Cubic spline showing the association between body mass index and in-hospital death in the sensitivity analyses. a Sensitivity analysis 1: treating the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as a linear continuous variable in the multivariable-adjusted model. b Sensitivity analysis 2: multivariable-adjusted analysis after excluding those with the length of stay of ≤ 2 days. c Sensitivity analysis 3: multivariable-adjusted analysis using multiple imputations for missing values of smoking history and body mass index. d Sensitivity analysis 4: multivariable-adjusted analysis performed after excluding those complicated with acute kidney injury on admission
