💡 Also notable:
Underweight & normal-weight groups had the longest median LOS (5 days)
Overweight patients saw highest total charges (~$53K) despite shorter stays.

After adjusting for confounders:
Underweight status was associated with 38% higher odds of mortality vs. normal weight (OR=1.38)
Overweight & obesity were protective, with class I obesity showing 46% lower odds of mortality (OR=0.54). Could higher BMI actually help in #CAD outcomes?

Here’s the kicker:
Underweight patients had the highest in-hospital mortality (6.8%),
Normal weight: 5.2%
Overweight: 3.2%
Class III obese: 2.5%
Class I & II obese: ~1.9% - 1.8%
Yes, mortality was lowest in obese groups! Curious why?
