Belly size may predict ICU survival better than BMI

NCT ID NCT07631429

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a measurement called Body Roundness Index (BRI), which uses waist size and height, can predict death in adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Researchers will measure BRI in 550 adults when they enter the ICU and track their outcomes, including death, time on a breathing machine, and length of stay. The goal is to see if BRI is a better predictor than the commonly used Body Mass Index (BMI).
