Association between body mass index and severe infection in older adults with microscopic polyangiitis: a retrospective cohort in Japan

Association between body mass index and severe infection in older adults with microscopic polyangiitis: a retrospective cohort in Japan

Abstract Background Although previous studies have evaluated risk factors for the incidence of severe infection in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV), the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and severe infection in AAV has not been elucidated.
