| Abstract | 1. Consider defining overweight, obese and morbidly obese when you first mention them in lines 6-9.You can then save the space later in the abstract. Response: Thank you very much for the suggestion. We have defined overweight, obese and morbidly obese when we first mention them in the abstract (Page 4, lines 6-9). The details are as follows: “We aimed to evaluate the associations between overweight (25 kg/m2 < BMI ≤ 29.9 kg/m2), obese (30 kg/m2 < BMI ≤ 39.9 kg/m2) and morbidly obese (BMI > 40 kg/m2) BMIs and outcomes in septic patients.” 2.
