Popis: Background: Overweight and hyperglycemia might result in poor prognosis in patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP). XueBiJing treatment could significantly improve the outcomes of patients with SCAP. We investigated the efficacy of XueBiJing injection in patients with SCAP stratified by body mass index (BMI) and fasting blood glucose (FBG).Methods: This is a post hoc analysis of XueBiJing trial, a large prospective, randomized, controlled study conducted in 33 hospitals in China. We compared data from non-overweight (BMI 0.05).Conclusion: Overweight or hyperglycemia might weaken the efficacy of XueBiJing injection in the treatment of SCAP as indicated by the significant elevated risk of 28-day mortality. Additional studies are needed to validate our findings and to further understand the underlying mechanisms.
