| Core Tip |
There exists a notion that there is an obesity paradox in the prognosis of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Wang et al’s research findings substantiate this statement. However, our analysis reveals that this notion is influenced by numerous confounding factors, including age, chronic pulmonary diseases, and pathogens. Wang et al’s research lacked rigor in defining obesity and insufficient data on confounding factors. Thus, we recommend future research to categorize CAP patients more precisely and consider multiple factors to elucidate the exact role of body mass index in CAP prognosis. |
