The association of obesity defined by metabolic status with readmission of female patients with NHL. A Readmission rates of female patients with NHL by the number of days following discharge from index hospitalization, stratified by metabolically defined obesity. The symbol * meant that the readmission rates of the two groups were significantly different at the 0.05 level after the Bonferroni correction. B Kaplan-Meier curve for readmission of female NHL patients, stratified by metabolically defined obesity. C COX regression was conducted to assess the association between metabolically defined obesity status and readmission of female patients with NHL. Factors adjusted in the COX regression: Model1: age, sex; Model2: Model1+ discharge disposition, discharge month, local hospital admission, household income, emergency department service, insurance type, and location of residence; Model3: Model2+ CCI. Abbreviations: MHNO, metabolically healthy non-obese; MUNO, metabolically unhealthy non-obese; MHO, metabolically healthy obese; MUO, metabolically unhealthy obese
