Cost-effectiveness and safety of continuous pulse oximetry for management of undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea in bariatric surgery: a nationwide cohort study. Surg Obes Relat Dis 2024:S1550-7289(24)00676-2. [PMID: 39127531 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2024.06.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Undetected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly prevalent in patients undergoing bariatric surgery and increases perioperative risks. Screening for OSA using preoperative polygraphy (PG) with subsequent continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is costly and time-consuming. Postoperative continuous pulse oximetry (CPOX) is less invasive, and is hypothesized to be a safe and cost-effective alternative. OBJECTIVES This nationwide multicenter prospective observational cohort study compared CPOX monitoring with OSA-screening using PG. SETTING High-volume bariatric centers. METHODS Patients were either postoperatively monitored using CPOX without preoperative OSA-screening, or underwent preoperative PG and CPAP treatment when OSA was diagnosed. Cohort placement was based on local hospital protocols. Cost-effectiveness was analyzed using quality adjusted life years (QALYs) and healthcare costs. Surgical outcomes were also analyzed. Propensity score matching was used in sensitivity analyses. RESULTS A total of 1390 patients were included. QALYs were similar between groups at baseline and 1-year postoperatively. Postoperative complications, intensive care unit (ICU)-admissions and admissions, particularly OSA-related, did not differ between groups. Mean costs per patient/year in the CPOX group was €3094 versus €3680 in the PG group; mean difference €-586 (95% CI €-933-€-242). Following propensity score matching, 1090 of 1390 included patients remained, and similar findings for cost-effectiveness, complications, and ICU admissions were observed. CONCLUSION CPOX monitoring without preoperative OSA-screening was not associated with higher complication or readmission rates compared to PG. CPOX resulted in lower costs from a healthcare perspective and can therefore be considered a cost-effective alternative to routine OSA-screening in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

Abstract
The upper airway experiences mechanical loads during breathing. Obstructive sleep apnea is a very common sleep disorder, in which the normal function of the airway is compromised, enabling its collapse. Its treatment remains unsatisfactory with variable efficacy in the case of many surgeries. Finite element models of the upper airway to simulate the effects of various anatomic and physiologic manipulations on its mechanics could be helpful in predicting surgical success. Partial 3D finite element models based on patient-specific CT-scans were undertaken in a pilot study of 5 OSA patients. Upper airway soft tissues including the soft palate, hard palate, tongue, and pharyngeal wall were segmented around the midsagittal plane up to a width of 2.5 cm in the lateral direction. Simulations of surgical interventions such as Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), maxillo-mandibular advancement (MMA), palatal implants, and tongue implants have been performed. Our results showed that maxillo-mandibular advancement (MMA) surgery of 1 cm improved the critical closing pressure by at least 212.2%. Following MMA, the best improvement was seen via uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), with an improvement of at least 19.12%. Palatal and tongue implants also offered a certain degree of improvement. Further, we observed possible interacting mechanisms that suggested simultaneous implementation of UPPP and tongue stiffening; and palatal and tongue stiffening could be beneficial. Our results suggest that computational modeling is a useful tool for analyzing the influence of anatomic and physiological manipulations on upper airway mechanics. The goal of personalized treatment in the case of OSA could be achieved with the use of computational modeling.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity is associated with alterations in cardiac structure and haemodynamics leading to cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Culminating evidence suggests improvement of cardiac structure and function following bariatric surgery. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of bariatric surgery on cardiac structure and function in patients before and after bariatric surgery. METHODS Systematic review and meta-analysis of studies reporting pre- and postoperative cardiac structure and function parameters on cardiac imaging in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. RESULTS Eighty studies of 3332 patients were included. Bariatric surgery is associated with a statistically significant improvement in cardiac geometry and function including a decrease of 12.2% (95% CI 0.096-0.149; p < 0.001) in left ventricular (LV) mass index, an increase of 0.155 (95% CI 0.106-0.205; p < 0.001) in E/A ratio, a decrease of 2.012 mm (95% CI 1.356-2.699; p < 0.001) in left atrial diameter, a decrease of 1.16 mm (95% CI 0.62-1.69; p < 0.001) in LV diastolic dimension, and an increase of 1.636% (95% CI 0.706-2.566; p < 0.001) in LV ejection fraction after surgery. CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery led to reverse remodelling and improvement in cardiac geometry and function driven by metabolic and haemodynamic factors.

Abstract
Obesity is highly prevalent in patients with renal disease, as it contributes to or accelerates the progression of kidney disease and is frequently a barrier to kidney transplantation. Patients with renal disease have unique dietary needs due to various metabolic disturbances resulting from altered processing and clearance of nutrients. They also frequently present with physical disability, resulting in difficulty achieving adequate weight loss through lifestyle modifications. Therefore, kidney transplant candidates may benefit from bariatric surgery, particularly sleeve gastrectomy (SG), as the safest, most effective, and long-lasting weight loss option to improve comorbidities and access to transplantation. However, concerns regarding nutritional risks prevent broader dissemination of SG in this population. No specific guidelines tailored to the nutritional needs of patients with renal disease undergoing SG have been developed. Moreover, appropriate monitoring strategies and interventions for muscle loss and functional status preservation, a major concern in this at-risk population, are unknown. We aimed to summarize the available literature on the nutritional requirements of patients with renal disease seeking SG as a bridge to transplantation. We also provide insight and guidance into the nutritional management pre and post-SG.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity has been linked to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a widespread chronic liver ailment, as well as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The development of NAFLD is influenced by repeated intermittent hypoxia, a feature of OSA. METHODS This systematic review (SR) investigated CENTRAL, PubMed, and EMBASE databases. The endpoint of this SR was to assess which OSA-related indicators could predict the presence of NAFLD and the effect of bariatric metabolic surgery (BMS) on improving OSA and NAFLD over time. RESULTS Compared to previous SRs published in 2013, 14 new publications were added to our SR, alongside studies conducted prior to 2013. The SR ultimately included 28 studies (18 cross-sectional and 10 cohort trials). In the majority of studies, significant correlations were observed between OSA, OSA-related outcomes, and NAFLD. However, the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) alone proved to be an inadequate predictor of NAFLD. Instead, respiratory and metabolic changes were found to alleviate oxidative stress induced by hypoxemia. Six studies involved patients who underwent BMS, with one evaluating patients before and after BMS, revealing associations between increased OSA and NAFLD improvement following BMS. Six months after surgery, 100% of patients in the mild-to-moderate OSA group were free from fatty liver, and an 89% reduction was observed in the severe OSA group. CONCLUSION For the first time, BMS has been tested in treating both OSA and NAFLD pre and postoperative with positive results. Further research, ideally with histological and functional data, is needed to confirm these findings. The SR identified 14 distinct liver outcome tests; however, high heterogeneity and incomplete data precluded a meta-analysis. It is imperative to pay greater attention to the influence of OSA-related factors and uniformity in liver outcomes testing concerning NAFLD. To accomplish this, study designs should be enhanced by incorporating more comprehensive pre- and postoperative evaluations, extending follow-up periods, and employing a more consistent methodology for liver diagnosis in patients with obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies evaluated the effect of bariatric surgery on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) but findings have been inconsistent. The aim of this study was to conduct an updated systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effect of bariatric surgery on OSA. METHODS The databases for PubMed, CENTRAL, and Scopus were searched up to the 1st of December, 2021. Studies were included if they were cohort or case-control in design, included patients with diagnosis of OSA, the patients underwent any bariatric surgery, and the study performed postoperative polysomnography. RESULTS The total number of the included patients was 2310 patients with OSA from 32 studies. Our analysis showed that bariatric surgery was associated with significant reduction in BMI (WMD = - 11.9, 95%CI: - 13.4, - 10.4), apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) (WMD = - 19.3, 95%CI: - 23.9, - 14.6), and respiratory disturbance index (RDI) (WMD = - 33.9, 95%CI: - 42.1, - 25.7). The rate of OSA remission after the surgery was 65% (95%CI: 0.54, 0.76). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that bariatric surgeries are effective in reducing obesity among patients with OSA in addition to OSA severity measures. However, the low rate of OSA remission suggests that the main etiology of OSA is not only obesity but also includes other important variables such as the anatomy of the jaw.

Abstract
Obesity is a chronic disease affecting over 670 million adults globally, with multiple complications including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Substantial weight loss in patients with obesity-related OSA can reduce or even eliminate OSA as well as reduce sleepiness and improve cardio-metabolic health. Evidence suggests that these improvements exceed those that occur with device-based OSA therapies like continuous positive airway pressure which continue to be the first-line of therapy. Resistance to weight management as a first-line strategy to combat OSA could arise from the complexities in delivering and maintaining adequate weight management, particularly in sleep clinic settings. Recently, incretin-based pharmacotherapies including glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists alone or combined with glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists have been developed to target glycemic control in type 2 diabetes. These medications also slow gastric emptying and reduce energy intake. In randomized, placebo-controlled trials of these medications in diabetic and non-diabetic populations with obesity, participants on active medication lost up to 20% of their body weight, with corresponding improvements in blood pressure, lipid levels, physical functioning, and fat mass loss. Their adverse effects are predominantly gastrointestinal-related, mild, and transient. There are trials currently underway within individuals with obesity-related OSA, with a focus on reduction in weight, OSA severity, and cardio-metabolic outcomes. These medications have the potential to substantially disrupt the management of OSA. Pending coming data, we will need to consider pharmacological weight loss as a first-line therapy and how that influences training and management guidelines.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In fast-track metabolic surgery, the window to identify complications is narrow. Postoperative checklists can be useful tools in the decision-making of safe early discharge. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of a checklist used in metabolic surgery. METHODS Retrospective data from June 2018 to January 2021 was collected on all patients that underwent metabolic surgery in a high-volume bariatric hospital in the Netherlands. Patients without an available checklist were excluded. The primary outcome was major complications and the secondary outcomes were minor complications, readmission, and unplanned hospital visits within 30 days postoperatively. RESULTS Major complications within 30 days postoperatively occurred in 62/1589 (3.9%) of the total included patients. An advise against early discharge was significantly more seen in patients with major complications compared to those without major complications (90.3% versus 48.1%, P < 0.001, respectively), and a negative checklist (advice for discharge) had a negative predictive value of 99.2%. The area under the curve for the total checklist was 0.80 (P < 0.001). Using a cut-off value of ≥3 positive points, the sensitivity and specificity were 65% and 82%, respectively. Individual parameters from the checklist: oral intake, mobilization, calf pain, willingness for discharge, heart rate, drain (>30 ml/24 h), hemoglobin, and leukocytes count were also significantly different between groups. CONCLUSION This checklist is a valuable tool to decide whether patients can be safely discharged early. Heart rate appeared to be the most predictive parameter for the development of major complications. Future studies should conduct prediction models to identify patients at risk for major complications.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and a Comprehensive Remotely Supervised Rehabilitation Program: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial. JMIR Res Protoc 2023; 12:e47460. [PMID: 37721786 PMCID: PMC10546260 DOI: 10.2196/47460] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent, intermittent partial or complete obstruction of the upper respiratory tract during sleep, which negatively affects the patient's daily quality of life (QoL). Middle-aged and older men who smoke and have obesity are most at risk. Even though the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) during sleep remains the gold standard treatment, various rehabilitation methods, such as exercise, respiratory therapy, myofunctional therapy, and nutritional lifestyle interventions, also appear to be effective. Moreover, it is increasingly recommended to use alternative or additional therapy options in combination with CPAP therapy. OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate if a comprehensive home-based, remotely supervised rehabilitation program (tele-RHB), in combination with standard therapy, can improve OSA severity by decreasing the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI); improve objective parameters of polysomnographic, spirometric, anthropometric, and body composition examinations; improve lipid profile, maximal mouth pressure, and functional capacity tests; and enhance the subjective perception of QoL, as well as daytime sleepiness in male participants with moderate to severe OSA. Our hypothesis is that a combination of the tele-RHB program and CPAP therapy will be more effective by improving OSA severity and the abovementioned parameters. METHODS This randomized controlled trial aims to recruit 50 male participants between the ages of 30 and 60 years with newly diagnosed moderate to severe OSA. Participants will be randomized 1:1, either to a 12-week tele-RHB program along with CPAP therapy or to CPAP therapy alone. After the completion of the intervention, the participants will be invited to complete a 1-year follow-up. The primary outcomes will be the polysomnographic value of AHI, Epworth Sleepiness Scale score, 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) score, percentage of body fat, 6-minute walk test distance covered, as well as maximal inspiratory and expiratory mouth pressure values. Secondary outcomes will include polysomnographic values of oxygen desaturation index, supine AHI, total sleep time, average heart rate, mean oxygen saturation, and the percentage of time with oxygen saturation below 90%; anthropometric measurements of neck, waist, and hip circumference; BMI values; forced vital capacity; forced expiratory volume in 1 second; World Health Organization's tool to measure QoL (WHOQOL-BREF) score; and lipid profile values. RESULTS Study recruitment began on October 25, 2021, and the estimated study completion date is December 2024. Analyses will be performed to examine whether the combination of the tele-RHB program and CPAP therapy will be more effective in the reduction of OSA severity and improvement of QoL, body composition and circumferences, exercise tolerance, lipid profile, as well as respiratory muscle and lung function, compared to CPAP therapy alone. CONCLUSIONS The study will evaluate the effect of a comprehensive tele-RHB program on selected parameters mentioned above in male participants. The results of this intervention could help the further development of novel additional therapeutic home-based options for OSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation and interpretation of the literature on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) allows for consolidation and determination of the key factors important for clinical management of the adult OSA patient. Toward this goal, an international collaborative of multidisciplinary experts in sleep apnea evaluation and treatment have produced the International Consensus statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (ICS:OSA). METHODS Using previously defined methodology, focal topics in OSA were assigned as literature review (LR), evidence-based review (EBR), or evidence-based review with recommendations (EBR-R) formats. Each topic incorporated the available and relevant evidence which was summarized and graded on study quality. Each topic and section underwent iterative review and the ICS:OSA was created and reviewed by all authors for consensus. RESULTS The ICS:OSA addresses OSA syndrome definitions, pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors for disease, screening methods, diagnostic testing types, multiple treatment modalities, and effects of OSA treatment on multiple OSA-associated comorbidities. Specific focus on outcomes with positive airway pressure (PAP) and surgical treatments were evaluated. CONCLUSION This review of the literature consolidates the available knowledge and identifies the limitations of the current evidence on OSA. This effort aims to create a resource for OSA evidence-based practice and identify future research needs. Knowledge gaps and research opportunities include improving the metrics of OSA disease, determining the optimal OSA screening paradigms, developing strategies for PAP adherence and longitudinal care, enhancing selection of PAP alternatives and surgery, understanding health risk outcomes, and translating evidence into individualized approaches to therapy.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common breathing disorder in sleep in which the airways narrow or collapse during sleep, causing obstructive sleep apnea. The prevalence of OSAS continues to rise worldwide, particularly in middle-aged and elderly individuals. The mechanism of upper airway collapse is incompletely understood but is associated with several factors, including obesity, craniofacial changes, altered muscle function in the upper airway, pharyngeal neuropathy, and fluid shifts to the neck. The main characteristics of OSAS are recurrent pauses in respiration, which lead to intermittent hypoxia (IH) and hypercapnia, accompanied by blood oxygen desaturation and arousal during sleep, which sharply increases the risk of several diseases. This paper first briefly describes the epidemiology, incidence, and pathophysiological mechanisms of OSAS. Next, the alterations in relevant signaling pathways induced by IH are systematically reviewed and discussed. For example, IH can induce gut microbiota (GM) dysbiosis, impair the intestinal barrier, and alter intestinal metabolites. These mechanisms ultimately lead to secondary oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, and sympathetic activation. We then summarize the effects of IH on disease pathogenesis, including cardiocerebrovascular disorders, neurological disorders, metabolic diseases, cancer, reproductive disorders, and COVID-19. Finally, different therapeutic strategies for OSAS caused by different causes are proposed. Multidisciplinary approaches and shared decision-making are necessary for the successful treatment of OSAS in the future, but more randomized controlled trials are needed for further evaluation to define what treatments are best for specific OSAS patients.

Heart Lung 2023; 58:144-151. [PMID: 36516532 PMCID: PMC9992262 DOI: 10.1016/j.hrtlng.2022.12.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2022] [Revised: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 12/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are bi-directional relationships between sleep disturbances and obesity, both of which are prevalent in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, little is known about the sleep-obesity association in HFpEF. OBJECTIVES To determine associations of multidimensional sleep health, night movement, sleep fragmentation, and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) risk with overall and regional adiposity in HFpEF patients. METHODS Men and women with HFpEF (n = 49) were assessed via 14-day actigraphy, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Epworth Sleepiness Scale to derive multidimensional sleep health. SDB risk was assessed via Berlin Questionnaire. Body composition was measured using anthropometry; MRI quantification of epicardial, abdominal, liver, and thigh adipose tissue was performed in a subsample (n = 22). Spearman correlation (rs) and linear regression analyses (β coefficient) were used to estimate bivariate and age-adjusted associations. RESULTS Multidimensional sleep health was inversely associated with BMI (rs = -0.50, p < .001; unadjusted: β = -4.00, 95%CI: -5.87, -2.13; age-adjusted: β = -2.48, 95%CI: -4.65, -0.30), thigh subcutaneous adipose tissue (rs = -0.50, p = .018; unadjusted: β = -36.95, 95%CI: -67.31, -6.59), and thigh intermuscular fat (age-adjusted: β = -0.24, 95%CI: -0.48, -0.01). Night movement and sleep fragmentation were associated with greater intermuscular thigh and lower liver fat. High SDB risk was associated with a higher visceral-to-subcutaneous ratio of abdominal adiposity and lower thigh adiposity. CONCLUSIONS Adverse multidimensional sleep health is associated with higher adiposity measures in HFpEF patients. Further studies are needed to determine whether intervening on sleep could ameliorate excess adiposity or whether weight loss could improve sleep quality in HFpEF.

Potential Use of SGLT-2 Inhibitors in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A new treatment on the horizon. Sleep Breath 2023; 27:77-89. [PMID: 35378662 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-022-02606-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/22/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by hypoxic episodes due to collapse of the airway during sleep and is frequently associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). There is currently no pharmacological agent approved for the treatment of OSA. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have the potential to both increase life expectancy and quality of life of these patients making them promising agents for this role. There are relatively few studies investigating this possible beneficial relationship between these drugs and OSA. METHOD We aimed to increase awareness on the potential benefits of SGLT2 inhibitors in OSA patients by describing the current evidence on the effectiveness of these inhibitors in both overall and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We performed a literature search for articles reporting on the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with OSA and T2DM. RESULTS We identified 4 manuscripts studying the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in 475 OSA patients with T2DM. Among them, 332 patients were administered SGLT2 inhibitors, and 143 patients were in a control group. SGLT2 inhibitors have many potential positive impacts on OSA patients by targeting various mechanisms involved in OSA pathogenesis. CONCLUSION SGLT2 inhibitors are prime pharmacological candidates for the treatment of OSA, and additional studies are needed to better explore mechanisms and outcomes unique to this population. Additionally, patients with OSA often have multiple comorbidities that are clinical indications for SGLT2 inhibitor therapy. Physicians should recognize and encourage the use of these agents in such patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In comparison to conservative therapy, bariatric surgery has shown many reasonable results. The current study investigates whether Omega-loop-gastric-bypass (OAGB) or Roux-en-Y gastric-bypass (RYGB) improves weight loss, comorbidities, and perioperative complications. METHODS The study included 28,683 patients after RYGB and OAGB. Outcome criteria were perioperative morbidity, perioperative complications, and remission of comorbidities after one year of follow-up. RESULTS Of them 14,253 patients had completed a one-year follow-up (13,483 patients by RYGB and 770 by OAGB). BMI reduction was a significant difference in favor of OAGB (17.5±5.6 kg/m2 for OAGB vs. 15.2±5.0 for RYGB; P<0.001). The %EWL was not significantly different between the two groups (P=0.073). There was also no significant difference in perioperative complications between the two groups (overall P>5%). Significant differences in favor of OAGB were observed in remission of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) (P<0.001), and sleep apnea (P=0.002). Remission of reflux was more observed in RYGB than OAGB (P<0.001). Operating time was significantly higher in RYGB than OAGB (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Compared with RYGB, OAGB showed significant advantages in many respects. In particular, remission of comorbidities was significantly better after OAGB than in patients after RYGB during the one-year follow-up period. Nevertheless, many other factors such as medical history, long-term expected goals of bariatric surgery, and preexisting comorbidities should be taken into account when determining indications between the two procedures. Further studies with longer follow-up periods should be conducted to determine the efficacy of the two methods more accurately.

Abstract
Obesity is considered a twentieth-century epidemic and is a growing concern among health professionals. Obesity and its complications contribute to multiple chronic illnesses, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), metabolic syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), malignancy, and cardiovascular and liver diseases. In the last two decades, a bidirectional association between OSA and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), independent of obesity, has been established. Both conditions have similar risk factors and metabolic comorbidities that may imply a common disease pathway. This review compiles the evidence and delineates the relationship between OSA and MAFLD from a clinical and diagnostic aspect.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sleep deprivation is associated with growth hormone deficiency and an elevated cortisol level, both of which have been linked to obesity. However, assessing sleep quality is often not established in the multidisciplinary peribariatric evaluation program. This study aimed to determine sleep quality in patients who are seeking or underwent bariatric surgery by using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) measurements. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this observational study, patients who underwent or were seeking bariatric surgery between April and November 2021 were included. Self-reported patients' demographics, operative techniques, and sleep quality measured by PSQI were collected. Baseline characteristics were compared between the preoperative group (PRE), patients who underwent surgery < 1.5 years ago (EARLY), and > 1.5 years ago (LATE). A multivariate linear regression model was built. RESULTS In total, 270 patients filled out the questionnaire of which 100 (37.1%) were preoperative, 87 (32.2%) early, and 83 (30.7%) late postoperative. The PSQI significantly improved in the EARLY group compared to PRE (4.8 vs 6.1). This effect disappeared in the LATE group (6.1) even though their body mass index was less. Linear regression revealed that age (p = 0.004) and body mass index (p = 0.003) predicted worse sleep quality. CONCLUSION Sleep quality improves early after bariatric surgery; however, this benefit does not seem to last in the long term. Other factors than weight regain should be considered for this finding, future studies with longer follow-up periods are recommended, including other variables associated with sleep quality such as health conditions and socioeconomic status.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES A high body mass index (BMI) is a risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea. However, to our knowledge there is no reported equation that quantifies the relationship between weight, as measured by BMI, and apnea severity, as assessed by the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Our objective was to find a mathematical relationship between BMI and AHI. METHODS We prospectively recruited 434 veterans from our polysomnography laboratory. Veterans already undergoing a sleep study were approached, and those who consented were enrolled. The veterans who enrolled in our study also participated in their scheduled sleep study. This study was approved by our institutional review board. RESULTS We found a simple mathematical relationship between BMI and AHI: for every 1-point drop in BMI (corresponding to 5-8 pounds, depending on a person's height), AHI decreases by 6.2%. And limiting BMI to 25-40 kg/m2 (which includes about 80% of the BMIs), then AHI drops by 7.1%. Simply put as a rule of thumb: For every 7-pounds drop in weight, expect a 7% drop in AHI. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first simple mathematical equation that associates the severity of weight with the severity of apnea in veterans. This equation can be a practical rule of thumb that can be implemented in clinics to predict the amount of weight a patient needs to lose to decrease their apnea, which might help motivate patients to lose weight.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study examined the association of weight loss following bariatric surgery with self-reported sleep quality after accounting for other sleep-related factors. METHODS Participants were from the Bariatric Experience Long Term (BELONG) study. Participants completed a survey up to 6 months before surgery and approximately 1 year after surgery. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to measure sleep quality. One-year percentage total weight loss (%TWL) was determined from electronic medical records. Covariates included demographics, Charlson Comorbidity Index, geocoded variables to assess neighborhood quality, and physical activity. The authors assessed the association between %TWL at 1 year and PSQI component scores with separate cumulative logit models. RESULTS There were 997 participants in the analytic cohort. Participants were 86.2% women, 37.0% Hispanic, and 13.7% Black adults. Mean one-year %TWL was 26.3 (SD 8.7). Each 1% increase in %TWL was associated with a 3% better daytime dysfunction score (odds ratio = 1.03; 95% CI: 1.02-1.05) and a 2% better sleep quality score (odds ratio = 1.02; 95% CI: 1.00-1.03). No significant differences were found for the other PSQI components. CONCLUSIONS Weight loss from bariatric surgery was associated with better self-reported sleep at 1 year. For people undergoing bariatric surgery, there may be an added benefit of better sleep.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity is a chronic disease with a complex interplay of multiple factors such as genetic, metabolic, behavioral, and environmental factors. The management of obesity includes; lifestyle modification, psychological therapy, pharmacological therapy, and bariatric surgery. To date, bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for obesity by offering a long-term reduction in weight, remission of obesity-related complications, and improving quality of life. However, bariatric surgery is not equally effective in all patients. Thus, if we can predict who would benefit most, it will improve the risk versus benefit ratio of having surgery. AREAS COVERED In this narrative review, we explore the question on who will benefit the most from bariatric surgery by examining the recent evidence in the literature. In addition, we investigate the predisposing predictors of bariatric surgery response. Finally, we offer the best strategies in the clinic to explain the potential benefits of bariatric surgery to patients. EXPERT OPINION Bariatric surgery is an effective obesity management approach. Despite its efficacy, considerable variation of individual response exists. Thus, it is important to recognize patients that will benefit most, but at present very few predictors are available which can be clinically useful.

Can Weight Loss Improve the Cardiovascular Outcomes of Patients with Obesity and Obstructive Sleep Apnea? HEARTS 2022.

Abstract
Cardiovascular events are the primary cause of mortality in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and obesity. The rising prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea in recent decades has been linked to increasing rates of obesity. Obstructive sleep apnea has also been linked with many different cardiovascular diseases including coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, hypertension, and atrial fibrillation. Obesity is an increasing health concern globally, in part because obesity complications such as hypertension, diabetes, and obstructive sleep apnea increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. More than 10% weight loss may be required to prevent or reverse obesity complications. Treatment approaches to obesity include nutritional therapy, exercise therapy, pharmacotherapy, and surgical therapies. This review intends to identify the effects of weight loss on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with obesity and obstructive sleep apnea. Despite the strong association between cardiovascular diseases and obstructive sleep apnea, randomized trials have failed to demonstrate that treatment of obstructive sleep apnea reduces cardiovascular events, even in patients with established cardiovascular diseases. Weight loss in patients with obstructive sleep apnea improves HbA1c, systolic blood pressure, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, but thus far no changes in cardiovascular events have been shown. The combination of weight loss with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) appears more beneficial than either treatment in isolation. Large well-controlled trials in patients with obstructive sleep apnea to assess the effects of different weight reduction programs on cardiovascular disease are still needed.

Abstract
Background In the current century, sleep apnoea has become a significant public health problem due to the obesity epidemic. To increase awareness, improve diagnostics, and improve treatment, Finland implemented a national sleep apnoea programme from 2002 to 2010. Here, we present changes in the societal burden caused by sleep apnoea from 1996 to 2018. Methods National register data were collected from the Care Register for Health Care, Statistics Finland, the Social Insurance Institution of Finland, and the Finnish Centre for Pensions. Disease prevalence, use of healthcare and social services, and societal costs were estimated. Findings The number of sleep apnoea patients increased in secondary care from 8 600 in 1996 to 61 000 in 2018. There was a continuous increase in outpatient visits in secondary care from 9 700 in 1996 to 122 000 in 2018 (1 160%) and in primary care from 10 000 in 2015 to 29 000 in 2018 (190%). Accordingly, the cumulative annual number of days off work for sleep apnoea increased from 1 100 to 46 000. However, disability pensions for sleep apnoea decreased from 820 to 550 (33%) during the observation period. Societal costs per patient decreased over 50% during the observation period (€2 800 to €1 200). Interpretation The number of sleep apnoea patients in Finland increased remarkably during the observation period. To control this burden, diagnostic methods and treatment were revised and follow up was reorganised. Consequently, there was a significant decrease in societal costs per patient. The decrease in disability pensions suggests earlier diagnosis and improved treatment. The national sleep apnoea programme was one of the initiators for these improved outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Time restricted feeding (TRF) involves deliberately restricting the times during which energy is ingested. Preliminary findings suggest that 8-10-h TRF improves sleep. However, the effects of shorter TRF windows (4-6 h) on sleep, remain unknown. AIMS This study compared the effects of 4-h versus 6-h TRF on sleep quality, duration, insomnia severity and the risk of obstructive sleep apnea. METHODS Adults with obesity (n = 49) were randomized into one of three groups: 4-h TRF (eating only between 3 and 7 p.m.), 6-h TRF (eating only between 1 and 7 p.m.), or a control group (no meal timing restrictions) for 8 weeks. RESULTS After 8 weeks, body weight decreased (p < 0.001) similarly by 4-h TRF (-3.9 ± 0.4 kg) and 6-h TRF (-3.4 ± 0.4 kg), versus controls. Sleep quality, measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), did not change by 4-h TRF (baseline: 5.9 ± 0.7; week 8: 4.8 ± 0.6) or 6-h TRF (baseline: 6.4 ± 0.8; week 8: 5.3 ± 0.9), versus controls. Wake time, bedtime, sleep duration and sleep onset latency also remained unchanged. Insomnia severity did not change by 4-h TRF (baseline: 4.4 ± 1.0; week 8: 4.7 ± 0.9) or 6-h TRF (baseline: 8.3 ± 1.2; week 8: 5.5 ± 1.1), versus controls. Percent of participants reporting obstructive sleep apnea symptoms did not change by 4-h TRF (baseline: 44%; week 8: 25%) or 6-h TRF (baseline: 47%; week 8: 20%), versus controls. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that 4- and 6-h TRF have no effect on sleep quality, duration, insomnia severity, or the risk of obstructive sleep apnea.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disease that results from loss of upper airway muscle tone leading to upper airway collapse during sleep in anatomically susceptible persons, leading to recurrent periods of hypoventilation, hypoxia, and arousals from sleep. Significant clinical consequences of the disorder cover a wide spectrum and include daytime hypersomnolence, neurocognitive dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, metabolic dysfunction, respiratory failure, and pulmonary hypertension. With escalating rates of obesity a major risk factor for OSA, the public health burden from OSA and its sequalae are expected to increase, as well. In this chapter, we review the mechanisms responsible for the development of OSA and associated neurocognitive and cardiometabolic comorbidities. Emphasis is placed on the neural control of the striated muscles that control the pharyngeal passages, especially regulation of hypoglossal motoneuron activity throughout the sleep/wake cycle, the neurocognitive complications of OSA, and the therapeutic options available to treat OSA including recent pharmacotherapeutic developments.

Abstract
Aims Obesity is a global health problem, associated with significant morbidity and mortality, often due to cardiovascular (CV) diseases. While bariatric surgery is increasingly performed in patients with obesity and reduces CV risk factors, its effect on CV disease is not established. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of bariatric surgery on CV outcomes, in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guideline. Methods and results PubMed and Embase were searched for literature until August 2021 which compared bariatric surgery patients to non-surgical controls. Outcomes of interest were all-cause and CV mortality, atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure (HF), myocardial infarction, and stroke. We included 39 studies, all prospective or retrospective cohort studies, but randomized outcome trials were not available. Bariatric surgery was associated with a beneficial effect on all-cause mortality [pooled hazard ratio (HR) of 0.55; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.49–0.62, P < 0.001 vs. controls], and CV mortality (HR 0.59, 95% CI 0.47–0.73, P < 0.001). In addition, bariatric surgery was also associated with a reduced incidence of HF (HR 0.50, 95% CI 0.38–0.66, P < 0.001), myocardial infarction (HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.43–0.76, P < 0.001), and stroke (HR 0.64, 95% CI 0.53–0.77, P < 0.001), while its association with AF was not statistically significant (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.64–1.06, P = 0.12). Conclusion The present systematic review and meta-analysis suggests that bariatric surgery is associated with reduced all-cause and CV mortality, and lowered incidence of several CV diseases in patients with obesity. Bariatric surgery should therefore be considered in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE Obesity is associated with the development and progression of many diseases. Understanding and management of obesity have become increasingly important; however, a knowledge gap remains between how healthcare providers (HCPs) consider weight-loss treatment and the importance of weight loss for improving obesity-related diseases. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate how HCPs assess obesity, how they interpret the relationship between obesity and 12 recognized co-morbidities of obesity (excluding diabetes), and their view about the value of various weight-loss therapies. METHODS This was a cross-sectional, non-interventional, descriptive study. Participants were medical doctors (HCPs) from eight European countries. RESULTS Eighty-nine percent of the 197 HCPs that completed the survey considered obesity a disease. For most of the 12 obesity-related diseases under consideration, a majority of HCPs agreed that weight loss could reverse the disease or prevent progression. Among HCPs who have recommended weight loss, lifestyle interventions were by far the most common recommendation. However, more than three out of four HCPs stated that they would be likely to prescribe anti-obesity medications if available and reimbursed. CONCLUSION Most HCPs in this survey consider obesity a disease that needs to be treated. However, the majority of HCPs appear to prefer recommending lifestyle changes, although it is well documented that weight loss obtained by lifestyle changes is difficult to maintain. These results underscore the need for improved education of HCPs involved in the treatment of obesity-related diseases.

Abstract
Obesity has grown to become a major health problem over the past few decades. Obesity-related comorbidities, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, and dyslipidemia, are inextricably linked with increased adverse clinical consequences and mortality. Compared with other strategies for obesity, bariatric surgery is efficient in weight loss and has been proved to exert positive effects on obesity-related risk factors. This broad improvement in risk factors has resulted in substantial remission or reductions of comorbidities and better performance on clinical outcomes, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and mortality. With the development of surgical procedures, the safety of bariatric surgery has been validated and the rate of peri-operative death is low all over the world. Nonetheless, surgeons ought to be careful about potential complications, such as nutrition deficiencies, psychological disorders, or new digestive tract tumors after surgery. For patients with obesity, bariatric surgery might be a precious and crucial tool to bring additional benefits including comorbidities protection and life span extension. All patients with obesity should be engaged in a union consultation group to select a suitable treatment.

Abstract
Access to bariatric surgery to treat obesity is limited and has long wait times. Many adults are seeking nonsurgical weight loss support. Our study objective was to conduct a systematic review of nonsurgical weight loss interventions. PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycInfo, and the CochraneLibrary were searched. Inclusion criteria were adults 18 + with a BMI > 25 enrolled in minimum a 3-month nonsurgical weight loss intervention. Studies were independently extracted and assessed for quality using A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews 2 (AMSTAR2). Pooled analyses were extracted, graded for evidence quality, and summarized. A total of 1065 studies were assessed for eligibility; 815 screened and 236 full-texts assessed. Sixty-four meta-analyses met eligibility criteria: 1180 RCTs with 184,605 study participants. Studies were categorized as diets (n = 13), combination therapies (n = 10), alternative (n = 16), technology (n = 10), behavioral (n = 5), physical activity (n = 6), and pharmacotherapy (n = 3). In 80% of studies, significant weight losses were reported ranging from 0.34-8.73 k in favor of the intervention. The most effective nonsurgical weight loss interventions were diets, either low-carbohydrate or low-fat diets, followed for 6 months; combination therapy including meal replacements plus enhanced support; and pharmacotherapy followed for 12 months. Although significant weight losses were reported for other types of interventions such as physical activity and technology, the majority of studies reported weight losses less than 2 kgs.

[PMID: 34684490 PMCID: PMC8539054 DOI: 10.3390/nu13103489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2021] [Revised: 09/26/2021] [Accepted: 09/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
This review examines the effects of two popular intermittent fasting regimens on sleep in adults with overweight and obesity. Specifically, the effects of time restricted eating (TRE; eating all food within a 4-10 h window) and alternate day fasting (ADF; 600 kcal fast day alternated with ad libitum feast day) on sleep quality, sleep duration, sleep latency, sleep efficiency, insomnia severity, and risk of obstructive sleep apnea, will be summarized. The role of weight loss will also be discussed. Results from our review reveal that the majority of these trials produced weight loss in the range of 1-6% from baseline. Sleep quality and sleep duration remained unaltered with TRE and ADF, as assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The effects of intermittent fasting on sleep latency and sleep efficiency are mixed, with one study showing worsening of these parameters, and others showing no effect. Insomnia severity and the risk of obstructive sleep apnea remained unchanged in the trials assessing these metrics. Taken together, these preliminary findings suggest that TRE and ADF produce mild to moderate weight loss (1-6%) but their effects on sleep remain unclear. Solid conclusions are difficult to establish since participants in the studies had healthy sleep durations and no clinical insomnia at baseline, leaving little room for improvement in these metrics. Moreover, none of the trials were adequately powered to detect statistically significant changes in any measure of sleep. Future well-powered trials, conducted in individuals with diagnosed sleep disturbances, will be necessary to elucidate the effect of these popular diets on sleep.

A Comparative Analysis of Fleur-de-Lis and Traditional Panniculectomy after Bariatric Surgery. Aesthetic Plast Surg 2021; 45:2208-2219. [PMID: 33544187 DOI: 10.1007/s00266-021-02149-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2020] [Accepted: 01/17/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The Fleur-de-Lis panniculectomy (FdL) adds a vertical component to correct complex contour deformities after massive weight loss by addressing supra-umbilical horizontal skin excess which is not addressed with infra-umbilical transverse panniculectomy (TP). We aim to perform a head-to-head comparison of clinical outcomes and patient reported outcomes (PROs) between FdL and TP. METHODS A retrospective review of patients ≥18 with a history of bariatric surgery undergoing FdL or TP by a single plastic surgeon between 07/01/2015 and 05/31/2020 was conducted. Surgical site occurrences (SSOs) including surgical site infection (SSI), delayed healing, cellulitis, seroma, hematoma, surgical site occurrences requiring procedural intervention (SSOpi), and a composite of other postoperative outcomes were assessed. In addition, patient satisfaction was analyzed using the Body-Q questionnaire across 12 domains. RESULTS The analysis included 56 patients; 26 and 30 patients who were treated with FdL and TP, respectively. Cohorts were statistically similar in terms of age, gender, BMI, and co-morbid conditions. The overall complication rate was 50% (FdL n = 14 (53.9%), TP n = 14 (46.7%); p = 0.592). On multivariate analysis, pannus weight was associated with the development of SSO (p = 0.04). FdL incision, however, was not an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes. Absolute improvement in PROs was similar in both cohorts across multiple domains. CONCLUSION FdL showed a comparable safety and efficacy profile to TP when performed in post-bariatric surgery patients, with equivalent improvement in PROs across multiple domains. Preoperative weight loss should be encouraged in this population as pannus weight is an independent risk factor for complications.

Surg Obes Relat Dis 2021; 17:1576-1582. [PMID: 34187745 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2021.05.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2021] [Revised: 05/10/2021] [Accepted: 05/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is strongly associated with metabolic syndrome. Bariatric surgery is an effective available treatment for OSA; however, limited research predicts which patients undergoing bariatric surgery will undergo OSA resolution. OBJECTIVES To determine perioperative predictors for OSA resolution following bariatric surgery using a national database. SETTING United Kingdom national bariatric surgery database. METHODS The UK National Bariatric Surgery Registry (NBSR) was interrogated to identify all patients with OSA that underwent primary bariatric surgery between January 2009 and June 2017. Those with at least 1 follow-up recording postoperative OSA status were selected for further analysis. Demographic, pre- and postoperative outcomes were collected and analyzed. Poisson multivariate regression was conducted to identify predictors of OSA remission. RESULTS A total of 4015 bariatric cases were eligible for inclusion: 2482 (61.8%) patients underwent laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB), 1196 (29.8%) sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), and 337 (8.4%) adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). Overall, the mean excess weight loss (EWL) % for the whole group was 61.2 (SD ± 27.2). OSA resolution was recorded in 2377 (59.2%) patients. Following Poisson regression, LRYGB (risk ratio [RR], 1.49 confidence interval [CI] 1.25-1.78) and LSG (RR, 1.46 [CI 1.22-1.75] were associated with approximately 50% increased likelihood of OSA remission compared with LAGB. Greater weight loss following intervention was associated with greater likelihood of OSA remission, while both greater age and greater preoperative body mass index (BMI) were associated with reduced likelihood of OSA remission (P < .001). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that metabolic surgery results in OSA remission in the majority of patients with obesity. Younger age, lower BMI preprocedure, greater %EWL and the use of LSG or LRYGB positively predicted OSA remission.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a complex medical disorder with significant impact on mortality, quality of life, and long-term cardiovascular outcomes. The apnea-hypopnea index does not correlate well with either quality-of-life measures or health outcomes, so other outcome measures must be evaluated in treatment of OSA. OSA can be successfully treated through behavioral, nonsurgical, and surgical methods with improvements in quality of life, morbidity, and mortality. Surgical intervention should be considered in patients who are noncompliant with or fail positive airway pressure use. As is true with PAP therapy, surgery for OSA improves mortality and symptoms of OSA even when the polysomnogram does not fully normalize.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bariatric surgery improves several obesity-related comorbidities. Laryngotracheal stenosis is a rare condition that is usually managed with repeated endoscopic airway interventions and reconstructive airway surgery. The outcome of these definitive operations is worse in individuals with obesity. There are no studies investigating the effect of weight loss following bariatric surgery in the management of laryngotracheal stenosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS In an observational study, consecutive patients with a BMI over 35 kg/m2 and laryngotracheal stenosis were prospectively recruited to a bariatric and airway stenosis database in two tertiary care centres. Patients were treated with laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy and control subjects were managed conservatively. RESULTS A total of eleven patients with an initial body mass index of 43 kg/m2 (37-45) were enrolled to this study. Six patients underwent bariatric surgery and five subjects were treated conservatively. After 12 months, the total weight loss of patients undergoing bariatric surgery was 19.4% (14-24%) whilst 2.3% (1-3%) in the control group. The annual number of endoscopic airway interventions following bariatric surgery reduced (p = 0.002). Higher weight loss in patients led to less frequent interventions compared to control subjects (p = 0.004). Patients undergoing laryngotracheal reconstruction following bariatric surgery needed less endoscopic intervention, an annual average of 1.9 interventions before vs 0.5 intervention after. Conservatively managed control subjects required more frequent endoscopic intervention, 1.8 before vs 3.4 after airway reconstruction. CONCLUSION Bariatric surgery reduced the number of endoscopic airway interventions and enabled patients to undergo successful definitive airway reconstructive surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hematoma affects 10% to 13% of patients undergoing panniculectomy. Although elevated perioperative blood pressure has been associated with hematoma after rhytidectomy, this has not been established for panniculectomy. We sought to determine the impact of perioperative blood pressure on hematoma development in patients undergoing panniculectomy. METHODS A retrospective review was performed on patients undergoing isolated panniculectomy procedures. Blood pressure parameters recorded included systolic blood pressures (SBPs), diastolic blood pressures (DBPs), and mean arterial pressure. The mean, peak, and trough blood pressure values were recorded. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative blood pressures were recorded, and differences between phases were calculated. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were performed. RESULTS One hundred forty-three patients were identified, which included 84% (n = 120) women and 17% (n = 23) men. A history of hypertension was present in 55% (n = 79) of patients, of which 91% (n = 72) were medically controlled. Preoperative antiplatelet or anticoagulation was used in 21% (n = 31) of patients. Seven patients (5%) developed a hematoma, of which 5 required operative drainage. Development of hematoma was not associated with patient, surgical, or postoperative pain variables. There was an association between hematoma and elevated postoperative blood pressures on univariate and multivariate analyses. The mean peak SBP in the hematoma group was 160 mm Hg in comparison to 141 mm Hg in the nonhematoma group. For each 10-mm Hg increase in postoperative peak SBP, the odds of a hematoma increased by 2.8 times. When comparing phases of care, hematoma patients had similar intraoperative and postoperative peak SBP, but their postoperative SBP was 19 mm Hg higher than preoperative baseline. Conversely, nonhematoma patients had a postoperative blood pressure that was similar to their preoperative baseline and 20 mm Hg lower than their intraoperative values. CONCLUSIONS Hematoma is associated with elevated postoperative blood pressures. A postoperative mean peak SBP of 160 mm Hg was associated with hematoma, and for each 10 mm Hg, the risk of hematomsa increased by 2.8 times. The risk of hematoma may be reduced by strict postoperative blood pressure control. We recommend a postoperative peak SBP goal of 140 mm Hg or less, with a value equal to or less than their preoperative baseline and 20 mm Hg lower than their intraoperative pressure.

The influence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome on anthropometric parameters at 12 months after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Sci Rep 2021; 11:5781. [PMID: 33707630 PMCID: PMC7952692 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-85192-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2020] [Accepted: 02/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the influence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on the change in anthropometric parameters and body composition, in patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). This prospective study included patients undergoing LSG who had pre-operative polysomnography data and were also evaluated at six and 12 months after surgery. All patients included also had whole body composition analysis data before surgery and at six and 12 months after surgery. The results are presented in comparison between patients with and without OSAS. We included 73 patients in the analysis with a mean ± SD age and body mass index (BMI) of 40.3 ± 10.9 years and 45.4 ± 6.3 kg/m2, respectively. As compared to the baseline levels, at 6 months there was a significant decrease in BMI, weight, waist circumference, serum glucose and HbA1c. At 12 months there was no further decrease as compared to the 6 months levels, irrespective of OSAS status. We observed a significant decrease at 6 months in percentage of fat, in both types of patients. However, as compared to the 6 months levels, at 12 months the percent fat had a significant decrease only in patients without OSAS (− 4.6%, 95% CI − 7.6 to − 1.7%) and not in those with OSAS (− 2.2%, 95% CI − 4.5 to 0.2%). In our study, patients with OSAS showed a similar decrease in different anthropometric parameters as those without OSAS after LSG. However, at 12 months of follow-up there was a significant decrease in the percent fat only in patients without OSAS.

Abstract
Obesity is a chronic multisystem disease associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The increasing prevalence of obesity makes it a major healthcare challenge across both developed and developing countries. Traditional measures such as body mass index do not always identify individuals at increased risk of comorbidities, yet continue to be used in deciding who qualifies for weight loss treatment. A better understanding of how obesity is associated with comorbidities, in particular non-metabolic conditions, is needed to identify individuals at risk in order to prioritize treatment. For metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), weight loss can prevent T2D in individuals with prediabetes. It can improve and reverse T2D if weight loss is achieved early in the course of the disease. However, access to effective weight loss treatments is a significant barrier to improved health for people with obesity. In the present paper, we review the rising prevalence of obesity and why it should be classed as a multisystem disease. We will discuss potential mechanisms underlying its association with various comorbidities and how these respond to treatment, with a particular focus on cardiometabolic disease, malignancy and mental health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients are at high risk of postoperative complications following bariatric surgery. The aim of our study was to compare peri- and postoperative outcomes in OSA patients awaiting laparoscopic bariatric surgery who were prescribed CPAP treatment or not before surgery using nocturnal home oximetry and capillary blood gas measurements. METHODS Data on 1094 eligible patients were analyzed. In accordance with our algorithm, those with ODI < 25/h and pCO2 < 45 mmHg (358 mild/moderate apnea and 447 non-apneic) underwent surgery without previous treatment, whereas those with an ODI ≥ 25/h (n = 289) were prescribed CPAP. We compared peri- and postoperative outcomes in treated and untreated patients. RESULTS Treated patients were significantly older with a higher body mass index and a higher percentage of men than non-apneic and untreated OSA. Hypertension and diabetes were significantly more prevalent in the treated and untreated OSA patients than in the non-apneic. Regarding the occurrence of cardiopulmonary complications, the incidence of cardiac arrhythmia was higher in the treated patients than in the non-apneic and the untreated OSA (2.4%; 0.6 and 0.5%, p = 0.03). The slightly longer length of hospital stay seen in treated patients compared to those of other groups (2.8 ± 1.7; 2.6 ± 2.1 and 2.6 ± 1.8 days, p = 0.03) was no longer observed after adjusting for age and BMI. CONCLUSIONS There is no risk increase for complications following bariatric surgery in untreated patients presenting mild/moderate OSA identified by a noninvasive screening algorithm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known regarding obstructive sleep apnea's (OSA's) prevalence or the factors related to OSA remission post-metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) in adolescents. OBJECTIVES To identify the baseline OSA prevalence in adolescents with severe obesity and examine factors associated with post-MBS OSA remission. SETTING Tertiary-care children's hospital. METHODS We conducted a retrospective chart review of 81 patients pre-MBS with OSA assessments done between June 2017 to September 2020 to collect demographic characteristics; co-morbidities; polysomnography (PSG) results, if indicated; and weight data. Chi-square or Mann-Whitney tests compared baseline characteristics and surgical outcomes by pre-MBS OSA status. McNemar's test or t tests assessed differences in baseline characteristics, stratified by remission versus no remission of OSA. RESULTS The patients were 71% female, had an average age of 16.9 ± 2.0 years, and had a mean body mass index (BMI) of 47.9 ± 7.3 kg/m2. Half (50%) of the patients were Hispanic and 20% had type 2 diabetes. The OSA prevalence, defined as an Obstructive Apnea Hypopnea Index (OAHI) score ≥5, was 54% pre-MBS (n = 44), with 43% having severe OSA (OAHI > 30). Those with OSA were older (17.3 versus 16.4 yr, respectively; P = .05), more likely to be male (79% versus 42%, respectively; P = .022), and had higher baseline weights (142.0 versus 126.4 kg, respectively; P = .001) than those without OSA. Of the 23 patients with a post-MBS PSG result (average 5 mo post MBS), 15 (66%) had remission of OSA. Patients with OSA remission had a lower average pre-MBS BMI (46.0 versus 57.7 kg/m2, respectively; P < .001) and weight (132.9 versus 172.6 kg, respectively; P = .002) but no significant differences in percentage weight loss through 12 months post MBS versus those with continued OSA. CONCLUSION The OSA prevalence in an adolescent MBS population was higher than that in the general adolescent population with severe obesity. Remission of OSA was correlated with lower pre-MBS BMI and weight, but not weight loss within the first year post-MBS.

Abstract
We explored potential biomarkers and molecular mechanisms regarding multiple benefits after bariatric surgery. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for subcutaneous adipose tissue (AT) after bariatric surgery were identified by analyzing two expression profiles from the GEO. Subsequently, enrichment analysis, GSEA, PPI network, and gene-microRNAs and gene-TFs networks were interrogated to identify hub genes and associated pathways. Co-expressed DEGs included one that was up-regulated and 22 that were down-regulated genes. The enrichment analyses indicated that down-regulated DEGs were significantly involved in inflammatory responses. GSEA provided comprehensive evidence that most genes enriched in pro-inflammation pathways, while gene-sets after surgery enriched in metabolism. We identified nine hub genes in the PPI network, most of which were validated as highly expressed and hypomethylated in obesity by Attie Lab Diabetes and DiseaseMeth databases, respectively. DGIdb was also applied to predict potential therapeutic agents that might reverse abnormally high hub gene expression. Bariatric surgery induces a significant shift from an obese pro-inflammatory state to an anti-inflammatory state, with improvement in adipocyte metabolic function – representing key mechanisms whereby AT function improves after bariatric surgery. Our study deepens a mechanistic understanding of the benefits of bariatric surgery and provides potential biomarkers or treatment targets for further research.

Abstract
PURPOSE There are no criteria to establish priority for bariatric surgery candidates in the public health system in several countries. The aim of this study is to identify preoperative characteristics that allow predicting the success after bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four hundred and sixty-one patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass were included. Success of the surgery was defined as the sum of five outcome variables, assessed at baseline and 12 months after the surgery: excess weight loss, use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) as a treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), daily number of antidiabetics, daily number of antihypertensive drugs, and all-cause mortality. Partial least squares (PLS) regression and multiple linear regression were performed to identify preoperative predictors. We performed a 90/10 split of the dataset in train and test sets and ran a leave-one-out cross-validation on the train set and the best PLS model was chosen based on goodness-of-fit criteria. RESULTS The preoperative predictors of success after bariatric surgery included lower age, presence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and OSA, more years of CPAP/BiPAP use, negative history of cardiovascular disease, and lower number of antihypertensive drugs. The PLS model displayed a mean absolute percent error of 0.1121 in the test portion of the dataset, leading to accurate predictions of postoperative outcomes. CONCLUSION This success index allows prioritizing patients with the best indication for the procedure and could be incorporated in the public health system as a support tool in the decision-making process.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Santoro's operation is a sleeve gastrectomy with transit bipartition. The aim of the procedure is to keep pass to the duodenum to decrease nutritional deficiency and to allow endoscopic management of obstructive jaundice. To be easier, this procedure was rapidly altered to a single anastomosis sleeve ileal bypass (SASI). In this study, we shifted the anastomosis up to the jejunum to evaluate the effect of laparoscopic single anastomosis sleeve jejunal (SASJ) bypass as a treatment for morbid obesity and related comorbidities. In addition, the effect of the SASJ procedure on nutritional deficiency was examined. METHODS In this study, 150 morbidly obese patients underwent SASJ bypass with a biliary limb length of 200-250 cm. All patients were followed up at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. We evaluated all cases by assessing BMI, complications, nutritional status, and obesity-related comorbidities. RESULTS The mean age of participants was 30.6 years, and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 44.6 kg/m2. Of the patients, 35 (23.2%) had type two diabetes and 47 (31.3%) were hypertensive. Postoperative bleeding occurred in two cases (1.3%). One patient developed a gastric leak (0.7%), and five patients developed biliary gastritis (3.3%). One patient (0.7%) developed a pulmonary embolism. The %EWL reached 85% in 1 year. Normalization of blood glucose occurred within 2 months after surgery in all diabetic patients. Hypertension underwent remittance in 89% of hypertensive patients. All patients were gradually weaned from four types of multivitamin regimens to only one multivitamin regimen without apparent nutritional deficiency. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic SASJ bypass is an effective, safe, and simple procedure for treating morbid obesity and comorbid conditions with least nutritional deficiency. However, long-term studies are needed.

Abstract
Background:
Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder involving, intermittent
mechanical obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. Obesity is the most powerful risk factor for
obstructive sleep apnea.
Objective:
This study aimed to investigate the long-term effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass bariatric
surgery on patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Methods:
This study included patients were referred for bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass)
to control symptoms and complications of obesity during a 5-year period. An overnight sleep study
was performed for each patient before and after the bariatric surgery, to study its effect on different
obstructive sleep apnea-related variables.
Results:
This study included 179 patients (mean age 35.9 ± 10.7 years). The mean duration from preoperative
assessment to postoperative assessment was 2.4 ± 2.2 years. The mean change in body
mass index and weight showed a decrease of 16.0 ± 16.0 kg/m2 and48.7 ± 25.9 kg, respectively. The
apnea hypopnea index decreased by a mean of 22.6 ± 26.3 events/hour.
Conclusion:
We concluded that a decrease in the body mass index by 1 kg/m2 could predict a
decrease in the apnea hypopnea index by 0.46 events/hour. Moreover, after mean follow-up duration
of 2.4 years, 84.3% of mild and 83.3% of moderate obstructive sleep apnea patients became normal
postoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine changes in thyroid hormones and morphology with weight loss after bariatric surgery in obese patients. METHODS This prospective study was performed in our endocrinology and surgery clinic. Pre- and post-bariatric surgery thyroid function tests and thyroid ultrasonography parameters were compared. RESULTS Four hundred seventy-two patients were included in the study. Mean weight loss after surgery was 30.7 ± 5.1 kg. TSH levels decreased statistically significantly parallel with weight loss and decreased BMI (p = 0.025) after bariatric surgery. However, no statistically significant change was observed in fT4 or fT3 levels (p > 0.05). A significant increase in thyroid parenchyma echogenicity, correlated with weight loss and time elapsed since surgery, was detected at ultrasonography (US) grayscale histogram analysis compared with muscle echogenicity (p = 0.032). An increase in echogenicity was even detected in patients with isoechoic thyroid parenchyma before surgery. Fasting insulin and HOMA-IR levels decreased after surgery (p = 0.010 and p = 0.001, respectively). Patients were divided into three groups based on weight loss. In group 3, preoperative TSH of 4.1 ± 0.7 decreased to 1.6 ± 0.7 postoperatively (p = 0.001), while preoperative HOMA-IR of 4.9 ± 1.9 decreased to 2.4 ± 0.8 postoperatively (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Obesity causes thyroid hormone resistance through a mechanism similar to insulin resistance and leads to an increase in TSH similar to hyperinsulinemia. Our findings show that echogenicity at thyroid US increases in line with weight loss following bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Background Obesity is associated with a higher incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF). Weight reduction improves outcomes in patients known to have AF. Objective The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of heart failure (HF) or first-time AF hospitalization in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery (BAS) vs other abdominal surgeries. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted using linked hospital discharge records from 1994–2014. Obese patients without known AF or atrial flutter (AFL) who had undergone abdominal hernia or laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery were identified for each case that underwent BAS (2:1). Clinical outcomes were HF, first-time hospitalization for AF, AFL, gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB), and ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. Outcomes were analyzed using conditional proportional hazard modeling accounting for the competing risk of death, adjusting for demographics and comorbidities. Results There were 1581 BAS cases and 3162 controls (48% age <50 years; 60% white; 79% female; mean CHA2DS2VASc score 1.6 ± 1.2) with follow-up of 66 months. Compared to controls, BAS cases had a significantly lower risk of new-onset AF (hazard ratio [HR] 0.71; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.54–0.93) or HF (HR 0.74; 95% CI 0.60–0.91) but a higher risk of GIB (HR 2.1; 95% CI 1.5–3.0), with no differences in AFL, ischemic stroke, or hemorrhagic stroke. Reduction in AF improved as follow-up increased beyond 60 months. Conclusion In patients undergoing BAS, the risk of either HF or AF was reduced by ∼29% but with greater risk of GIB. The findings support the hypothesis that weight loss reduces the long-term risk of HF or incident AF hospitalization.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects 17% of women and 34% of men in the US and has a similar prevalence in other countries. This review provides an update on the diagnosis and treatment of OSA. OBSERVATIONS The most common presenting symptom of OSA is excessive sleepiness, although this symptom is reported by as few as 15% to 50% of people with OSA in the general population. OSA is associated with a 2- to 3-fold increased risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disease. In many patients, OSA can be diagnosed with home sleep apnea testing, which has a sensitivity of approximately 80%. Effective treatments include weight loss and exercise, positive airway pressure, oral appliances that hold the jaw forward during sleep, and surgical modification of the pharyngeal soft tissues or facial skeleton to enlarge the upper airway. Hypoglossal nerve stimulation is effective in select patients with a body mass index less than 32. There are currently no effective pharmacological therapies. Treatment with positive airway pressure lowers blood pressure, especially in patients with resistant hypertension; however, randomized clinical trials of OSA treatment have not demonstrated significant benefit on rates of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE OSA is common and the prevalence is increasing with the increased prevalence of obesity. Daytime sleepiness is among the most common symptoms, but many patients with OSA are asymptomatic. Patients with OSA who are asymptomatic, or whose symptoms are minimally bothersome and pose no apparent risk to driving safety, can be treated with behavioral measures, such as weight loss and exercise. Interventions such as positive airway pressure are recommended for those with excessive sleepiness and resistant hypertension. Managing asymptomatic OSA to reduce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events is not currently supported by high-quality evidence.
