Abstract Purpose Obesity may alter the severity of infection with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). Age may impact the association between body weight and severity of COVID‐19 in patients with obesity. The aim of the study was to examine the association between obesity and severity of infection in a Danish cohort hospitalized with COVID‐19 in the initial wave of the pandemic. Patients and methods Based on data from the nationwide, clinical database: COVID‐DK, risks of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), and mortality were compared among patients with and without obesity. Interaction with age was examined and we used Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting regression for confounder adjustment. Results Among 524 patients, 142 (27%) were admitted to the ICU, 112 (21%) required IMV, and 109 (21%) died. Compared to COVID‐19 patients without obesity, patients with obesity displayed a non‐significant increased risk of ICU admission (Relative Risk [RR] 1.19, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 0.88; 1.60), IMV (RR 1.23, CI 0.86; 1.75) and mortality (RR 1.21, CI 0.84; 1.75). COVID‐19 patients with obesity, |
