Figure 2. Forest plot comparing mortality between the body composition monitor use group and the control group for overhydration. A random-effects model pooling of the results showed that detection of OH using BCM was significantly associated with an increased mortality (OR, 1.79; 95% CI, 1.53–2.80).
