A recent study conducted by researchers at New York Medical College explored the "obesity paradox" in patients with intracranial hemorrhage, revealing that individuals with class I-II obesity had more favorable clinical outcomes compared to those with a healthy weight or overweight. The study analyzed data from 13,380 obese patients and found that they had a shorter length of stay, reduced inpatient mortality, and more favorable discharge disposition. Despite the association of obesity with risk factors for intracranial hemorrhage, the findings support the existence of the obesity paradox in stroke cases. [Extracted from the article] |
