We hypothesized that body mass index and the type of initial respiratory support applied are associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients who carry respiratory failure-associated diagnoses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a retrospective analysis of de-identified patient data obtained from the Virtual PICU System database (2009\u20132018). We included subjects 2\u201318 y old who received bi-level positive airway pressure\/CPAP or high-flow nasal cannula as the initial respiratory support and were assigned respiratory failure-associated diagnoses (ie, acute hypoxic respiratory failure). The study population was divided into 2 body mass index percentile groups, underweight\/healthy weight (&lt; 85th percentile) and overweight\/obese (\u2265 85th percentile), and subjects were evaluated for the following outcomes: endotracheal intubation requirement, medical and physical PICU length of stay, and mortality scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 1,721 subjects were included: 1,091 (63.4%) underweight\/healthy weight and 630 (36.6%) overweight\/obese. Body mass index percentile was not associated with the initial respiratory support utilized (odds ratio 0.961 [95% CI 0.79\u20131.17],\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .73). Multivariable logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the odds of requiring endotracheal intubation (odds ratio 1.60 [95% CI 1.10\u20132.35],\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .02) were significantly higher in overweight\/obese subjects initially placed on high-flow nasal cannula. Body mass index and bi-level positive airway pressure\/CPAP therapy were both positively associated with medical and physical PICU length of stay, Pediatric Risk of Mortality Score 3 (PRISM3) scores, and Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 (PIM2) scores when separate multivariable models were fit for these 4 response variables.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The selection of respiratory support may place overweight\/obese pediatric patients at higher risk for endotracheal intubation. Due to methodological limitations, we were unable to draw conclusions about the initial approach to the respiratory management of overweight\/obese pediatric patients.
