Int J Obes (Lond) 2024:10.1038/s41366-024-01572-w. [PMID: 38902388 DOI: 10.1038/s41366-024-01572-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence on the long-term (≥10 years) development of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following bariatric surgery is still limited and mainly based on small-scale studies. This study aimed to investigate (1) 15-year changes in mental, physical, social, and obesity-related HRQoL after bariatric surgery and non-surgical obesity treatment; and (2) whether sociodemographic factors and pre-operative health status are associated with 15-year HRQoL changes in the surgery group. METHODS Participants were from the non-randomized, prospective, controlled Swedish Obese Subjects study. The surgery group (N = 2007, per-protocol) underwent gastric bypass, banding or vertical banded gastroplasty, and matched controls (N = 2040) received usual obesity care. Recruitment took place in 1987-2001 and measurements (including six HRQoL scales) were administered before treatment and after 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 15 years. Multilevel mixed-effect regression models using all observations for estimation were conducted. RESULTS Surgical patients experienced greater 15-year improvements in perceived health and overall mood, and greater reductions in depression, obesity-related problems, and social interaction limitations than controls (all p < 0.001, adjusted for baseline differences). Effect size (ES) was classified as large only for obesity-related problems (ES = 0.82). At the 15-year follow-up, surgical patients reported better perceived health (p < 0.001) and less obesity-related problems (p = 0.020) than controls. In the surgery group, patients with baseline diabetes had smaller 15-year reductions in social interaction limitations (p < 0.001) and depression (p = 0.049) compared to those without baseline diabetes. Although surgical patients with a history of psychiatric disorder reported lower HRQoL than those without such history over the 15-year follow-up, there were no significant differences in the long-term improvements between the two groups (p = 0.211-0.902). CONCLUSIONS Over 15 years, surgical patients experienced more positive development of HRQoL compared to those receiving usual care. This difference was large for obesity-related problems, but otherwise the differences were small. Patients with pre-operative diabetes might be at increased risk for smaller long-term HRQoL improvements.

Ten-Year Outcomes Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass vs Duodenal Switch for High Body Mass Index: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Netw Open 2024; 7:e2414340. [PMID: 38829616 PMCID: PMC11148687 DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.14340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Importance Results from long-term follow-up after biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (DS) are scarce. Objective To compare weight loss, health outcomes, and quality of life 10 years or more after Roux-en-Y-gastric bypass (RYGB) and DS surgery in patients with severe obesity-that is, a body mass index (BMI; calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) of 50 to 60. Design, Setting, and Participants This open-label randomized clinical trial was conducted at 2 academic bariatric centers in Sweden and Norway. Sixty patients with a BMI of 50 to 60 were included from March 1, 2006, to August 31, 2007. Data were analyzed from August 12, 2022, to January 25, 2023. Interventions Laparoscopic RYGB or laparoscopic DS. Main Outcomes and Measures The main outcome was change in BMI after 10 or more years. Secondary outcomes included anthropometric measures, lipid and glycemic profiles, bone mass density, adverse events, gastrointestinal tract symptoms, and health-related quality of life. Results Forty-eight of the original 60 patients (80%) were assessed after a median of 12 (range, 9-13) years (mean [SD] age, 48.0 [6.0] years; 35 women [73%]). At follow-up, the mean BMI reductions were 11.0 (95% CI, 8.3-13.7) for RYGB and 20.3 (95% CI, 17.6-23.0) for DS, with a mean between-group difference of 9.3 (95% CI, 5.4-13.1; P < .001). Total weight loss was 20.0% (95% CI, 15.3%-24.7%) for RYGB and 33.9% (95% CI, 27.8%-40.0%) for DS (P = .001). Mean serum lipid levels, except high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and hemoglobin A1c, improved more in the DS group during follow-up. Bone mass was reduced for both groups from 5 to 10 years, with lower bone mass after DS at 10 years. Quality-of-life scores (Obesity-Related Problem Scale and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey) were comparable across groups at 10 years. The total number of adverse events was higher after DS (135 vs 97 for RYGB; P = .02). More patients in the DS group developed vitamin deficiencies (21 vs 11 for RYGB; P = .008) including 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency (19 for DS vs 9 for RYGB; P = .005). Four of 29 patients in the DS group (14%) developed severe protein-caloric malnutrition, of whom 3 (10%) underwent revisional surgery. Conclusions and Relevance In this randomized clinical trial, BMI reduction was greater after DS, but RYGB had a better risk profile over 10 years. Biliopancreatic diversion with DS may not be a better surgical strategy than RYGB for patients with a BMI of 50 to 60. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00327912.

The association between body mass index and health-related quality of life in the 2017 and 2018 health survey of England data: A cross-sectional observational analysis. Diabetes Obes Metab 2024; 26:2318-2328. [PMID: 38499493 DOI: 10.1111/dom.15546] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
AIM To provide an updated estimate of the association between body mass index (BMI) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among the general population in England and to identify population subgroups with the highest potential utility gains from obesity interventions. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample included 12 158 adults with valid HRQoL and BMI data from the 2017 and 2018 Health Survey for England. Robust standard error linear regression, controlling for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, lifestyle behaviours and obesity-related comorbidities, was used for the baseline analysis. Robustness checks assessed the impact of (a) estimator selection; (b) model specifications; (c) statistical outliers at high BMI; (d) potential BMI measurement error; and (e) data pooling. RESULTS The study found a significant association between HRQoL and BMI, which exhibited an inverted U-shaped relationship. The mean HRQoL peaked at 25.7 kg/m2 in men and 22.6 kg/m2 in women and was reduced in the underweight, overweight and obesity BMI ranges. Sensitivity analyses reported similar coefficients, suggesting a robust model specification. CONCLUSIONS Reduced HRQoL beyond optimal BMI underlines the importance of maintaining a normal BMI range for overall health. The rising prevalence of class III obesity is a major public health concern given its disproportionate impact on health, health care utilization and costs. Obesity management is key to preventing the reduction in HRQoL associated with obesity-related comorbidities, and this analysis supports the development of targeted policies and population health initiatives for people with class III obesity.

Vida Sana y Completa: A randomized controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of diabetes prevention with and without medically supportive groceries among Latina women. Contemp Clin Trials 2024; 143:107582. [PMID: 38810932 DOI: 10.1016/j.cct.2024.107582] [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: 10/06/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
Latina women have a high prevalence of obesity and obesity-related chronic diseases, such as diabetes. Approximately half of Latinas with obesity will also experience food insecurity, or a lack of access to enough food for an active and healthy life. Food insecurity is a barrier for effective prevention and management of obesity-related chronic diseases. The goal of this type 1 hybrid comparative effectiveness trial is to compare a culturally-tailored diabetes prevention intervention with and without medically supportive groceries. Adult Latina women (n = 412) with obesity (Body Mass Index (BMI) of >30 kg/m2) and food insecurity will be 1:1 randomized to the Vida Sana intervention (control), or to Vida Sana y Completa (intervention plus integrated treatment for food insecurity). Vida Sana is an evidence-based culturally tailored, 12-month diabetes prevention intervention that targets at least 5% weight loss and at least 150 min/week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Participants enrolled in Vida Sana y Completa will also receive 12 weekly deliveries of medically supportive groceries. Those in Vida Sana alone will receive information on local food resources. Participants will be assessed at baseline and every 6 months for 24 months. The primary outcome is weight loss at 12 months. Secondary outcomes include weight loss maintenance, diet quality, and quality of life. Barriers and facilitators of implementation will be assessed using mixed methods according to the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. This study will provide critical evidence for addressing the combination of obesity and food insecurity in primary care for diabetes prevention. Trial Registration: NCT052111.

Majstorovic M, Chur-Hansen A, Andrews JM, Burke ALJ. Bariatric surgeons' views on pre-operative factors associated with improved health-related quality of life following surgery. Clin Obes 2024:e12668. [PMID: 38641997 DOI: 10.1111/cob.12668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024]
Abstract
Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for severe obesity, affording significant improvements in weight loss and health-related quality of life. However, bariatric surgeons' views on whether certain pre-operative factors predict improvements in post-operative health-related quality of life, and if so, which ones, are largely unknown. This cross-sectional survey study examined the views of 58 bariatric surgeons from Australia and New Zealand. A total of 18 factors were selected for exploration based on their mention in the literature. Participants rated the extent to which they thought these pre-operative factors would improve post-operative health-related quality of life. Responses showed that bariatric surgeons held diverse perspectives and revealed a lack of consensus regarding "predictive" factors. Generally, respondents agreed that better than average health literacy, higher socioeconomic status, good physical and psychological health, and positive social support were predictors of improved health-related quality of life following surgery. However, poor eating behaviours, smoking, and the use of alcohol or other substances were deemed negative predictors. Interestingly, aside from higher socioeconomic status, good psychological health, and positive social support, none of the aforementioned views aligned with existing literature. This study offers an initial insight into bariatric surgeons' views on the influence of different pre-operative factors on post-operative health-related quality of life. The array of views identified suggests that there may be an opportunity for medical education, but the findings warrant caution due to the sample size. Replication with a larger survey may be useful, especially as predicted health-related quality of life outcomes could guide decisions regarding surgical (non)progression.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obesity is a chronic noncommunicable disease, defined by a body mass index over 30 kg/m2. Its impact is not restricted to its association with higher risks of mortality and morbidity from other noncommunicable diseases, but also with a decrease in quality of life (QoL). There are several tools to assess QoL, from generic health-related tools to obesity-related specific ones. However, to assess QoL in patients undergoing bariatric surgery, only the Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System was available, which presented some significant problems. Therefore, the Bariatric Quality of Life (BQL) Index was developed. The aim of this study was the validation and cultural adaptation of the BQL Index for European Portuguese. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted, with the presentation of two questionnaires to the participants: BQL Index and EQ-5D-3L (European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions and 3 Level) Index. Direct translation followed reviewing, back-translation, comparison, and pilot testing were performed. Retest was done six months after the baseline. The following psychometric properties were assessed: convergent validity using the Spearman r correlation coefficient between BQL Index and EQ-5D-3L Index; internal consistency based on Cronbach alpha coefficient; and reproducibility between test and retest through Spearman r correlation coefficient and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). RESULTS A total of 260 participants were included, the mean age was 45 ± 10 years old, the mean body mass index was 44 ± 6.5 kg/m2 and 78% were females. The most frequent obesity-related comorbidities were osteoarticular disease (69%), anxiety/depression (60%), and hypertension (54%). The most common eating patterns were volume eater (67%) and sweet eater (62%). Quality of Life scores were 41.3 ± 9.3 for the BQL Index, 0.35 ± 0.19 for the EQ-5D-3L Index and 55.7 ± 19.8 for the EQ-5D-3L VAS. The translation yielded good convergent validity (r = 0.62), good internal consistency (alpha = 0.94), and good reproducibility (r = 0.62 and ICC = 0.79). CONCLUSION Our translation exhibited good parametric properties, with validity within the original BQL values, higher internal consistency, and good reproducibility.

Abstract
In 2007, the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg) was started by the profession to monitor the results of bariatric surgery and to provide a high-quality database for research. In the end of August 2023, SOReg contains 88,379 patients (body mass index [BMI] 41.7 kg/m2 , 41.2 years, 77.1% females, gastric bypass 76.8%). In this narrative review, we demonstrate that preoperative weight loss is of value and that the laparoscopic double omega-loop technique is highly suitable for gastric bypass. Closing the mesenteric openings is, however, important. Swedish bariatric surgery has low mortality, and our results are comparative to those of other countries. Significant long-term improvements are found in common obesity-related diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Furthermore, the risk for cardiac failure and major adverse cardiovascular events is significantly reduced. Pregnancy-related outcomes are also improved. Gastric bypass results in significant improvements in quality of life and seems to be cost saving. We have revealed that low socioeconomic status is associated with reduced chance of undergoing bariatric surgery and inferior outcomes. Of note, we have performed several randomized clinical trials within the registry database. In conclusion, high-quality national registry databases, such as SOReg, are important for maintaining high-quality care and present a platform for extensive research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) is one of the most important outcomes to metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) patients but was not measured by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP). A patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) program pilot started in 2016 with MBSAQIP implementation in 2019. OBJECTIVES To measure how MBS impacts patient HRQoL 1 and 2 years after primary laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (bypass) or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (sleeve). SETTING The 82 centers in the United States participating in the MBSAQIP PROMs program. METHODS Preoperative HRQoL scores and satisfaction were compared with postoperative scores 1 and 2 years after surgery with univariate comparisons and adjusted regression models. RESULTS There were 13,901 PROMs responses from 11,146 patients. Patient satisfaction with their MBS decision was 97%. On average, patients had significant improvement in Obesity-related Problem (OP) scores (65.8 preoperatively, 23.0 at 1 yr, and 26.3 at 2 yr; P <.05), Obesity and Weight-Loss Quality-of-Life (OWLQOL) scores (36.7 preoperatively, 77.2 at 1 yr, and 74.6 at 2 yr; P < .05), their physical health (39.2 preoperatively versus 51.7 at 1 yr and 50.0 at 2 yr), and mental health (45.6 preoperatively versus 53.3 at 1 yr and 51.4 at 2 yr). Compared with bypass patients, sleeve patients had significantly lower odds of having low OP scores postoperatively (odds ratio [95% CI) ] .67 [.53, .83]) and lower odds of high OWLQOL (.61 [.48, .77]) at 1 year. CONCLUSION All patients regardless of procedure on average report significant improvement in their scores for OP, OWLQOL, and physical and mental health after MBS. At 1 and 2 years, bypass patients reported greater improvement in their obesity-related PROMs than sleeve patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nearly half of Latinx adults in the US are obese, making effective weight loss interventions crucial to prevent associated chronic conditions. OBJECTIVE To identify factors associated with increased session attendance and clinically significant weight loss among Latinx adults. PARTICIPANTS Latinx participants from the Vivamos Activos (n = 207), Vida Sana (n = 191), and HOMBRE (n = 424 Latinx men) randomized clinical trials. DESIGN Post-hoc analysis of randomized controlled trial data. INTERVENTION Culturally-adapted behavioral weight loss interventions based on the Diabetes Prevention Program among Latinx adults over 12 months. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Demographic, clinical, and psychosocial predictors of session attendance and 5% weight loss at 12-months. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS PERFORMED Bi-variable associations between baseline characteristics and outcomes were tested with chi-square and t-tests. Those with p-value< 0.15 were then included in stepwise logistic regressions. RESULTS Participants (N = 822) were middle age with diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. Older age in the Vivamos Activos and Vida Sana trials, and lower acculturation in the HOMBRE trial were significant predictors of increased session attendance. Factors associated with 5% weight loss varied by trials. These included younger age (OR 0.96 95% CI 0.92, 0.99) in Vivamos Activos, higher acculturation (OR 1.88 95% CI 1.05, 3.37) in Vida Sana, and higher education (OR 3.20 95% CI 1.3, 7.03) and greater body image dissatisfaction (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.04, 1.6), and lower acculturation (0.69 95% CI 0.5, 0.96) in HOMBRE. CONCLUSIONS Few and conflicting baseline characteristics were associated with session attendance and clinically significant weight loss, suggesting that alternative approaches to optimizing interventions are needed.

Outcomes of bariatric surgery for patients with prevalent inflammatory bowel disease: A nationwide registry-based cohort study. Surgery 2023; 174:144-151. [PMID: 37263879 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2023.04.059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 03/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is becoming more prevalent in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Although bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for obesity, questions remain regarding its safety and effectiveness for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of bariatric surgery in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. METHOD This registry-based, propensity-matched cohort study included all patients who had primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy in Sweden from January 2007 to June 2020 who had an inflammatory bowel disease diagnosis and matched control patients without an inflammatory bowel disease diagnosis. The study included data from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry, the National Patient Register, the Swedish Prescribed Drugs Register, the Total Population Register, and the Education Register from Statistics Sweden. RESULTS In total, 71,093 patients who underwent bariatric surgery, including 194 with Crohn's disease and 306 with ulcerative colitis, were 1:5 matched to non-inflammatory bowel disease control patients. The patients with Crohn's disease had a higher readmission rate within 30 days (10.7% vs 6.1%, odds ratio = 1.84, 95% confidence interval 1.02-3.31) than the control patients, with no significant difference between the surgical methods. The patients with ulcerative colitis had a higher risk for serious postoperative complications after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (8.0% vs 3.7%, odds ratio = 2.64, 95% confidence interval 1.15-6.05) but not after sleeve gastrectomy compared to control patients (0.8% vs 2.3%). No difference was observed in postoperative weight loss or postoperative health-related quality of life. CONCLUSION Sleeve gastrectomy appears to be a safe and effective treatment for obesity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, whereas Roux-en-Y gastric bypass was associated with a higher risk for postoperative complications in patients with ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
Purpose Many patients seeking bariatric surgery experience reduced health-related quality of life (HRQOL). A simple clinical tool, the Patient-Reported Outcomes in Obesity (PROS), was developed to address patients' HRQOL concerns during clinical consultations and facilitate meaningful dialogue. The present study aims to explore its sensitivity to change. Patients and Methods A prospective study of patients undergoing bariatric surgery was conducted. The patients responded to items on the PROS and the Obesity-related Problems Scale (OP) before surgery and three, 12 and 24 months after surgery. Longitudinal mixed-effects models were applied to estimate the change in PROS and OP scores over time. Results Thirty-eight patients were included. A significant change over time was detected for the PROS with the largest effect size at 24 months (effect size -1.34, p ˂ 0.001), while the corresponding effect size for the OP was -1.32 (p ˂ 0.001). In all items of the PROS, the majority of patients responded not bothered at 24 months. The items physical activity, pain, sleep and self-esteem showed the largest change in the percentage of patients reporting not bothered from baseline to 24 months after surgery. Conclusion The PROS is sensitive to change over time and may be used as a brief, easy to administer tool to facilitate a conversation about obesity-specific quality of life in clinical consultations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) assesses safety after metabolic and bariatric surgery and the impact on weight and obesity-related diseases. However, changes in quality of life are likely what matters most to patients, and these are not currently assessed. The best way to measure health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is to use validated patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs), which capture patients' perspectives of their quality of life both before and after surgery. OBJECTIVES Identify the outcomes most important to bariatric surgery patients and identify the most appropriate validated PROMs to implement in a national program for the MBSAQIP. SETTING Five hospitals from a single healthcare system in New England. METHODS A series of 18 focus groups and/or interviews conducted with patients, patients' family members, and bariatric health providers determined the outcomes most important to bariatric patients and which validated PROMs would accurately measure those outcomes. Immersion crystallization was used to analyze focus group data and identify appropriate PROMs. RESULTS Focus group participants ranked health as the most important outcome for metabolic and bariatric surgery. Self-confidence, mobility, and everyday activities were the next highest ranked HRQoL domains. The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System 10-Item Global Health Survey was selected as the general health measure. The Obesity-Related Problems scale and the Obesity and Weight-Loss Quality of Life Instrument were the disease-specific measures selected for inclusion in the MBSAQIP PROMs program. CONCLUSION The addition of PROMs to the MBSAQIP provides a unique opportunity to monitor HRQoL at the national level, which can foster improved shared decision-making before surgery.

Abstract
Self-management education programs have been highly successful in preparing people to manage medical conditions with recurring events. A detailed curriculum for epilepsy patients, and their caretakers, is lacking. Here we assess what is available for patients who have disorders with recurring events and offer an approach to developing a potential self-care curriculum for patients with seizures and their caregivers. Among the anticipated components are a baseline efficacy assessment and training tailored to increasing self-efficacy, medication compliance, and stress management. Those at risk of status epilepticus will also need guidance in preparing a personalized seizure action plan and training in how to decide when rescue medication is appropriate and how to administer the therapy. Peers, as well as professionals, could teach and provide support. To our knowledge, no such programs are currently available in English. We encourage their creation, dissemination, and widespread use.

Abstract
Objective Preoperative upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGIE) and postoperative histopathological examination (HPE) of resected specimens are still controversial issues in bariatric surgery. Methods A retrospective review of prospectively collected laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomies (SG) performed at our institution for morbid obesity was carried out. All patients underwent pre-operative UGIE with biopsy, post-operative HPE and conventional post-operative follow-up. Results From January 2019 through January 2021 we performed a total of 501 laparoscopic SG. A total of 12 (2.4%) neoplasms were found, 2 evident at preoperative UGIE, 4 detected during operation, and 6 at HPE. Eight of these 12 cases had some malignant potential and 5 would not have been detected without HPE of the specimen. The most significant unexpected case was a fundic gland type adenocarcinoma in a 64-year-old female with severe obesity. Conclusion On the basis of our clinical experience, we recommend both preoperative endoscopic assessment and postoperative HPE of the specimen to provide the best available treatment to these patients.

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
PURPOSE Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) could improve health-related quality of life (HrQoL) for selected patients with obesity. Although biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) is regarded as the most effective MBS technique in achieving weight loss, no consensus has been reached on the impact of BPD-DS on HrQoL. The aim of this meta-analysis is to assess the mid-term HrQoL after BPD-DS in the management of patients with obesity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cochrane, Embase, APA PsycInfo, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for articles from their inception to August 2022 by two independent reviewers using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) system. The review was registered prospectively with PROSPERO (CRD42022352073). RESULTS From 223 studies screened, twelve studies met the eligibility criteria, with a total of 937 patients with obesity undergoing BPD-DS. Minimal clinically important differences (MCID) were reached for the physical component summary score (PCS) of the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) (MD = 13.4) and impact of weight on quality of life (IWQOL)-Lite total score (MD = 48.7). Similarly, MCIDs were attained in the Laval questionnaire and SF-36 subscales. CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis demonstrated an improvement in mid-term HrQoL after BPD-DS. Despite the promising trends demonstrated in this meta-analysis, further studies with large sample sizes are needed to evaluate the impact of HrQoL on patients with obesity after BPD-DS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risks and benefits of metabolic and bariatric surgery for patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) remain to be investigated. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess short- and long-term outcomes after metabolic and bariatric surgery in patients with previous ADHD compared with matched control individuals. SETTING Registry based. METHODS This 2-staged matched-cohort study included all adults with a body mass index of ≥30 kg/m2 who underwent primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy from 2007 until 2017 registered in the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry. Patients with prescribed medication for ADHD were matched with control individuals without ADHD with a follow-up of up to 11 years after surgery. RESULTS Among 1431 patients with ADHD and 2862 control individuals (mean body mass index, 42 kg/m2; mean age, 35 years), no difference in weight loss or follow-up attendance over 2 years was seen. ADHD was associated with a higher risk for early postoperative complications (odds ratio [OR] = 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05-1.63), self-harm (hazards ratio [HR] = 1.39; 95% CI, 1.11-1.75), and substance abuse (HR = 1.34; 95% CI, 1.16-1.55), while associations with overall mortality (HR = 1.42; 95% CI, .99-2.03), major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (HR = 1.93; 95% CI, .98-3.83), and effects on obesity-related diseases were uncertain. ADHD was associated with a lower health-related quality of life in all aspects before surgery. These differences increased for mental and obesity-related aspects but remained unchanged over time for physical aspects. CONCLUSIONS Compared with patients without ADHD, patients treated pharmacologically for ADHD experience similar weight loss and remission of obesity-related diseases without an increased risk for serious complications but report a lower health-related quality of life and have an increased risk of substance abuse and self-harm. This further emphasizes the need for close follow-up care for this group of individuals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study psychometrically evaluated General Self-Efficacy (GSE) Scale in patients planned for bariatric surgery in Sweden. DESIGN A cross-sectional psychometric study. The psychometric evaluation was guided by the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health status Measurement Instruments checklist for health-related reported-patient outcomes. SETTING Three bariatric centres in Sweden. PARTICIPANTS Adult patients≥18 years old scheduled for primary bariatric surgery (with sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass). PRIMARY AND SECONDARY MEASURES Psychometric properties of the GSE. RESULTS In total, 704 patients were included in the analysis. Mean values for GSE items were 2.9-3.4 and the mean GSE sum score was 31.4 (SD 4.7). There were no floor or ceiling effects. Cronbach's alpha was 0.89. Men reported a higher mean GSE than did women, that is, 31.2 (SD 4.8) for women versus 32.1 (SD 4.3) for men, p=0.03. Correlation coefficients were weak or negligible: GSE and mental component summary score of 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)/RAND 36, r=0.18 (p<0.00); GSE and physical component summary score of SF-36/RAND 36, r=0.07 (p=0.138); GSE and obesity-related problem scale r=-0.15 (p=0.001) and GSE and level of education, r=0.04 (p=0.35). Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a one-factor construct with a satisfactory goodness of fit, that is, Comparative Fit Index=0.927, root mean square error of approximation=0.092 and standardised root mean square residual=0.045. The factor GSE explained almost half or over half of the variance of each item (0.45-0.75, p-values<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The GSE scale is a valid and reliable scale that can be used to assess general self-efficacy in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Obesity is a chronic disease defined by a body mass index of ≥30 kg/m2, which can result in a decrease in quality of life (QoL). Our study aim was to assess the QoL of an obese population of bariatric surgery (BS) candidates, and to compare it to both that of a non-bariatric obese population (C) and that of the general population. This was a cross-sectional study using: (1) the EQ-5D-3L instrument: comparing BS with the C population and with the Portuguese general population; and (2) the Bariatric Quality of Life (BQL) Index: comparing the two groups of obese patients. We included 228 BS and 68 C obese patients. BS patients had higher BMI (44 ± 6 kg/m2 vs. 41 ± 6.5 kg/m2; p < 0.001), higher waist circumference (130 ± 13 cm vs. 123 ± 17 cm; p = 0.03), and higher total body fat mass (49.9 ± 6.7% vs. 45 ± 6.7%; p < 0.001). QoL as evaluated by EQ-5D-3L was similar, but the BQL index showed lower QoL in BS patients (40.9 ± 8.9 vs. 44.2 ± 11.2; p = 0.01). Compared to the Portuguese general population, BS patients had lower QoL (VAS: 55 ± 19 vs. 74.9; p < 0.001; index: 0.33 ± 0.2 vs. 0.76; p < 0.001). Despite higher adiposity in the BS group, QoL was similar between the groups by EQ-5D-3L. Nevertheless, there was a decrease in the QoL for the BS patients as determined using the BQL, a tool with higher sensitivity to bariatric patients.

[PMID: 35654660 DOI: 10.1016/j.amepre.2022.03.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2021] [Revised: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 03/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Latino men have been drastically under-represented in research to identify effective behavioral weight-loss interventions. This trial compared 2 interventions for weight loss: (1) a culturally adapted intervention (HOMBRE) and (2) a minimal-intensity intervention. STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. SETTING/PARTICIPANTS Latino men with a BMI ≥27 kg/m2 and 1 or more cardiometabolic risk factors (N=424) were recruited (February 15, 2017‒October 2, 2018) from 14 medical centers and randomized to receive 1 of the 2 interventions. INTERVENTION HOMBRE provided men a choice among 3 options: coach-facilitated group sessions using online video conferencing, coach-facilitated group sessions in person, and prerecorded videos of group sessions available online. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was the proportion of participants sustaining clinically significant (≥5% of baseline) weight loss at 18 months. Secondary outcomes included weight loss trajectory over time, 3% and 10% weight loss, cardiometabolic risk factors, health behaviors, and psychosocial well-being at baseline and 18 months. Data were analyzed from October 6, 2020 to January 15, 2022. RESULTS Participants were predominantly middle aged (47.0 [SD=11.9] years), were married (74.3%), were with at least some college experience (79.7%), and had middle to upper incomes (72.4% with annual family incomes >$75,000). Their average BMI was 33.1 kg/m2 (SD=5.1). The proportion achieving clinically significant weight loss at 18 months was 27.4% in the HOMBRE intervention and 20.6% in the minimal-intensity intervention (mean difference=7.2%, 95% CI= -1.8, 17.0; p=0.13). Mean difference between the HOMBRE vs the minimal-intensity group was ‒1.25 kg at 6 months (95% CI= -2.28, -0.21; p=0.02) and ‒1.11 kg at 12 months (95% CI= -2.11, -0.10; p=0.03) using weight measurement data abstracted from the Electronic Health Record and by self report. There were no significant differences in secondary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Among Latino men with overweight and obesity, HOMBRE was not more effective for clinically significant weight loss than a minimal-intensity intervention at 18 months.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To perform a cross-cultural adaptation and validation in the Brazilian cultural context of questionnaire Patient-Reported Outcomes in Obesity (PROS). METHODS The cross-cultural adaptation process involved the translation from original English language into Brazilian Portuguese by two qualified and independent translators. The back-translation was performed by two English language teachers who were native speakers, without any medical knowledge of the original scale. An expert committee was created with researchers to assess semantic, idiomatic, experiential and conceptual equivalence. The pre-test of the Brazilian version, named PROS-Br, was carried out with ten adults with obesity. To assess the psychometric properties of the instrument, a cross-sectional epidemiological study was carried out. The population consisted of 120 Brazilian adults with obesity who went to the appointment at a school-clinic. The Item Response Theory and Factor Analysis with Principal Component Extraction was used for the psychometrics analysis. To measure reliability, the α-Cronbach indicator was used. RESULTS In the reliability analysis, α-Cronbach was 0.82. Two factors explained 58.3% of the total variance in the principal component analysis, involving behavioral and physical aspects. Item Response Theory curves showed that all questions have discriminatory characteristics, pointing to the adequacy of the proposed version. CONCLUSION The Brazilian version was proven valid and reliable to measure the quality of life of individuals with obesity, allowing one to develop intervention strategies, plan and execute actions at services and for public health policies.

Abstract
Background Metabolic (bariatric) surgery for patients with severe obesity and pre-existing heart disease has been reported to reduce the risk for cardiovascular events and mortality; however, concerns of short- and mid-term complications may limit the utility of metabolic surgery for these patients. Method This was an observational, nationwide, matched study, including all adult patients operated with a primary gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy procedure in Sweden from January 2011 until October 2020. Patients with or without previous acute coronary syndrome or heart failure were matched 1:5 using propensity scores. The primary outcome was serious postoperative complications, and secondary outcomes were the occurrence of any short-term complications, mid-term complications, weight loss, and health-related quality of life estimates after surgery Results Of patients who underwent metabolic surgery, 1165 patients with previous acute coronary syndrome or heart failure and 5825 without diagnosed heart disease were included in matched analyses. No difference was seen between the groups at risk for serious postoperative complications within 30 days of surgery (OR 1.33, 95 per cent c.i. 0.95 to 1.86, P = 0.094), whereas heart disease was associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular complications (incidence 1.1 per cent versus 0.2 per cent, P < 0.001). No differences in overall mid-term complications, weight loss, or improvement of health-related quality of life were seen. Pre-existing heart disease was associated with an increased risk for bowel obstruction and strictures (OR 1.89, 95 per cent c.i. 1.20 to 2.99, P = 0.006). Conclusion Patients with severe obesity and heart disease undergoing metabolic surgery have an increased risk of postoperative cardiovascular complications compared with patients with severe obesity without heart disease. A careful preoperative cardiovascular work-up is needed but patients with severe obesity and heart disease should not be excluded from undergoing metabolic surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the association between COVID-19 impact and clinical outcomes of an integrated collaborative care intervention for adults with obesity and comorbid depression. METHODS Latent class analysis identified clusters of self-reported COVID-19 impact. Cluster characteristics were examined using Fishers' least significant difference method and canonical discriminant analysis. Intervention vs. usual care effects on primary (body mass index [BMI], depressive symptoms) and secondary (anxiety symptoms and other psychosocial) outcomes stratified by cluster were examined using linear mixed models. RESULTS Three clusters were identified: mental health and sleep impact (cluster 1, n = 37), economic impact (cluster 2, n = 18), and less overall impact (cluster 3, n = 20). Clusters differed in age, income, diet, and baseline coping skills. The intervention led to improvements across several health outcomes compared with usual care, with medium to large effects on functional impairments (standardized mean difference, -0.7 [95% CI: -1.3, -0.1]) in cluster 1, depressive symptoms (-1.1 [95% CI: -2.0, -0.1]) and obesity-related problems (-1.6 [95% CI: -2.8, -0.4]) in cluster 2, and anxiety (-1.1 [95% CI: -1.9, -0.3]) in cluster 3. CONCLUSIONS People with obesity and comorbid depression may have varied intervention responses based on COVID-19 impact. Interventions tailored to specific COVID-19 impact clusters may restore post-pandemic health.

Preferences for Technology-Mediated Behavioral Lifestyle Interventions With Different Levels of Coach and Peer Support Among Latino Men: Comparative Study Within One Arm of a Randomized Controlled Trial. JMIR Form Res 2022; 6:e29537. [PMID: 35119377 PMCID: PMC8857694 DOI: 10.2196/29537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 12/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although Latino men have the highest prevalence (45%) of obesity among all men in the United States, traditional weight loss interventions have not effectively engaged this hard-to-reach and diverse group. Offering choices among technology-mediated weight loss interventions may offer advantages. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to examine Latino men's preferences among 3 weight loss intervention options. We also examined whether attendance in group sessions (videoconference and in person) and weight loss differed according to intervention choice. METHODS Latino men (n=200; mean age 47.3, SD 11.8 years) participated in a comparative effectiveness trial based on primary care and were randomized to receive the 1-year HOMBRE (Hombres con Opciones para Mejorar su Bienestar para Reducir Enfermedades Crónicas; English translation: Men With Options to Improve Their Well-being and Reduce Chronic Disease) intervention. HOMBRE is a weight loss intervention that offers 3 delivery options. During an orientation session, a trained bilingual coach helped men select 1 of the 3 intervention options that differed in coach, peer support, and available language. We used canonical discriminant analysis to assess multivariate associations of demographic, clinical, employment, cultural, and technology use and access factors with men's intervention choices. We used generalized linear models to estimate weight loss at 6, 12, and 18 months for men in each intervention option. RESULTS Among Latino men, 28% (56/200) chose videoconference groups, 31% (62/200) chose web-based videos, and 41% (82/200) chose in-person groups. The canonical discriminant analysis identified 1 orthogonal dimension that distinguished between men who chose an in-person group and men who chose web-based videos. Men who were older, spoke Spanish, and did not use a computer frequently had a higher probability of choosing in-person groups versus web-based videos. For men who selected a group delivery option, 86.9% (107/123) attended ≥25% of the sessions, 83.7% (103/123) attended ≥50% of the sessions, and 73.2% (90/123) attended ≥75% of the sessions, with no differences by type of group (videoconference or in person). Men who chose videoconference and in-person group sessions lost significantly more weight at 6 months (both P<.001) and 18 months (P=.02 and P=.04, respectively) than those who chose web-based videos. Men who chose in-person group sessions also lost significantly more weight at 12 months (P=.008) than those who chose web-based videos. CONCLUSIONS There were significant differences according to demographic, employment, cultural, and technology use factors between men who chose 1 of the 3 intervention options. Men who chose one of the group-based options (videoconference or in person) lost significantly more weight than those who chose web-based videos. Providing options that accommodate the diversity of Latino men's preferences is important for increasing engagement in behavioral interventions.

Abstract
The Norse Feedback (NF) is a questionnaire developed for patient-reported outcome monitoring with a clinical feedback system (PRO/CFS). As mental health is a concern after bariatric surgery, the use of the NF as part of PRO/CFS may be beneficial. The aim of this study is to test the reliability and validity of the NF in patients who have been accepted for or have undergone bariatric surgery. We performed separate robust confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) to test the unidimensionality on 19 of the NF scales. We also performed correlation analyses on 19 of the NF scales with the Obesity-related Problems scale (OP). We included 213 patients. In the CFA analyses, three out of 12 scales with four or more items showed satisfactory psychometric properties in all goodness of fit indices (Suicidality, Need for Control and Self-Criticism). Four scales showed satisfactory psychometric properties in all indices but RMSEA (Somatic Anxiety, Substance Use, Social Safety and Cognitive Problems). Several of the scales demonstrated floor effects. In the correlation analyses, 18 of the 19 scales showed small-to-moderate correlation coefficients with the OP. Our demonstration of satisfactory psychometric properties on several important scales of the NF suggests that this tool may prove valuable in the routine follow-up of mental health in this population. However, further work is needed to innovate the NF for patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS To identify instruments used to evaluate the predictors of successful weight loss across weight loss trials. METHODS We searched PubMed, PsychInfo, Cochrane Reviews and Scopus for weight loss trials reporting instruments published in the last 16 years. RESULTS A total of 46 significant behavioral and psychological predictors were identified, of which 32 instruments were finally selected. SF-36 questionnaire and Obesity Related Problem Scale for psychosocial health, TREMORE scale for motivation, Social Support Scale for support, Weight Efficacy Lifestyle Scale for self-efficacy and Body Shape Questionnaire for body image had moderate quality. Barriers to healthy eating questionnaire scale and Dutch Eating Behavior also had moderate quality. CONCLUSION Use of uniform instruments with optimum quality can benefit clinical and community-based researchers to generate reliable datasets.

Abstract
Background The current work aimed to investigate the mediating role of adiposity traits in the relationship between eating behaviors, sleep quality, socio-demographic factors, and the health-related quality of life in women of reproductive age in northwest of Iran. Methods In the current cross-sectional study, a total of 278 overweight and obese women of reproductive age (20–49 y) were enrolled. Anthropometric assessments were performed. Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) was used for assessment of sleep quality while Short Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire was used to measure health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-R18 (TFEQ-R18) was used to measure eating behaviors. Path analysis was used to test the relationships between parameters. Results Age was found to be indirectly and negatively associated with mental component score (MCS) (B = − 0.040; P = 0.049) and physical component score (PCS) (B = − 0.065; P = 0.036) through mediatory effects of obesity. Additionally, education was seen to be indirectly and positively related to MCS (B = 0.529; P = 0.045) and PCS (B = 0.870; P = 0.019), respectively. On the other hand, obesity (B = 0.608; P = 0.018) and PSQI score (B = − 0.240; P = 0.034) had direct associations with MCS. Age (B = − 0.065; P = 0.036) and education (B = 0.870; P = 0.019) were also directly associated with obesity. Conclusions Obesity seemed to mediate the effects of socio-demographic parameters on HRQoL. Poor sleep quality was also related to impairment of HRQoL. Further studies are needed to confirm these results.

Validity and reliability of the Swedish Functional Health Literacy scale and the Swedish Communicative and Critical Health Literacy scale in patients undergoing bariatric surgery in Sweden: a prospective psychometric evaluation study. BMJ Open 2021; 11:e056592. [PMID: 34848528 PMCID: PMC8634233 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2021-056592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2021] [Accepted: 11/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim was to psychometrically test and evaluate the Swedish functional health literacy scale and the Swedish communicative and critical health literacy scale in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. DESIGN A prospective cross-sectional psychometric study. SETTING Patients from three bariatric centres in Sweden were consecutively included in this study. PARTICIPANTS A total of 704 patients undergoing bariatric surgery filled in the questionnaires preoperatively. Inclusion criteria were scheduled for primary bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) and greater than 17 years, proficiency in Swedish. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY MEASURES Psychometric outcomes of the Swedish Functional Health Literacy scale and the Swedish Communicative and Critical Health Literacy scale. RESULTS There was a higher proportion of females (74.4%, n=523) to males (25.6%, n=180). The mean age was 42 years (SD 11.5). Limited functional health literacy and limited communicative and critical health literacy (including both inadequate and problematic health literacy) was reported in 55% (n=390) and 40% (n=285), respectively. Cronbach alpha for the Swedish Functional Health Literacy scale was α=0.86 and for the Swedish Communicative and Critical Health Literacy scale, α=0.87. Construct validity showed weak to negative correlations between the Swedish Functional Health Literacy scale and income, education and SF-36/RAND36 summary scores. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a one-factor solution for the Swedish Functional Health Literacy scale and a two-factor solution for the Swedish Communicative and Critical Health Literacy scale. CONCLUSIONS The Swedish Functional Health Literacy scale and the Swedish Communicative and Critical Health Literacy scale are valid and reliable to use for patients undergoing bariatric surgery in a Swedish context. Measuring dimensions of health literacy can be used as a guide for the development of health literacy friendly patient information in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

Gastrointestinal quality of life before and short- and long-term after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for severe obesity. Surg Obes Relat Dis 2021; 17:1583-1590. [PMID: 34099420 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2021.05.019] [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: 03/01/2021] [Revised: 04/26/2021] [Accepted: 05/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Overall quality of life (QoL) is generally improved after bariatric surgery. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms including abdominal pain have been reported in up to >30% of patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and may negatively influence QoL, especially GI-QoL. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the evolution of GI symptoms and GI-QoL short- and long-term after RYGB. SETTING Two public hospitals METHODS: Candidates for bariatric surgery (n = 128, BMI = 44.2 ± 7.4) or patients who had undergone RYGB 2-4 years (n = 161, BMI = 29.3 ± 15.9) and 5-10 years (n = 121, BMI = 31.3 ± 6.5) before were invited to complete a questionnaire combining 3 validated questionnaires (GIQLI, GSRS, and PCS) specifically designed to evaluate GI-QoL. Scores were compared between the preoperative, early, and late postoperative periods. RESULTS The GIQLI score improved from 88.1 before surgery to 118.6 (P < .0001) and 109.7 (P < .0001) in the early and late postoperative periods respectively. GSRS score improved from 15.6 to 10.1 (P = .0001) and 12.8 (P = .012), and PCS-score improved from 19 to 4.5 (P = .0001) and 8.3 (P = .0001), respectively. The GI subscore of the GIQLI improved from 57.4 to 62.1 (P = .007) in the early period but was not significantly different in the late period (59.3 versus 57.4, P = .3). The psychological impact of GI symptoms decreased at both postoperative time points. CONCLUSION GI-QoL is markedly improved after RYGB, and this improvement persists up to 10 years. GI symptoms decrease early after surgery and do not worsen in the longer term. Their psychological impact is markedly reduced.

Abstract
PURPOSE Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is increasingly used in adolescents. The aim was to explore symptoms of depression and anxiety in young adults over 5 years' follow-up after undergoing MBS. METHODS Beck Depression Inventory-2 and the Beck Anxiety Inventory were used to assess symptoms of depression and anxiety in 62 patients 1, 2, and 5 years after having Roux-en-Y gastric bypass at 13-18 years of age. Mental health, eating-related problems, and weight outcomes were tested for association with suicidal ideation at the 5-year follow-up. RESULTS At the 5-year follow-up, the mean score for depression was 11.4 (± 12.4), indicating minimal symptoms of depression. The mean score for anxiety was 12.82 (± 11.50), indicating mild anxiety symptoms. Still, several participants reported moderate or severe symptoms of depression (26%) and anxiety (32%). Women reported more symptoms than men (P = 0.03 and 0.04). No significant changes were found in self-reported symptoms of depression and anxiety between the 1-year and the 5-year follow-up (P = 0.367 and 0.934). Suicidal ideation was reported by 16% at the 5-year follow-up. Participants reporting suicidal ideation had lost significantly less excess weight than participants without suicidal ideation (P = 0.009). CONCLUSION Five years after adolescent MBS, a substantial minority still struggles with mental health issues, and women are more burdened than men. Our results indicate an association between less optimal weight loss and suicidal ideation 5 years after MBS. The findings emphasize the importance of offering long-term follow-up and mental health treatment several years after MBS. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, cohort study. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION The study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00289705). First posted February 10, 2006.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sex influences health and related behaviors due to biological and psychosocial/socioeconomic factors. Assessing sex-specific responses to integrated treatment for comorbid obesity and depression could inform intervention targeting. PURPOSE To test (a) whether sex moderates the effects of integrated collaborative care on weight and depression outcomes through 24 months and (b) whether treatment response at 6 months predicts 12 and 24 month outcomes by sex. METHODS Secondary data analyses on weight and depression severity (SCL-20) measured over 24 months among 409 adults with obesity and depression in the Research Aimed at Improving Both Mood and Weight trial. RESULTS Men achieved significantly greater weight reductions in intervention versus usual care than women, whereas women achieved significantly greater percentage reductions in SCL-20 than men at both 12 and 24 months. In logistic models, at 80% specificity for correctly identifying participants not achieving clinically significant long-term outcomes, women who lost <3.0% weight and men who lost <4.1% weight at 6 months had ≥84% probability of not meeting 5% weight loss at 24 months. Similarly, at 80% specificity, women who reduced SCL-20 by <39.5% and men who reduced by <53.0% at 6 months had ≥82% probability of not meeting 50% decrease in SCL-20 at 24 months. CONCLUSIONS Sex modified the integrated treatment effects for obesity and depression. Sex-specific responses at 6 months predicted clinically significant weight loss and depression outcomes through 24 months. Based on early responses, interventions may need to be tailored to address sex-specific barriers and facilitators to achieving healthy weight and depression outcomes at later time points.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite an association between obesity and multiple sclerosis (MS), very little is known regarding the safety and efficacy outcomes for patients with MS and severe obesity undergoing metabolic surgery. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate early complications and efficacy outcomes of metabolic surgery in patients with severe obesity and MS. SETTING Nationwide, Sweden. METHODS In this, matched cohort study, 196 patients with an MS diagnosis in the Swedish MS register who were undergoing metabolic surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) with a registration in the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg) were matched 1:10 with a control group without MS diagnosis from the SOReg. A 2-stage matching procedure was used (exact match by surgical method, followed by propensity Score matching, including age, sex, preoperative BMI, surgical center, surgical access, year of surgery, hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea, and dyslipidemia). RESULTS Weight loss at 2 years after surgery was similar for patients with MS and controls (total weight loss 31.6 ± 9.1 versus 31.8 ± 9.2, P = .735). No significant differences were seen in either the overall postoperative complication rate (7.9% versus 7.2%, P = .778), or serious postoperative complications (3.7% versus 2.8%, P = .430). All aspects of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) improved in both groups but less so for the physical aspects of HRQoL in patients with MS. CONCLUSION Metabolic surgery is a safe and efficient treatment for severe obesity in patients with MS, and it leads to subsequent improvements in HRQoL. Further studies addressing the effects of metabolic surgery on MS-related symptoms are needed.

Abstract
Importance Identifying effective weight loss interventions for Latino adults at risk of diabetes is of critical public health importance. Objective To determine whether a culturally adapted behavioral intervention for Latino adults was more effective than usual care for weight loss over 24 months. Design, Setting, and Participants In this randomized clinical trial, Latino adults with a body mass index (BMI; calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) of 24 or greater and a high risk for type 2 diabetes were recruited in primary care practices in the San Francisco, California, area, randomized to receive the Vida Sana intervention or usual care, and followed up for 24 months. The study was conducted from November 2015 to May 2019, and data were analyzed from July 2019 to Septmeber 2020. Interventions The treatment group received Vida Sana, a culturally adapted lifestyle intervention that included a family-based orientation session and 22 group sessions over 12 months. Participants were encouraged to use a wearable activity tracker and mobile applications to track their physical activity and dietary intake. Participants received monthly email messages for an additional 12 months. The control group received usual care. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was weight loss at 24 months. Secondary outcomes included weight loss at 12 months and achieving at least 5% weight loss at 12 and 24 months. Associations of baseline characteristics and intervention adherence with weight loss outcomes were also examined. Results Among 191 participants (mean [SD] age, 50.2 [12.2] years; 118 [61.8%] women; 107 participants [57.2%] of Mexican origin; mean [SD] baseline BMI, 32.4 [5.7]) randomized, 92 participants were randomized to the intervention and 99 participants were randomized to usual care. Of these, 185 participants (96.9%) completed 24-month follow-up. Mean (SD) weight loss did not differ significantly by group at 24 months (intervention: -1.1 [5.7] kg; control: -1.1 [7.1] kg; P = .93). However, mean (SD) weight loss was significantly greater in the intervention group (-2.6 [6.0] kg) than the control group (-0.3 [4.2] kg) at 12 months (mean difference, -2.1 [95% CI, -3.6 to -0.7] kg; P = .005). Intervention participants were more likely to achieve at least 5% weight loss than control participants at 12 months (22 participants [25.9%] vs 9 participants [9.2%]; P = .003), and participants who achieved at least 5% weight loss attended more intervention sessions than those who did not (mean [SD], 16.6 [7.6] sessions vs 12.4 [7.5] sessions; P = .03). Conclusions and Relevance These findings suggest that among Latino adults with high diabetes risk, a culturally adapted behavioral lifestyle intervention was effective for weight loss over 12 months but not 24 months.

Abstract
While patient-reported outcome measures are available to evaluate health-related quality of life and functioning in obesity, existing measures do not evaluate the impact of excess weight and weight loss on the ability to perform regularly occurring daily activities. Three iterative sets of qualitative interviews were conducted in two countries (United States, n = 23; United Kingdom, n = 23) with individuals with body mass index ≥30 kg/m2 to inform development of the Impact of Weight on Daily Activities Questionnaire (IWDAQ) for use in clinical trials to evaluate daily activity limitations associated with excess weight. Candidate concepts were selected based on the literature, expert opinion, and previously conducted qualitative research, after which the draft IWDAQ was developed and tested. Interviews included a brief concept elicitation phase, followed by cognitive debriefing during which the IWDAQ was refined based upon participants' feedback. The IWDAQ uses a novel, adaptive questionnaire design, such that clinical trial participants choose the three IWDAQ activities they would most like to improve with weight loss and rate the degree of limitation in each of these activities at baseline. By allowing individuals participating in trials to identify and monitor changes in the activities they most want to see improve with weight loss, the 19-item IWDAQ has the potential to detect the benefits of weight-loss treatment that individuals with obesity value most.

Abstract
Objective Obesity is associated with reduced health‐related quality of life (HRQoL). Outcomes of nonsurgical weight loss treatment on HRQoL are inconsistent and it is unclear how much weight reduction, or what type of treatment, is required for significant improvements. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a lifestyle intervention program on weight, eating behaviors, and HRQoL, and to describe participants' experiences of treatment. Methods This 2‐year intervention trial in persons with class II or III obesity comprised a 3‐month liquid low‐energy diet (880 kcal/d) followed by a 3‐month reintroduction to regular foods, combined with behavioral group treatment. Results Fifty‐five participants (73% women) were included, mean (SD) age 43.2 (12.4) years, and mean body mass index 42.0 (6.0) kg/m2. Mean weight loss at 6, 12, and 24 months was 18.9%, 13.7%, and 7.2%, respectively. Short‐ and long‐term effects on eating behavior were favorable. Twelve of 14 HRQoL domains were improved at 6 months, compared to eight domains at 12 months. After 24 months, 2 of 14 domains, physical and psychosocial functioning, were improved. The treatment program was well accepted by the participants. Conclusions Substantial weight loss after 6 months was associated with extensive improvements in HRQoL, comprising the physical, psychosocial, and mental domains. Significant weight regain was observed between 6 and 24 months follow‐up. Modest weight loss after 24 months was associated with moderate improvement in physical functioning and large improvement in psychosocial functioning. The effect on psychosocial functioning is most likely related to both weight loss and behavioral treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Distal Roux-en-Y gastrojejunal bypass (DRYGJB) gives better weight reduction than standard Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) but at the risk of increased malnutrition side-effects. This study compared the effects of RYGB and DRYGJB on gastrointestinal symptoms, eating patterns and health-related quality of life (QoL). METHODS This was a single-blind RCT from a university-affiliated obesity centre. Patients with a BMI of 50 kg/m2 or above were invited to participate. Treatment arms were standard gastric bypass with an alimentary limb of 150 cm and a biliopancreatic limb of 60 cm, with a variable common channel length, or DRYGJB with biliopancreatic limb of 200 cm, common channel limb of 150 cm and variable alimentary limb length. Baseline and follow-up data to 5 years on quality of life, obesity-related problems and gastrointestinal symptoms were collected using prospectively created and validated questionnaires. RESULTS Some 140 patients were included. Those with a DRYGJB had better weight loss at 5 years (mean(s.d.) 68·3(21·8) kg versus 55·7(19·8) kg for standard RYGB; P = 0·011). Eating patterns improved, with no difference between the groups. Gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhoea, indigestion) worsened significantly in both groups, but only patients with DRYGJB had significantly worse diarrhoea at the end of the study than at baseline (P = 0·006). Both groups had improved perceived generic QoL over baseline, and obesity-related problems were markedly reduced. CONCLUSION Standard RYGB and both improved generic and disease-specific QoL and eating behavioural pattern. Diarrhoea was increased more following DRYGJB than after RYGB.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review describes the latest evidence for the impact of bariatric surgery on health-related quality of life (HRQL). RECENT FINDINGS The impact of bariatric surgery on HRQL is less well-understood than its clinical effectiveness on weight and co-morbidities. Poor-quality study design and different HRQL measures challenge systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Available limited evidence suggests that physical aspects of HRQL may improve more than mental health aspects of HRQL after bariatric surgery, reaching maximal benefits 1-2 years post-surgery. Comparative HRQL analyses between bariatric procedures cannot be made due to a lack of randomised data. Qualitative research highlights the tensions patients experience after bariatric surgery, which provides insights to observed changes in HRQL. Standardized HRQL measures are being developed and agreed to improve future evidence synthesis. Two multi-centre randomised trials of bariatric surgical procedures including detailed HRQL assessment are in progress. It is hoped that the combination of comparative high-quality HRQL data and information from qualitative studies will provide new insights into patient well-being and health after bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Despite evidence for effective integrated behavior therapy for treating comorbid obesity and depression, treatment response is highly variable and the underlying neurobiological mechanisms remain unknown. This hampers efforts to identify mechanistic targets in order to optimize treatment precision and potency. Funded within the NIH Science of Behavior Change (SOBC) Research Network, the 2-phased ENGAGE research project applies an experimental precision medicine approach to address this gap. The Phase 1 study focused on demonstrating technical feasibility, target engagement and potential neural mechanisms of responses to an integrated behavior therapy. This therapy combines a video-based behavioral weight loss program and problem-solving therapy for depression, with as-needed intensification of antidepressant medications, and its clinical effectiveness was demonstrated within a parent randomized clinical trial. Here, we describe the ENGAGE Phase 2 (ENGAGE-2) study protocol which builds on Phase 1 in 2 ways: (1) pilot testing of an motivational interviewing-enhanced, integrated behavior therapy in an independent, primarily minority patient sample, and (2) evaluation of a priori defined neural targets, specifically the negative affect (threat and sadness) circuits which demonstrated engagement and malleability in Phase 1, as mediators of therapeutic outcomes. Additionally, the Phase 2 study includes a conceptual and methodological extension to explore the role of microbiome-gut-brain and systemic immunological pathways in integrated behavioral treatment of obesity and depression. This protocol paper documents the conceptualization, design and the transdisciplinary methodologies in ENGAGE-2, which can inform future clinical and translational research in experimental precision medicine for behavior change and chronic disease management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with low socioeconomic status have been reported to experience poorer outcome after several types of surgery. The influence of socioeconomic factors on health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) after bariatric surgery is unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients operated with a primary laparoscopic gastric bypass procedure in Sweden between 2007 and 2015 were identified in the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Register. Patients with a completed assessment of health-related quality-of-life based on the Obesity-related Problem Scale (OP Scale) were included in the study. Socioeconomic status was based on data from Statistics Sweden. RESULTS A total of 13,723 patients (32% of the 43,096 operated during the same period), with complete OP scores at baseline and two years after surgery, were included in the study. Age, lower preoperative BMI, male gender, higher education, professional status and disposable income as well as not receiving social benefits (not including retirement pension), and not a first- or second-generation immigrant, were associated with a higher postoperative HRQoL. Patients aged 30-60 years, with lower BMI, higher socioeconomic status, women and those born in Sweden by Swedish parents experienced a higher degree of improvement in HRQoL. Postoperative weight-loss was associated with higher HRQoL (unadjusted B 16.3, 95%CI 14.72-17.93, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION At 2 years, a strong association between weight loss and improvement in HRQoL was seen, though several factors influenced the degree of improvement. Age, sex, preoperative BMI and socioeconomic status all influence the postoperative HRQoL as well as the improvement in HRQoL after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery.

Using Bayesian Networks to Predict Long-Term Health-Related Quality of Life and Comorbidity after Bariatric Surgery: A Study Based on the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry. J Clin Med 2020; 9:E1895. [PMID: 32560424 PMCID: PMC7356516 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9061895] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Revised: 06/15/2020] [Accepted: 06/15/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Previously published literature has identified a few predictors of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after bariatric surgery. However, performance of the predictive models was not evaluated rigorously using real world data. To find better methods for predicting prognosis in patients after bariatric surgery, we examined performance of the Bayesian networks (BN) method in predicting long-term postoperative HRQoL and compared it with the convolution neural network (CNN) and multivariable logistic regression (MLR). The patients registered in the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg) were used for the current study. In total, 6542 patients registered in the SOReg between 2008 and 2012 with complete demographic and preoperative comorbidity information, and preoperative and postoperative 5-year HROoL scores and comorbidities were included in the study. HRQoL was measured using the RAND-SF-36 and the obesity-related problems scale. Thirty-five variables were used for analyses, including 19 predictors and 16 outcome variables. The Gaussian BN (GBN), CNN, and a traditional linear regression model were used for predicting 5-year HRQoL scores, and multinomial discrete BN (DBN) and MLR were used for 5-year comorbidities. Eighty percent of the patients were randomly selected as a training dataset and 20% as a validation dataset. The GBN presented a better performance than the CNN and the linear regression model; it had smaller mean squared errors (MSEs) than those from the CNN and the linear regression model. The MSE of the summary physical scale was only 0.0196 for GBN compared to the 0.0333 seen in the CNN. The DBN showed excellent predictive ability for 5-year type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia (area under curve (AUC) = 0.942 and 0.917, respectively), good ability for 5-year hypertension and sleep apnea syndrome (AUC = 0.891 and 0.834, respectively), and fair ability for 5-year depression (AUC = 0.750). Bayesian networks provide useful tools for predicting long-term HRQoL and comorbidities in patients after bariatric surgery. The hybrid network that may involve variables from different probability distribution families deserves investigation in the future.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION An integrated collaborative care intervention was successful for treating comorbid obesity and depression. The effect of the integrated intervention on secondary outcomes of quality of life and psychosocial functioning were examined, as well as whether improvements in these secondary outcomes were correlated with improvements in the primary outcomes of weight and depressive symptoms. STUDY DESIGN This RCT compared an integrated collaborative care intervention for obesity and depression to usual care. Data were analyzed in 2018. SETTING/PARTICIPANTS Adult primary care patients (n=409) with a BMI ≥30 (≥27 if Asian) and 9-Item Patient Health Questionnaire score ≥10 were recruited from September 30, 2014 to January 12, 2017 from primary care clinics in Northern California. INTERVENTION The 12-month intervention integrated a behavioral weight loss program and problem-solving therapy with as-needed antidepressant medications for depression. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES A priori secondary outcomes included health-related quality of life (Short Form-8 Health Survey), obesity-specific quality of life (Obesity-Related Problems Scale), sleep disturbance and sleep-related impairment (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System), and functional disability (Sheehan Disability Scale) at baseline and 6 and 12 months. RESULTS Participants randomized to the intervention experienced significantly greater improvements in obesity-specific problems, mental health-related quality of life, sleep disturbance, sleep-related impairment, and functional disability at 6 months but not 12 months. Improvements in obesity-related problems (β=0.01, 95% CI=0.01, 0.02) and sleep disturbance (β= -0.02, 95% CI= -0.04, 0) were associated with lower BMI. Improvements in the physical (β= -0.01, 95% CI= -0.01, 0) and mental health components (β= -0.02, 95% CI= -0.03, -0.02) of the Short Form-8 Health Survey as well as sleep disturbance (β=0.01, 95% CI=0.01, 0.02) and sleep-related impairment (β=0.01, 95% CI=0, 0.01) were associated with fewer depressive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS An integrated collaborative care intervention for obesity and depression that was shown previously to improve weight and depressive symptoms may also confer benefits for quality of life and psychosocial functioning over 6 months. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study is registered at clinicaltrials.gov NCT02246413.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for obesity, which has been increasing worldwide. However, bariatric surgery causes dramatic physical changes that can cause significant stress. Prior research has found that psychological variables such as personality traits and levels of psychopathology can influence success after bariatric surgery (in terms of body mass index [BMI] reduction and weight loss). However, most prior studies have been limited by small sample sizes, inconsistent follow up, and categorical assessment of psychopathology. METHOD The present study examines the predictive utility of the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) scales for three bariatric surgery outcomes (BMI reduction, weight loss, and percent excess weight loss [%EWL]) across 10 follow-up points 5 years after surgery. It also examines the largest sample of bariatric surgery-completing patients (N = 2,267) on the PAI to date. Latent growth modeling was used to examine change in the outcome variables. RESULTS Results indicate that personality and psychopathology variables predicted less BMI reduction, weight loss, and %EWL 5 years after surgery and also affected the trajectories of change in the outcome variables across time. The PAI scales predicted more variance in the 5-year BMI outcomes than did age and gender. The most robust effects were for scales assessing phobias, traumatic stress, identity problems, and negative relationships. CONCLUSION The PAI may be useful to clinical health psychologists who conduct recommended psychological evaluations with potential bariatric surgery candidates.

Abstract
Background Long-term evaluations 10 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are limited. We report the development in weight and cardiovascular risk factors during 10 years after laparoscopic RYGB, with evaluation of gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life (QoL) at 10-year follow-up. Methods We performed a prospective longitudinal cohort study. Patients operated with laparoscopic RYGB from May 2004 to November 2006 were invited to 10-year follow-up consultations. Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) questionnaire and two QoL questionnaires were used for analyses of gastrointestinal symptoms and QoL. Results A total of 203 patients were operated; nine (4.4%) died during follow-up. Of 194 eligible patients, 124 (63.9%) attended 10-year follow-up consultations. Percent excess weight loss (%EWL) and percent total weight loss (%TWL) at 10 years were 53.0% and 24.1%, respectively. %EWL > 50% was seen in 53.2%. Significant weight regain (≥15%) from 2 to 10 years was seen in 63.3%. Remission rates of type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension were 56.8%, 46.0%, and 41.4%, respectively. Abdominal operations beyond 30 days after RYGB were reported in 33.9%. Internal hernia and ileus (13.7%) and gallstone-related disease (9.7%) were the most common causes. Vitamin D deficiency (<50nmol/L) was seen in 33.3%. At 10 years, bothersome abdominal pain and indigestion symptoms (GSRS scores ≥3) were reported in 42.9% and 54.0%, respectively, and were associated with low QoL. Conclusion We observed significant weight loss and remission of comorbidities 10 years after RYGB. Significant weight regain occurred in a substantial subset of patients. Gastrointestinal symptoms were common and negatively impacted QoL.

Prediction of Suicide and Nonfatal Self-harm After Bariatric Surgery: A Risk Score Based on Sociodemographic Factors, Lifestyle Behavior, and Mental Health: A Nonrandomized Controlled Trial. Ann Surg 2019; 274:339-345.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify preoperative sociodemographic and health-related factors that predict higher risk of nonfatal self-harm and suicide after bariatric surgery. BACKGROUND Evidence is emerging that bariatric surgery is related to an increased risk of suicide and self-harm, but knowledge on whether certain preoperative characteristics further enhance the excess risk is scarce. METHODS The nonrandomized, prospective, controlled Swedish Obese Subjects study was linked to 2 Nationwide Swedish registers. The bariatric surgery group (N = 2007, per-protocol) underwent gastric bypass, banding or vertical banded gastroplasty, and matched controls (N = 2040) received usual care. Participants were recruited from 1987 to 2001, and information on the outcome (a death by suicide or nonfatal self-harm event) was retrieved until the end of 2016. Subhazard ratios (sub-HR) were calculated using competing risk regression analysis. RESULTS The risk for self-harm/suicide was almost twice as high in surgical patients compared to control patients both before and after adjusting for various baseline factors [adjusted sub-HR = 1.98, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.34-2.93]. Male sex, previous healthcare visits for self-harm or mental disorders, psychiatric drug use, and sleep difficulties predicted higher risk of self-harm/suicide in the multivariate models conducted in the surgery group. Interaction tests further indicated that the excess risk for self-harm/suicide related to bariatric surgery was stronger in men (sub-HR = 3.31, 95% CI = 1.73-6.31) than in women (sub-HR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.02-2.32) (P = 0.007 for adjusted interaction). A simple-to-use score was developed to identify those at highest risk of these events in the surgery group. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that male sex, psychiatric disorder history, and sleep difficulties are important predictors for nonfatal self-harm and suicide in postbariatric patients. High-risk patients who undergo surgery might require regular postoperative psychosocial monitoring to reduce the risk for future self-harm behaviors.
