The impact of body mass index on one-year mortality after spinal cord injury.

Future studies should explore factors that contribute to such a higher mortality after SCI, such as preexisting conditions and comorbidities. The effects of BMI on long-term mortality also deserve further investigation. PMID: 31729925 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
