These modifiable risk factors are an important therapeutic target for improving outcomes for patients with DoC. The primary outcome was coma (GCS ≤ 8) at time of admission. Conclusions:We found that female gender, low hemoglobin, high body temperature, and elevated glucose at time of admission were all associated with coma.

Salvatore Carbone, PhD: First, I’d like to point out that obesity is a major risk factor for cardiometabolic disease. There are significant data that show that if you have obesity, you have a high risk of developing coronary heart disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes (T2D) or risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia.
