age grouping was performed, 17.4% (n = 12) of the obese group and 24.6% (n = 17) of the non-obese group were between the ages of 30 and 50, while 82.6% (n = 57) in the obese group and 75. 4% (n = 52) in the non-obese group were 51- 70 years of age, the mean ± SD was calculated as 55.25+8.10 years in the obese group and 57.97+7.52 years in the non-obese group. The mean BMI was calculated as 34.46±4.31 in the obese group and 28.91±5.37 in the non-obese group Conclusion: We concluded that there is no association between obesity and in-hospital mortality in patients enduring coronary intervention (PCI).
