Abstract
The prevalence of obesity continues to rise around the world, driving up the need for effective and durable treatments. The field of metabolic/bariatric surgery has grown rapidly in the past 25 years, with observational studies and randomized controlled trials investigating a broad range of long term outcomes. Metabolic/bariatric surgery results in durable and significant weight loss and improvements in comorbid conditions, including type 2 diabetes. Observational studies show that metabolic/bariatric surgery is associated with a lower incidence of cardiovascular events, cancer, and death. Weight regain is a risk in a fraction of patients, and an association exists between metabolic/bariatric surgery and an increased risk of developing substance and alcohol use disorders, suicidal ideation/attempts, and accidental death. Patients need lifelong follow-up to help to reduce the risk of these complications and other nutritional deficiencies. Different surgical procedures have important differences in risks and benefits, and a clear need exists for more long term research about less invasive and emerging procedures. Recent guidelines for the treatment of obesity and metabolic conditions have been updated to reflect this growth in knowledge, with an expansion of eligibility criteria, particularly people with type 2 diabetes and a body mass index between 30.0 and 34.9.

Abstract
Introduction The negative impact of obesity on the quality of life (QoL) and its association with multiple comorbidities is unquestionable. The primary objective of this study was to compare the QoL of patients before, 1 year and 5 years after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). Secondary objectives were to evaluate the resolution of obesity-related comorbidities and weight loss success. Materials and Methods We included patients who underwent LSG for body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2 between August 2016 and April 2017 and completed the Moorehead-Ardelt QoL Questionnaire II (MA II). Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS IBM Statistics for Windows version 21. Results In total, 64 patients participated with a female majority (73.44%) and a mean age of 36.09 with an average BMI at 40.47. Percentage of excess BMI loss and excess weight loss (% EWL) at one and 5 years after surgery went from 90.18% to 85.05% and 72.17% to 67.09%, respectively. The total MA II score before LSG was - 0.39 ± 0.94. Postoperatively, it increased to 1.73 ± 0.60 at 1 year and 1.95 ± 0.67 at 5 years. The positive impact of LSG on QoL was more significant in patients presenting ≥30% of weight loss and in females. At 5 years, a significant improvement in many comorbidities was noted except for arterial hypertension, coxalgia, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and lower extremities' varices. Conclusion LSG maintains a long-term QoL improvement, a significant EWL and a resolution of the most common obesity-associated comorbidities such as diabetes, dyslipidaemia and symptoms related to sleep apnoea.

Patient-reported outcomes, weight loss, and remission of type 2 diabetes 3 years after gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy (Oseberg); a single-centre, randomised controlled trial. Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2023:S2213-8587(23)00127-4. [PMID: 37414071 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-8587(23)00127-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Revised: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the comparative effects of various bariatric procedures on patient-reported outcomes. We aimed to compare 3-year effects of gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy on patient-reported outcome measures in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes. METHODS The Oseberg trial was a single-centre, parallel-group, randomised trial at Vestfold Hospital Trust, a public tertiary obesity centre in Tønsberg, Norway. Eligible patients were aged 18 years or older with previously verified BMI 35·0 kg/m2 or greater. Diabetes was diagnosed if glycated haemoglobin was at least 6·5% (48 mmol/mol) or by their use of anti-diabetic medications with glycated haemoglobin at least 6·1% (43 mmol/mol). Eligible patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. All patients received identical preoperative and postoperative treatment. Randomisation was done with a computerised random number generator and a block size of ten. Study personnel, patients, and the primary outcome assessor were blinded to allocations for 1 year. The prespecified secondary outcomes reported here were 3-year changes in several clinically important patient-reported outcomes, weight loss, and diabetes remission. Analyses were done in the intention to treat population. This trial is ongoing, closed to recruitment and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01778738. FINDINGS Between Oct 15, 2012 and Sept 1, 2017, 319 consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes scheduled for bariatric surgery were assessed for eligibility. 101 patients were not eligible (29 did not have type 2 diabetes according to inclusion criteria and 72 other exclusion criteria) and 93 declined to participate. 109 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to sleeve gastrectomy (n=55) or gastric bypass (n=54). 72 (66%) of 109 patients were female and 37 (34%) were male. 104 (95%) of patients were White. 16 patients were lost to follow up and 93 (85%) patients completed the 3-year follow-up. Three additional patients were contacted by phone for registration of comorbidities Compared with sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass was associated with a greater improvement in weight-related quality of life (between group difference 9·4, 95% CI 3·3 to 15·5), less reflux symptoms (0·54, 0·17 to -0·90), greater total bodyweight loss (8% difference, 25% vs 17%), and a higher probability of diabetes remission (67% vs 33%, risk ratio 2·00; 95% CI 1·27 to 3·14). Five patients reported postprandial hypoglycaemia in the third year after gastric bypass versus none after sleeve-gastrectomy (p=0·059). Symptoms of abdominal pain, indigestion, diarrhoea, dumping syndrome, depression, binge eating, and appetitive drive did not differ between groups. INTERPRETATION At 3 years, gastric bypass was superior to sleeve gastrectomy in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity regarding weight related quality of life, reflux symptoms, weight loss, and remission of diabetes, while symptoms of abdominal pain, indigestion, diarrhoea, dumping, depression and binge eating did not differ between groups. This new patient-reported knowledge can be used in the shared decision-making process to inform patients about similarities and differences between expected outcomes after the two surgical procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) can be seen after bariatric/metabolic surgery. Fecal elastase level is a simple test in diagnosing and grading EPI. Quality of life changes in patients with bariatric/metabolic surgery related to gastrointestinal complaints is debated. AIM This study aimed to investigate rates and grades of EPI via fecal elastase levels and association between EPI and quality of life in bariatric surgery patients. METHODS A prospective study was performed for patients with bariatric/metabolic surgery at their second-year follow-up. Fecal elastase levels were used to diagnose and grade EPI as severe or moderate. Patient's gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI) was calculated. Patients were grouped as sleeve gastrectomy (SG), one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), single-anastomosis sleeve ileal bypass (SASI), and transit bipartition (TB). Rates of severe or moderate EPI were primary outcome. Secondary outcome was an association between fecal elastase and GIQLI. RESULTS There were 17, 29, 21, and 15 patients in OAGB, SG, TB, and SASI groups. There was no significant difference between groups in GIQLI scores and fecal elastase levels (p = 0.152 and p = 0.361). Rates of patients with moderate EPI in the groups OAGB, SG, TB, and SASI were 23.5%, 17.2%, 14.3%, and 20.0%. GIQLI scores were not significantly correlated with age, postoperative morphometric data, and fecal elastase values (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Rates of patients with moderate EPI ranged from 14.3 to 23.5% at second-year follow-up. There was no patient with severe EPI. GIQLI scores were not significantly correlated with fecal elastase levels and different types of bariatric/metabolic surgery.

Gastrointestinal Quality of Life in Morbidly Obese Patients Undergoing One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB): Derivation of a "Mini GIQLI" Score. Obes Surg 2022; 32:2332-2340. [PMID: 35488108 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-022-06080-2] [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: 02/03/2022] [Revised: 04/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is now one of the mainstream bariatric surgical procedures with proven safety and efficacy. However, data on the gastrointestinal quality of life following OAGB is lacking. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database, performed at a single tertiary care teaching hospital from January 2016 until March 2021. All patients undertook the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) questionnaire. GIQLI was correlated with various parameters. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to assess the importance of each question in the questionnaire and devise a "Mini GIQLI score". RESULTS A total of 60 patients were included. The %TWL at 3 and 5 years was 26.2 ± 11.9%, 31.7 ± 11 respectively. The mean weight regain was 5.6 ± 8.5 kg. The mean GIQLI score was 125 ± 13.1. The mean scores for questions pertaining to gastrointestinal, social, psychological, and physical domains were 3.49, 3.7, 3.45, and 3.27 respectively. Scree plot of principal component analysis showed that a new score ("Mini GIQLI") combining only 5 questions had good correlation with the overall GIQOL score (r = 0.842). The five questions related to anxiety, fatigue, feeling unwell, loss of endurance, and feeling unfit. CONCLUSIONS Patients report a good score on GIQLI assessment following OAGB. The Mini GIQLI score is a quicker tool with good correlation to the full-length GIQLI score.
