Introduction: Body mass index (BMI) can predict mortality in critically ill patients. Moreover, mortality is related to increased bilirubin levels. Thus, herein, we aimed to investigate the effect of bilirubin levels on the usefulness of BMI in predicting mortality in critically ill patients. Methods: Data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC IV) database. Patients were divided into two groups according to their total bilirubin levels within 24 h. Cox proportional hazard regression models were applied to obtain adjusted hazard ratios and 95 % confidence intervals for the correlation between BMI categories and hospital mortality. The dose–response relationship was flexibly modeled using a restricted cubic spline (RCS) with three knots. Results: Of the 14376 patients included, 3.4 % were underweight, 29.3 % were of normal body weight, 32.2 % were overweight, and 35.1 % were obese. For patients with total bilirubin levels |
