Abstract
BACKGROUND Only 1% of Americans eligible for metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) receive MBS. Prior studies have analyzed primary care provider (PCP) referral patterns and perceptions of MBS as a potential barrier to increasing MBS. However, less data exists regarding PCP knowledge of MBS indications and outcomes. Following the 2022 update to the indications for MBS by the ASMBS and IFSO, the number of eligible patients is only expected to increase. We evaluated PCP knowledge regarding the existence of the 2022 ASMBS and IFSO updated guidelines, MBS indications, and MBS outcomes. METHODS An 11-question survey was emailed to primary care residents, advanced practice providers, and faculty at a single institution. RESULTS Of 151 surveys distributed, 39.7% responded (n = 60). 95% were unaware of the 2022 updated guidelines. On multiple choice questions, 16.3% correctly identified the average weight loss from MBS, and 46.8% correctly answered the diabetes remission rate following MBS. Trainee answers were not statistically significant from practicing PCPs. Fifteen respondents had referred a patient for MBS, but this subgroup did not perform significantly better on the assessment. A total of 72.3% of respondents reported inadequate MBS education during their training, and 85.1% were interested in additional education. CONCLUSIONS We present the first assessment of PCP MBS knowledge since the release of the 2022 updated ASMBS and IFSO guidelines. This study indicates a gap in PCPs' knowledge regarding the updated guidelines and represents an opportunity for collaboration with our primary care colleagues to provide further MBS education.

Nutrients 2024; 16:2710. [PMID: 39203846 PMCID: PMC11357598 DOI: 10.3390/nu16162710] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2024] [Revised: 08/04/2024] [Accepted: 08/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/03/2024] Open
Abstract
After bariatric surgery lifelong follow-up is recommended. Evidence of the consequences and reasons for being lost to follow-up (LTFU) is sparse. In this prospective study follow-up data of all patients who underwent bariatric surgery between 2008 and 2017 at a certified obesity centre were investigated. LTFU patients were evaluated through a structured telephone interview. Overall, 573 patients (female/male 70.9%/29.1%), aged 44.1 ± 11.2 years, preoperative BMI 52.1 ± 8.4 kg/m2 underwent bariatric surgery. Out of these, 33.2% had type 2 diabetes mellitus and 74.4% had arterial hypertension. A total of 290 patients were LTFU, of those 82.1% could be reached. Baseline characteristics of patients in follow-up (IFU) and LTFU were comparable, but men were more often LTFU (p = 0.01). Reported postoperative total weight loss (%TWL) and improvements of comorbidities were comparable, but %TWL was higher in patients remaining in follow-up for at least 2 years (p = 0.013). Travel issues were mentioned as the main reason for being LTFU. A percentage of 77.6% of patients reported to regularly supplement micronutrients, while 71.0% stated regular monitoring of their micronutrient status, mostly by primary care physicians. Despite comparable reported outcomes of LTFU to IFU patients, the duration of the in-centre follow-up period affected %TWL. There is a lack of sufficient supplementation and monitoring of micronutrients in a considerable number of LTFU patients.

[PMID: 38619773 PMCID: PMC11127808 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-024-07227-z] [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: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 04/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Quality follow-up (FU) is crucial after bariatric surgery. However, poor adherence after surgery is prevalent. This research aimed to explore the factors related to FU adherence after bariatric surgery in West China. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study used a sequential explanatory mixed-methods research design. Participants (n = 177) were identified from the West China Hospital. Demographic information, disease profile, treatment information, and post-surgery FU information were obtained from the bariatric surgery database of the Division of Gastrointestinal Surgery of the West China Hospital. The survey data were analyzed using logistic regression. Semi-structured interviews with participants (n = 10) who had low adherence were conducted. The recording was transcribed verbatim and entered into qualitative data analysis software. Qualitative data were analyzed using a content analysis approach. RESULTS Multiple logistic regression revealed that living in Chengdu (OR, 2.308), being employed (OR, 2.532), non-smoking (OR, 2.805), and having less than five years of obesity (OR, 2.480) were positive predictors of FU adherence within one year. Semi-structured interviews suggested that factors related to adherence to FU were lack of motivation, lack of opportunity, insufficient ability, and beliefs regarding consequences. CONCLUSION Factors impacting one-year FU visit adherence after bariatric surgery include not only demographic and disease-related factors but also social and family factors. These results will provide evidence to support healthcare professionals in developing personalized postoperative FU management strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to analyze barriers to medical care and follow-up in patients with allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS). STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional questionnaire-based study with retrospective chart review. SETTING Tertiary Medical Center. METHODS Subjects with AFRS and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) were prospectively recruited for completion of the Barriers to Care Questionnaire (BCQ) and formal chart review. RESULTS Fifty-nine AFRS and 51 CRSwNP patients participated. AFRS patients were more likely to be lost to follow-up within 6 months of surgery (35.6% vs 17.7%, P = 0.04) and no-show at least 1 appointment (20.3% vs 5.9%, P = 0.03) compared to CRSwNP patients. Men with AFRS were more likely to have only a single follow-up visit (37.0% vs 3.1%, P < 0.001) and be lost to follow-up (66.7% vs 9.4%, P < 0.001) than women. There were no significant differences in the BCQ between groups; however, rate of questionnaire completion was lower in the AFRS group than the CRS group (62.7% vs 80.4%, P = 0.042). AFRS patients who did not complete the BCQ were more likely to be male (63.6% vs 35.1%, P = 0.034), lost to follow-up (77.3% vs 10.8%, P < 0.0001), and have a single follow-up visit (40.9% vs 5.4%, P < 0.0001). Younger age was associated with increased likelihood of having a single follow-up visit (odds ratio 1.143, 95% CI 1.022-1.276). CONCLUSION Young, male AFRS patients are more frequently lost to follow-up after surgery and less likely to complete questionnaires assessing barriers to care. Further investigation is needed to assess barriers to follow-up in these at-risk groups.

Abstract
Objective Adherence to lifestyle changes after bariatric surgery is associated with better health outcomes; however, research suggests that patients struggle to follow post-operative recommendations. This systematic review aimed to examine psychological factors associated with adherence after bariatric surgery. Methods PubMed, PsycInfo, and Embase were searched (from earliest searchable to August 2022) to identify studies that reported on clinically modifiable psychological factors related to adherence after bariatric surgery. Retrieved abstracts (n = 891) were screened and coded by two raters. Results A total of 32 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the narrative synthesis. Appointment attendance and dietary recommendations were the most frequently studied post-operative instructions. Higher self-efficacy was consistently predictive of better post-operative adherence to diet and physical activity, while pre-operative depressive symptoms were commonly associated with poorer adherence to appointments, diet, and physical activity. Findings were less inconsistent for anxiety and other psychiatric conditions. Conclusions This systematic review identified that psychological factors such as mood disorders and patients' beliefs/attitudes are associated with adherence to lifestyle changes after bariatric surgery. These factors can be addressed with psychological interventions; therefore, they are important to consider in patient care after bariatric surgery. Future research should further examine psychological predictors of adherence with the aim of informing interventions to support recommended lifestyle changes.

JOURNAL OF METABOLIC AND BARIATRIC SURGERY 2023; 12:1-10. [PMID: 37416853 PMCID: PMC10320437 DOI: 10.17476/jmbs.2023.12.1.1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023]
Abstract
Purpose After bariatric surgery, postoperative follow-up is important for evaluating long-term outcomes, such as successful weight loss and improvement of metabolic parameters. However, many patients are lost to follow-up within 1 year. This study aimed to identify the follow-up rate of bariatric surgery and predictive factors of loss to follow-up (LTF). Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed the data of 61 patients receiving bariatric surgery for obesity (laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy; LSG group) and 872 for early gastric cancer (EGC group) from November 2018 to July 2020 in a single center. After 1:1 matching, we compared the LTF rate. In the LSG group, we analyzed the factors associated with LTF. Additionally, we collected weight data in the LTF group by a telephone survey. Results By 1:1 matching, 47 patients for each group were identified. The LTF rates of the LSG and EGC groups were 34.0% (16 patients) and 2.1% (one patient), respectively (P=0.0003). In the LSG group, the LTF rate increased over the postoperative month. Of the patients, 29.5% who missed a scheduled appointment within one year comprised the LTF group. In the analysis, no significant factors associated with LTF were identified. The only factor with borderline significance was dyslipidemia with medication (P=0.094). Conclusion The LSG group demonstrated a high LTF rate, although adherence to follow-up was closely related to postoperative outcomes. Therefore, educating patients on the significance of follow-up is important. Particularly, continuous efforts to identify the associated factors and develop a multidisciplinary management protocol after bariatric surgery are necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The postoperative course after pediatric metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) cuts across a developmental phase when substance-use behaviors emerge as significant public health concerns. OBJECTIVE We examined use of marijuana, conventional cigarettes, and alternate tobacco products/devices (e.g., e-cigarettes, hookah, smokeless, dissolvable) in young adults (YA) to 6 years postsurgery. SETTING Five academic medical centers. METHODS In a prospective observational cohort series, 139 surgical (Mage = 16.9, Mbody mass index [BMI] = 51.5, 80% female, 66% white) and 83 nonsurgical comparisons (Mage = 16.1, MBMI = 44.9, 82% female, 54% white) completed assessments at presurgery/baseline and postsurgery years 2, 4, and 6 (year 6 [2014-2018]: surgical n = 123 [89%], Mage = 23.0, MBMI = 39.8; nonsurgical n = 63 [76%], Mage = 22.4, MBMI = 53.6). Lifetime and current (past 30 days) use were reported. RESULTS Consistent with national YA trends (2014-2018), the most commonly used were (1) conventional cigarettes (30% surgical, 41% nonsurgical, nonsignificant [ns]); (2) marijuana (25% surgical, 27% nonsurgical, ns); and (3) e-cigarettes (12% surgical, 10% nonsurgical). A sizable minority (26% surgical, 18% nonsurgical) used one or more alternate tobacco product/device. Many YA reported persistent and/or heavy use (e.g., >50% marijuana at year 6 and year 2 or 4; ≈50% ≥.5 pack/d of cigarettes), suggesting more established (versus intermittent) health risk behaviors. For the surgical group at year 6, current tobacco product/device use was associated with lower BMI (P < .001) and greater percent weight loss (P = .002). CONCLUSIONS Pediatric MBS demonstrates promise in lowering risks for adult chronic disease, which may be diminished by age-typical health risk behaviors. Developmentally salient and holistic pediatric postoperative care guidelines are needed.

Abstract
Postoperative hand therapy (HT) is important for regaining function and preventing complications in patients undergoing tendon repair of the hand and wrist. Loss to follow-up (LTFU) can hinder this process; so we sought to determine factors that predict attrition of these patients. Methods Charts were retrospectively reviewed for patients who underwent extensor or flexor tendon repair of the hand, wrist, or forearm between 2014 and 2019. Demographic data, including age, sex, zip code, employment status, education level, and insurance type, were collected, and the rate of LTFU was calculated. Logistic regression was used to analyze factors. Results A total of 149 patients were identified and analyzed. The rate of LTFU was 42%. Factors that predicted loss were younger age, male gender, lower educational degree, and a documented psychiatric history. Employment status, insurance type, and distance from the HT center did not predict attrition. The number of HT weeks recommended by the occupational therapist did not differ between those who were lost and those who were not. Lost patients completed, on average, 57% of their suggested HT course. Conclusions The current study identified demographic factors associated with attrition in patients undergoing tendon repair of the distal upper extremity. Factors included patients who were younger, male gender, less educated, and had a documented psychiatric history. By identifying factors that predict LTFU, specific strategies can be developed to reduce attrition rates, particularly for at-risk populations, to improve patient care after tendon repair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity Problem Scale (OP) is a widely applied instrument for obesity, however currently calculation of health utility based on OP is not feasible as it is not a preference-based measure. Using data from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg), we sought to develop a mapping algorithm to estimate SF-6D utility from OP. Furthermore, to test whether the mapping algorithm is robust to the effect of surgery. METHOD The source data SOReg (n = 36 706) contains both OP and SF-36, collected at pre-surgery and at 1, 2 and 5 years post-surgery. The Ordinary Least Square (OLS), beta-regression and Tobit regression were used to predict the SF-6D utility for different time points respectively. Besides the main effect model, different combinations of patient characteristics (age, sex, Body Mass Index, obesity-related comorbidities) were tested. Both internal validation (split-sample validation) and validation with testing the mapping algorithm on a dataset from other time points were carried out. A multi-stage model selection process was used, accessing model consistency, parsimony, goodness-of-fit and predictive accuracy. Models with the best performance were selected as the final mapping algorithms. RESULTS The final mapping algorithms were based on OP summary score using OLS models, for pre- and post-surgery respectively. Mapping algorithms with different combinations of patients' characteristics were presented, to satisfy the user with a different need. CONCLUSION This study makes available algorithms enabling crosswalk from the Obesity Problem Scale to the SF-6D utility. Different mapping algorithms are recommended for the mapping of pre- and post-operative data.

Abstract
Few studies have evaluated the association between non-clinical and clinical determinants in terms of discontinuing follow-up after bariatric surgery. This cohort study aims to assess these associations. Data were collected from a prospectively maintained database of patients who underwent laparoscopic bariatric surgery from January 2012 to December 2019. The Cox model was used to assess the influence of preoperative determinants on follow-up interruptions for more than one year. Multilevel logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between clinical factors and post-operative weight loss with the regularity of follow-up. During the study period, 9607 consultations were performed on 1549 patients. The factors associated with a follow-up interruption from more than 365 days included male gender (HR = 1.323; CI = 1.146−1.527; p = 0.001) and more recent years of intervention (HR = 1.043; CI = 1.012−1.076; p = 0.0068). Revisional bariatric surgery was associated with a lower risk of follow-up interruption (HR = 0.753; CI = 0.619−0.916; p = 0.0045). Independent risk factors of an irregular follow up were higher age (HR = 1.01; CI = 1.002−1.017; p = 0.0086); male gender (OR = 1.272; CI = 1.047−1.545; p = 0.0153); and higher %TWL (Total Weight Loss) (OR = 1.040 CI = 1.033−1.048 p < 0.0001). A higher preoperative BMI (OR = 0.985; CI = 0.972−0.998; p = 0.0263) and revisional surgery (OR = 0.707; CI = 0.543−0.922; p = 0.0106) were protective factors of irregularity. This study suggests that the male gender and most recent dates of surgery are the two independent risk factors for follow-up interruption. Older age, male gender, and higher weight loss were all independent risk factors of an irregular follow-up. Revision bariatric surgery is a protective factor against interruption and irregular follow-up with a higher preoperative BMI. Further studies are needed to obtain long-term results in these patients with discontinued follow-ups.

Any Postoperative Surveillance Improves Survival after Endovascular Repair of Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms. Ann Vasc Surg 2022; 80:50-59. [PMID: 34775012 PMCID: PMC8897248 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2021.09.047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Revised: 09/20/2021] [Accepted: 09/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) has advanced the care of patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA) with improved early postoperative morbidity and mortality. However, this comes at the cost of a rigorous postoperative surveillance schedule to monitor for further aneurysmal degeneration. Adherence to surveillance recommendations is known to be poor in the elective setting, but has yet to be studied in the ruptured population. The aim of this study is to investigate predictors of incomplete surveillance after EVAR for rAAA (rEVAR) and examine how adherence impacts outcomes. METHODS This was a retrospective case control study of patients undergoing rEVAR at a multiple hospital single healthcare center (2003-2020). Patients were excluded if they underwent open conversion during their index hospitalization or died within 60 days of surgery. Follow-up was broadly categorized as complete surveillance (60-day postoperative visit and annually thereafter) or incomplete surveillance, comprising both patients with less than recommended surveillance (minimal surveillance) and completely lost to follow-up (LTF). Any follow-up was defined as patients with complete or minimal surveillance. We investigated predictors of complete versus incomplete surveillance by multivariate logistic regression. Secondary outcomes included overall survival and cumulative incidence of reintervention controlling for the competing risk of mortality, generating hazard ratios (HR) and subdistribution hazard ratios (SHR). RESULTS One-hundred and sixty patients (mean age 74 ± 10.1 years, 81.2% male) out of 673 total rAAA met study inclusion criteria. Complete surveillance was seen in 41.3% of our cohort, with the remainder with minimal surveillance (29.4%) or LTF (29.4%). Incomplete surveillance was associated with male sex (odds ratio [OR] 2.56; 95% CI 1.02-6.43), lack of a primary care provider (PCP; OR 0.20; 95% CI 0.04-0.99), and longer driving distance from home to treating hospital (OR 2.37; 95% CI 1.08-5.20). Survival was not different between complete and incomplete surveillance groups, however any follow-up conferred improved survival over LTF (HR 0.57; 95% CI 0.331-0.997; P = 0.049). Reintervention was associated with incomplete surveillance (SHR 0.29; 95% CI 0.11-0.75), and discharge to a facility (SHR 0.25; 95% CI 0.067-0.94). CONCLUSIONS Incomplete surveillance was observed in over 50% of patients who underwent rEVAR and was associated with male sex, lack of PCP, and longer driving distance. Any follow-up conferred a survival benefit, yet incomplete surveillance was associated with a lower risk of reintervention. Targeted strategies to prevent LTF, and less stringent, personalized follow-up plans that may confer similar survival benefit with better patient adherence should be investigated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adherence to follow-up visits is often unsatisfactory after bariatric surgery. OBJECTIVES To identify predictors, including surgery type and preoperative demographics, body mass index (BMI), medical conditions, and smoking status, of 30-day follow-up visit completion. SETTING Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program participating centers (2015-2018). METHODS Patients who underwent primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy were included in this analysis. Data were analyzed using weighted logistic regression. Subanalyses included stratification of the sample by sex and age (<45, 45-60, and >60 years). RESULTS Patients (n = 566,774) were predominantly female (79.6%), White (72.4%), non-Hispanic (77.9%), and middle-aged (44.5 ± 11.9 years), with a mean BMI of 45.3 ± 7.8 kg/m2. More than 95% of patients completed the 30-day visits. In the whole-sample analysis, older age (odds ratio [OR], 1.02) and the presence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes (OR, 1.04), hypertension (OR, 1.03), hyperlipidemia (OR, 1.10), obstructive sleep apnea (OR, 1.15), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (OR, 1.16) were positive predictors of the 30-day visit completion (Ps < .01). Conversely, sleeve gastrectomy procedure (OR, .86), Black race (OR, .87), Hispanic ethnicity (OR, .94), and the presence of insulin-dependent diabetes (OR, .96) and smoking (OR, .83) were negative predictors (Ps < .01). Several differences emerged in subanalyses. For example, in sex stratification, Hispanic ethnicity lost its significance in men. In age stratification, BMI and male sex emerged as positive predictors in the age groups of <45 and 45-60 years, respectively. CONCLUSION Although challenged by small effect sizes, this analysis identified subgroups at a higher risk of being lost to follow-up after bariatric surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reporting high-quality bariatric surgery outcomes depends on participant attrition and level of study participation among enrolled participants. OBJECTIVES Our aims are to report participant attrition, active enrollment, and level of participation, and to evaluate pre-surgery sociodemographic, physical health, and psychosocial factors as predictors of attrition and level of participation through 5 years. SETTING The Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery-2 study which enrolled 2458 adults undergoing a first bariatric surgical procedure at 1 of 6 US cites from 2006 through 2009. METHODS In-person research assessments were conducted pre-surgery and annually for five years. Extensive retention strategies including offering remote assessments (telephone, email, mail, or a combination) were fully implemented in 2009. Among living participants, including those inactivated, annual follow-up assessments were categorized as in-person, remote or missed through 5 years. RESULTS By year 5, 1.7% of participants had died and 3.2% had withdrawn or were inactivated by the study staff; thus, attrition was 4.9% (n = 121). Controlling for site and calendar year, missed assessments increased from 14.7%-21.8% between years 1 and 2 and then stayed relatively stable (20.8%-19.6%) for years 3-5. Younger age, male sex, White race, lower body mass index, smoking, illicit drug use, and higher weight loss expectations preoperatively were independently associated with a higher likelihood of a missed versus in-person assessment across follow-up. CONCLUSION The LABS-2 participant attrition was low. The percentage of missed assessments did not increase after year 2, perhaps due to implementation of a comprehensive retention plan. Predictors of missed assessments highlight subgroups to target for focused retention efforts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bariatric and metabolic surgery is an effective treatment option for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Increased knowledge regarding factors associated with diabetes remission is essential in individual decision making and could guide postoperative care. Therefore, we aimed to explore factors known to affect the chance of achieving diabetes remission after bariatric and metabolic surgery and to further investigate the impact of socioeconomic factors. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this nationwide study, we assessed all patients with T2D who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery between 2007 and 2015 in the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry. Remission was defined as absence of antidiabetic medication for T2D 2 years after surgery. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate factors associated with diabetes remission, with missing data handled by multiple imputations. RESULTS A total of 8057 patients were included. Mean age±SD was 47.4±10.1 years, mean body mass index 42.2±5.7 kg/m2, mean hemoglobin A1c 59.0±17.33, and 61.7% (n=4970) were women. Two years after surgery, 6211 (77.1%) patients achieved T2D remission. Preoperative insulin treatment (OR 0.26, 95% CI 0.22 to 0.30), first-generation immigrant (OR 0.66, 95% CI 0.57 to 0.77), duration of T2D (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.88 to 0.90), dyslipidemia (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.62 to 0.81), age (OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.96 to 0.97), and high glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.98 to 0.99) were all associated with lower T2D remission rate. In contrast, residence in a medium-sized (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.20 to 1.61) or small (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.25 to 1.71) town and percentage of total weight loss (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.04) were associated with higher remission rates. CONCLUSION Among patients with T2D undergoing RYGB surgery, increasing age, HbA1c, and diabetes duration decreased the chance of reaching diabetes remission without cut-offs, while postoperative weight loss demonstrated a positive linear association. In addition, being a first-generation immigrant and living in a large city were socioeconomic factors having a negative association.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to track conventional cigarette smoking behaviors and associated correlates in adolescents with severe obesity who did or did not undergo metabolic and bariatric surgery to 4 years after surgery/baseline. METHODS Utilizing a prospective controlled design, surgical (n = 153; mean BMI = 52) and nonsurgical (n = 70; mean BMI = 47) groups that completed assessments before surgery/at baseline and at Years 2 and 4 post surgery (Year 4: n = 117 surgical [mean BMI = 38]; n = 56 nonsurgical [mean BMI = 48]) were compared. Separate logistic regression models tested correlates of Year 4 current smoking. RESULTS More than half of participants (surgical: 55%; nonsurgical: 60%) had ever smoked a cigarette, with current smoking increasing with time. Groups did not differ in Year 4 current smoking (surgical: 23%; nonsurgical: 33%), with ≈ 50% meeting criteria for "heavy" smoking (≥ half pack/day) and ≈ 40% smoking their first cigarette before ninth grade. Factors associated with higher odds of Year 4 current smoking included dysregulation (P < 0.001), internalizing symptoms (P = 0.01), alcohol use (P = 0.04), caregiver smoking (P < 0.001), friend smoking (P = 0.001), and perceiving low harm (P = 0.02), plus greater percent weight loss (P = 0.03) in the surgical group. CONCLUSIONS Smoking is a clinical health challenge for adolescents and young adults with severe obesity, including those who have undergone metabolic and bariatric surgery. Upstream identification, monitoring, and intervention to prevent smoking uptake and escalation in youth with obesity across settings should be prioritized.

The association between socioeconomic factors and weight loss 5 years after gastric bypass surgery. Int J Obes (Lond) 2020; 44:2279-2290. [PMID: 32651450 PMCID: PMC7577856 DOI: 10.1038/s41366-020-0637-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2019] [Revised: 06/04/2020] [Accepted: 07/01/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with low socioeconomic status have been reported to have poorer outcome than those with a high socioeconomic status after several types of surgery. The influence of socioeconomic factors on weight loss after bariatric surgery remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between socioeconomic factors and postoperative weight loss. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective, nationwide cohort study with 5-year follow-up data for 13,275 patients operated with primary gastric bypass in Sweden between January 2007 and December 2012 (n = 13,275), linking data from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry, Statistics Sweden, the Swedish National Patient Register, and the Swedish Prescribed Drugs Register. The assessed socioeconomic variables were education, profession, disposable income, place of residence, marital status, financial aid and heritage. The main outcome was weight loss 5 years after surgery, measured as total weight loss (TWL). Linear regression models, adjusted for age, preoperative body mass index (BMI), sex and comorbid diseases were constructed. RESULTS The mean TWL 5 years after surgery was 28.3 ± 9.86%. In the adjusted model, first-generation immigrants (%TWL, B -2.4 [95% CI -2.9 to -1.9], p < 0.0001) lost significantly less weight than the mean, while residents in medium-sized (B 0.8 [95% CI 0.4-1.2], p = 0.0001) or small towns (B 0.8 [95% CI 0.4-1.2], p < 0.0001) lost significantly more weight. CONCLUSIONS All socioeconomic groups experienced improvements in weight after bariatric surgery. However, as first-generation immigrants and patients residing in larger towns (>200,000 inhabitants) tend to have inferior weight loss compared to other groups, increased support in the pre- and postoperative setting for these two groups could be of value. The remaining socioeconomic factors appear to have a weaker association with postoperative weight loss.
