Abstract
BACKGROUND Up to 50% of adolescents who undergo metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) have obesity 3 years post-MBS, placing them at continued risk for the consequences of obesity. OBJECTIVES We conducted an open-label, 16-week pilot study of liraglutide in adolescents with obesity after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) to investigate liraglutide effects on weight and body mass index (BMI) post-SG. METHODS Adolescents aged 12-20.99 years with obesity and a history of SG ≥1 year prior were enrolled. Liraglutide was initiated at 0.6 mg/day, escalated weekly to a maximum of 3 mg/day, with treatment duration 16 weeks. Fasting laboratory assessments and an oral glucose tolerance test were performed at baseline and end-treatment. RESULTS A total of 43 participants were screened, 34 initiated liraglutide (baseline BMI 41.2 ± 7.7 kg/m2), and 31 (91%) attended the end-treatment visit. BMI decreased by 4.3% (p < 0.001) with liraglutide. Adolescents who had poor initial response to SG (<20% BMI reduction at BMI nadir) had less weight loss with liraglutide. Fasting glucose and haemoglobin A1C concentrations significantly decreased. There were no serious treatment-emergent adverse events reported. CONCLUSIONS Liraglutide treatment was feasible and associated with a BMI reduction of 4.3% in adolescents who had previously undergone SG, quantitatively similar to results obtained in adolescents with obesity who have not undergone MBS.

Srivastava G. Diagnostic challenge: A pediatric patient with severe obesity and complications of imminent death. OBESITY PILLARS (ONLINE) 2023; 7:100077. [PMID: 37990678 PMCID: PMC10661896 DOI: 10.1016/j.obpill.2023.100077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023]
Abstract
Background A 15-year-old patient suffering from severe obesity (400 pounds, BMI 71.6 kg/m2) with a clinical phenotype suggestive of syndromic obesity was hospitalized for severe heart failure and cardiogenic shock. The hospital admission prompted a palliative care and heart transplant consultation given end-stage-disease and poor prognosis. It further necessitated a pediatric inpatient obesity consult, which was complicated by several significant hurdles including lack of insurance coverage, FDA approvals, availability of medications, and inadequate knowledge among the medical community. Methods Innovative treatment, proactive, persistent advocacy, anti-obesity medication combination strategies modeled after diabetes and hypertension treatment algorithms, and latest evidence in obesity management were utilized to effectively and expeditiously overcome major challenges to care and the medical emergency. Results The patient was stabilized and ultimately discharged home, after -25.2% weight loss over 4 months (weight down to 299 pounds, BMI 49.9 kg/m2) through collaborative medical obesity intervention. Conclusion The typical delay in care sought by patients suffering from obesity, often due to stigma and lack of disease awareness, results in missed opportunities to prevent serious obesity-related complications. Skilled specialist expertise, fund of obesity-specific knowledge, and constant advocacy can be crucial in surmounting regulatory barriers to obesity care and in generating successful weight loss outcomes.

Fasting indices of glucose-insulin-metabolism across life span and prediction of glycemic deterioration in children with obesity from new diagnostic cut-offs. THE LANCET REGIONAL HEALTH. EUROPE 2023; 30:100652. [PMID: 37465325 PMCID: PMC10350850 DOI: 10.1016/j.lanepe.2023.100652] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2022] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/20/2023]
Abstract
Background Fasting indices of glucose-insulin-metabolism are an easy and affordable tool to assess insulin resistance. We aimed to establish reference ranges for fasting insulin indices that reflect age-dependent variation over the entire life span and subsequently test their clinical application regarding the prediction of glycemic deterioration in children. Methods We calculated age- and puberty-dependent reference values for HOMA-IR, HOMA2-IR, HOMA-β, McAuley index, fasting insulin, and fasting glucose from 6994 observations of 5512 non-obese healthy subjects aged 5-80 years. Applying those references, we determined the prevalence of insulin resistance among 2538 subjects with obesity. Furthermore, we investigated the intraindividual stability and the predictive values for future dysglycemia of these fasting indices in 516 children and adolescents with obesity up to 19 years of follow-up. We validated the results in three independent cohorts. Findings There was a strong age-dependent variation of all indices throughout the life span, including prolonged recovery of pubertal insulin resistance and a subsequent continuous increase throughout adulthood. Already from age 5 years onwards, >40% of children with obesity presented with elevated parameters of insulin resistance. Applying newly developed reference ranges, insulin resistance among children with obesity doubled the risk for future glycemic deterioration (HOMA-IR HR 1.88 (95% CI 1.1-3.21)), fasting insulin HR 1.89 (95% CI 1.11-3.23). In contrast, fasting glucose alone was not predictive for emerging dysglycemia in children with obesity (HR 1.03 (95% CI 0.62-1.71)). The new insulin-based thresholds were superior to fasting glucose and HbA1c in detecting children eventually manifesting with dysglycemia in prospective analyses. Interpretation The variation of fasting glucose-insulin-metabolism across the life span necessitates age-specific reference ranges. The improved prediction of future glycemic deterioration by indices based on fasting insulin beyond simple glucose measures alone could help to stratify risk characteristics of children with obesity in order to guide patient-tailored prevention and intervention approaches.

Abstract
Background Metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is an effective treatment for adolescents with severe obesity. However, changes in mental, physical, and social factors, as well as their association with the extent of excess weight loss (%EWL) after MBS, remain controversial. Methods We followed 97 adolescents (64% females, aged 17 ± 0.9 years, BMI 46.1 ± 5.9 kg/m2) before and 9 months following MBS in a multi-center, prospective cohort study. Changes in mental, physical, and social factors were assessed by self-reported questionnaires, and associations with %EWL were evaluated after adjustment for potential confounders. Results The body mass index (BMI) decreased by 30%, and all physical parameters significantly improved (p ≤ 0.001). Energy level increased by 24%, mood level by 14%, and mental health by 9.5% (p ≤ 0.002). Social parameters were also improved, with a significant decrease in social rejection (p = 0.02), and an increase in participation in after-school social activities (p = 0.008). Mental health improvement was associated with baseline social rejection (r = 0.514, p < 0.001). The improvement in all factors was not related to the extent of %EWL. Conclusion Metabolic bariatric surgery MBS in adolescents led to a meaningful decrease in BMI and to an improvement in short-term physical, mental, and social factors that were not related to %EWL. Patients experiencing social rejection may improve their mental health following BS.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Subclinical atherosclerotic changes are noted in youth with diabetes; therefore, timely identification and management of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors including hyperlipidemia is crucial. We review the current guidelines for hyperlipidemia screening and treatment in youth with T1D and T2D. We discuss the efficacy of non-pharmacological strategies including dietary modifications, exercise, and glycemic control and pharmacological therapy. We summarize reported rates of treatment of diabetes-related hyperlipidemia in youth. RECENT FINDINGS Hyperlipidemia is prevalent among youth with T1D and T2D. Vast majority of youth with diabetes-related hyperlipidemia do not receive lipid-lowering treatments. There are several factors that contribute to suboptimal management of hyperlipidemia in youth with diabetes including limited data on efficacy and safety of statins in youth with diabetes. We propose strategies to improve hyperlipidemia management including education of providers and patients, quality improvement methods, and electronic health record alerts. Additionally, further studies are warranted to examine the safety of statins in youth with diabetes, cost-benefit analysis to aggressive screening and treatment, and long-term effect for improving cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, there are insufficient data on long-term outcomes of weight loss surgery in children and adolescents with obesity beyond 5 years of follow-up. This study aimed to analyze durability of weight loss and comorbidity resolution, growth velocity, and adverse events associated with laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) in children and adolescents with severe obesity. STUDY DESIGN In this prospective cohort study, 2,504 children and adolescents with class II/III obesity who were enrolled in a multidisciplinary, family-based pediatric obesity management program underwent LSG between 2008 and 2021. Weight loss, growth, comorbidity resolution, and adverse event data during the first 10 years after LSG were analyzed. RESULTS The cohort age was 5 to 21 years at the time of operation, and 55% were female. Mean ± SD percentage of excess weight lost during short- (1 to 3 years; n = 2,051), medium- (4 to 6 years; n = 1,268), and long-term (7 to 10 years; n = 632) follow-up was 82.3% ± 20.5%, 76.3% ± 29.1%, and 71.1% ± 26.9%, respectively. Complete comorbidity remission at long-term follow-up was observed in 74%, 59%, and 64% of type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension cases, respectively. Mean ± SD height z-score change at short-, medium-, and long-term follow-up was 0.1 ± 0.5, 0.1 ± 1.2, and 0.0 ± 0.8, respectively, representing no significant change in growth velocity. There were 27 adverse events (1%) with no procedure-related mortality. CONCLUSIONS Long-term follow-up after LSG in children and adolescents demonstrates durable weight loss, maintained comorbidity resolution, and unaltered growth.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition that clinically presents during adolescence. PCOS is associated with increased rates of overweight and obesity, as well as higher rates of metabolic disease, especially type 2 diabetes. Weight loss decreases PCOS symptoms and risk for metabolic disease. The goal of this review is to evaluate recent studies describing the hormonal, metabolic, and weight effects of different weight loss strategies: dietary, physical activity, pharmacotherapy, bariatric surgery, mood modification, and sleep. RECENT FINDINGS Calorie restriction continues to be supported as the primary nutrition intervention to achieve weight loss in individuals with PCOS, and a dietary macronutrient composition with lower compared to higher glycemic carbohydrates may be more effective. There is limited data that vitamins, nutraceuticals, and probiotics may improve hormonal and metabolic outcomes. Most types of physical activity are effective in improving outcomes in PCOS and lowering weight. Whereas there are promising data on anti-obesity medications such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in adults with PCOS and adolescents with obesity, further work is needed to know if these therapies are effective in youth with PCOS. Research is lacking on the effectiveness of other anti-obesity medications in PCOS. Bariatric surgery is especially promising for decreasing weight in adults and youth, and reversing type 2 diabetes in youth, though PCOS data are lacking. Treatment of depression in adolescents with insulin resistance and women with PCOS is associated with improved weight loss. Adolescents with PCOS and obesity may have greater sleep-related risks including circadian misalignment and obstructive sleep apnea, interventions for which have not yet been conducted. Clinical trials on weight loss strategies in adolescents with PCOS remain limited, with most information inferred from studies in women with PCOS or adolescents with obesity. However, there are multiple options to optimize weight loss in dietary, activity, pharmacotherapy, bariatric surgery, mood modification, and sleep domains.

Abstract
Pediatric obesity is a multifaceted disease that can impact physical and mental health. It is a complex condition that interweaves biological, developmental, environmental, behavioral, and genetic factors. In most cases lifestyle and behavioral modification as well as medical treatment led to poor short-term weight reduction and long-term failure. Thus, bariatric surgery should be considered in adolescents with moderate to severe obesity who have previously participated in lifestyle interventions with unsuccessful outcomes. In particular, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is considered the most commonly performed bariatric surgery worldwide. The procedure is safe and feasible. The efficacy of this weight loss surgical procedure has been demonstrated in pediatric age. Nevertheless, there are barriers at the patient, provider, and health system levels, to be removed. First and foremost, more efforts must be made to prevent decline in nutritional status that is frequent after bariatric surgery, and to avoid inadequate weight loss and weight regain, ensuring successful long-term treatment and allowing healthy growth. In this narrative review, we considered the rationale behind surgical treatment options, outcomes, and clinical indications in adolescents with severe obesity, focusing on LSG, nutritional management, and resolution of metabolic comorbidities.

Influence of Weight Loss on Obesity-Associated Complications After Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery in Adolescents. Obesity (Silver Spring) 2020; 28:2397-2404.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Following metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), most adolescents experience weight loss and improvement of many obesity-associated complications (OACs). The relationship between weight loss and remission of OACs after MBS in adolescents has not been well described. METHODS The Teen Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (Teen-LABS) is a multi-institutional prospective observational study of adolescents who underwent MBS between 2007 and 2012. Lower-weight-loss responders (LWLRs) were defined as having <20% total body weight loss (TBWL) and higher-weight-loss responders (HWLRs) were defined as having ≥20% TBWL at 5 years after MBS. The prevalence of OACs was compared at baseline and 5 years after MBS. RESULTS Both LWLRs (n = 114) and HWLRs (n = 78) lost significant weight within the first year following MBS; however, the TBWL at 5 years for the LWLRs was 8.6% ± 9.5% compared with 33.8% ± 9.2% for the HWLRs. Those in the HWLR group were more likely to experience durable remission of composite dyslipidemia at 5 years, whereas there were no differences between groups in remission rates of all other OACs. CONCLUSIONS Greater weight loss after MBS in adolescents was associated with greater remission of composite dyslipidemia; however, remission of other OACs was not dependent on major sustained weight loss.
