Mortality and disease severity in different BMI classes. Upper panel: unadjusted observed mortality rates in the five BMI classes. Lower panel: APACHE III severity scores. For one study [9] the APACHE III score was not reported; therefore, the SAPS II predicted mortality is plotted (blue dashed line). This figure reports data from only the studies included in the two meta-analyses [14, 15] for which disease severity was available.
