[PMID: 37991712 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-023-06955-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2023] [Revised: 11/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/23/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This systematic review and meta-analysis study aimed to estimate changes in blood nutrient concentrations and nutrient deficiencies in adolescents following bariatric surgery. METHODS We searched PubMed, Scopus, and the Web of Science to find studies published between January 2000 and August 2023. Observational studies reporting the mean blood concentration of nutrients before and after bariatric surgery or the proportion of nutrient deficiencies after the surgery in healthy adolescents were selected. RESULTS Fifteen studies were included. Gastric bypass and sleeve gastrostomy were the most common types of surgery. Vitamin D, iron, or ferritin, vitamin B12, calcium, and folic acid were the most studied nutrients, respectively. Other nutrients examined in the studies included zinc, phosphorus, and albumin. The serum ferritin increased by 21 mcg/L (95% CI = 10.0, 32.0 mcg/L) after the surgery, but there were no significant alterations in other nutrients. The postoperative prevalence of low albumin, ferritin, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 levels was 10%, 49%, 41%, and 20%, respectively. Also, 23% had an iron deficiency, and 10% had a calcium deficiency after bariatric surgery. CONCLUSIONS The serum ferritin level increased following bariatric surgery in adolescents. Vitamin D and ferritin deficiencies were estimated to be present in more than one-third of adolescents after the surgery.

Multiple nutritional deficiencies among adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery: who is at risk? Surg Obes Relat Dis 2021; 18:413-424. [PMID: 34930699 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2021.10.024] [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: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 10/01/2021] [Accepted: 10/31/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutritional deficiencies among adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery (BS) have not been evaluated a in relation to patient's sex. OBJECTIVES We compared the preoperative nutritional profile of adolescents characterized by sex and single versus multiple deficiencies. SETTING University hospital. METHODS Cross-sectional retrospective chart review of 415 eligible adolescents who underwent primary BS between 2011 and 2020. Data included preoperative demographic, anthropometric information as well as three sets of nutritional variables: anemia-related, calcium-related, and other nutritional variables. RESULTS The sample comprised 247 males (59.5%) with a mean age of 15.89 ± 1.03 years and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 47.80 ± 6.57 kg/m2. Most common deficiencies were vitamin D (92.3%), albumin (51.8%), anemia (15.9%), zinc (11.1%), and vitamin B12 (8%); 21.7% had hyperparathyroidism. Females exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of low hemoglobin, low hematocrit, and iron deficiency. Multiple deficiencies were present among 97.6%, 73.2%, 23.6%, 15%, and 12.6% of adolescents, who had vitamin D, albumin, hemoglobin, zinc, and vitamin B12 deficiencies, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that adolescents with a BMI of ≥50 kg/m2 were 1.24 times more likely to have multiple deficiencies (P = .004). Using multivariate log-binomial regression, BMI of ≥50 kg/m2 was a significant predictor of multiple nutritional deficiencies (P = .005, adjusted risk ratio = 1.23, 95% CI 1.06-1.42). Age and sex were not independent predictors of multiple nutritional deficiencies. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this study is the first to appraise single and multiple nutritional deficiencies in adolescents undergoing BS by sex. Multiple deficiencies were common. Females are at higher risk of anemia-related deficiencies. A BMI of ≥50 kg/m2 independently and significantly predicted multiple nutritional deficiencies. Correction before and monitoring after surgery are important.

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.

The effects of adolescent laparoscopic adjustable gastric band and sleeve gastrectomy on markers of bone health and bone turnover. Clin Obes 2020; 10:e12411. [PMID: 32896095 PMCID: PMC7935448 DOI: 10.1111/cob.12411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2020] [Revised: 08/19/2020] [Accepted: 08/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
25-hydroxy vitamin D (25 OHD) deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism have been seen after metabolic and bariatric surgery, but data are lacking on the bone health outcomes of adolescent sleeve gastrectomy (SG). The purpose of this study was to examine bone-related nutrition after SG, compared to laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB), and trend bone turnover markers following SG. This is an observational study of 197 adolescents who underwent LAGB (n = 98) or SG (n = 99). Bone health labs were collected at baseline and 6 and/or 12 months after LAGB or SG, with additional analysis of bone turnover markers in the SG group. Calcium and 25 OHD levels increased at 6 and 12 months after LAGB and SG, with no difference between the surgeries. Parathyroid hormone levels decreased only in the SG group. SG patients had increased osteocalcin and carboxy-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) at 6 and 12 months post-SG, although CTX decreased between 6 and 12 months. Excess weight loss at 6 months predicted the rise in CTX, but the changes in osteocalcin and CTX could not be attributed to 25 OHD deficiency, hypocalcemia or hyperparathyroidism. Patients had improved 25 OHD levels post-surgery, which may be secondary to stringent vitamin supplementation guidelines. However, there were marked increases in bone turnover markers following SG. More studies are needed to evaluate the effects of SG on adolescent bone health and to correlate the early changes in bone turnover with bone mineral density and fracture risk.

British Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Society Guidelines on perioperative and postoperative biochemical monitoring and micronutrient replacement for patients undergoing bariatric surgery-2020 update. Obes Rev 2020; 21:e13087. [PMID: 32743907 PMCID: PMC7583474 DOI: 10.1111/obr.13087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 110] [Impact Index Per Article: 27.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2020] [Revised: 05/21/2020] [Accepted: 05/31/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Bariatric surgery is recognized as the most clinically and cost-effective treatment for people with severe and complex obesity. Many people presenting for surgery have pre-existing low vitamin and mineral concentrations. The incidence of these may increase after bariatric surgery as all procedures potentially cause clinically significant micronutrient deficiencies. Therefore, preparation for surgery and long-term nutritional monitoring and follow-up are essential components of bariatric surgical care. These guidelines update the 2014 British Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Society nutritional guidelines. Since the 2014 guidelines, the working group has been expanded to include healthcare professionals working in specialist and non-specialist care as well as patient representatives. In addition, in these updated guidelines, the current evidence has been systematically reviewed for adults and adolescents undergoing the following procedures: adjustable gastric band, sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and biliopancreatic diversion/duodenal switch. Using methods based on Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network methodology, the levels of evidence and recommendations have been graded. These guidelines are comprehensive, encompassing preoperative and postoperative biochemical monitoring, vitamin and mineral supplementation and correction of nutrition deficiencies before, and following bariatric surgery, and make recommendations for safe clinical practice in the U.K. setting.

Abstract
In order to develop evidence-based recommendations and expert consensus for nutrition management of patients undergoing bariatric surgery and postoperative follow-up, we conducted a systematic literature search using PRISMA methodology plus critical appraisal following the SIGN and AGREE-II procedures. The results were discussed among all members of the GARIN group, and all members answered a Likert scale questionnaire to assess the degree of support for every recommendation. Patients undergoing bariatric surgery should be screened preoperatively for some micronutrient deficiencies and treated accordingly. A VLCD (Very Low-Calorie Diet) should be used for 4–8 weeks prior to surgery. Postoperatively, a liquid diet should be maintained for a month, followed by a semi-solid diet also for one month. Protein requirements (1–1.5 g/kg) should be estimated using adjusted weight. Systematic use of specific multivitamin supplements is encouraged. Calcium citrate and vitamin D supplements should be used at higher doses than are currently recommended. The use of proton-pump inhibitors should be individualised, and vitamin B12 and iron should be supplemented in case of deficit. All patients, especially pregnant women, teenagers, and elderly patients require a multidisciplinary approach and specialised follow-up. These recommendations and suggestions regarding nutrition management when undergoing bariatric surgery and postoperative follow-up have direct clinical applicability.

Abstract
Conventional nonsurgical management of severe obesity in the pediatric population and adolescents has focused on a multidisciplinary approach involving diet, exercise, behavioral modification, and to some extent, pharmaceuticals. Although nonsurgical strategies provide a certain degree of effective weight reduction, most of the severely obese adolescents suffer from a high relapse rate. In recent studies, long-term outcomes of bariatric surgery for severely obese adolescents have shown sustainable effects on weight loss and resolution of related comorbidities, such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus in this vulnerable age group. Notably, the role and practical benefits of bariatric surgery as a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach to adolescent obesity is gaining attention and acceptance. However, a surgical approach has many obstacles that prevent the timely evaluation and optimal intervention for adolescent obesity and its comorbidities. In the present review, the latest data on long-term outcomes after bariatric surgery for severely obese adolescents in terms of durability, effects on metabolic risk factors, complications, and optimal timing were summarized. The results showed the sustainability of weight loss and comorbidity resolution in adolescents following bariatric surgery. In addition, earlier surgery in patients without an extremely high body mass index increases the likelihood of a healthier life in adulthood. This review can help clarify the beneficial effects of bariatric surgery on weight reduction and resolution of comorbidities in severely obese adolescents and remove the barriers to referral of adolescents for bariatric surgery.

Abstract
Over the past decade, outcomes data have demonstrated the benefit of bariatric surgery in achieving both sustained weight loss and reversal of co-morbidities. Comparing these data to contemporary known risks of adolescent bariatric surgery informs the patients and providers considering bariatric procedures and provides insight into potential ways to reduce and manage complications. The goal of this article is to review the common surgical and postoperative complications following bariatric procedures and discuss approaches to improve their safety. A systematic review identifying bariatric surgery complications in adolescents was conducted. The review focused on the data relevant to adolescent bariatric surgery. However, when necessary, adult studies were used to address the gaps in available pediatric information. The data pertaining to the intraoperative, short term, and long term surgically related and nutritional related complications show that complication are declining with increasing experience. Specific recommendations and strategies to avoid major complications of bariatric surgery in adolescents are offered.

Abstract
Iron deficiency anemia remains a common referral to the pediatric hematology-oncology subspecialist. Improved understanding of iron homeostasis, including the effects of the regulatory hormone hepcidin, recent adult and pediatric clinical trial data, as well as the availability of safer formulations of intravenous iron, have resulted in additional considerations when making treatment recommendations in such patients. Young children and adolescent females remain the most commonly affected groups, but children with complex medical or chronic inflammatory conditions including comorbid gastrointestinal disorders also require special consideration.

Abstract
The long-term morbidity of obesity in adolescents is well recognized nationally and represents a major health concern for the population of the near future. Traditional medical management of obesity focuses on addressing behavioral modification, dietary and exercise programs, and, to a lesser degree, pharmaceuticals. Although these strategies are relatively effective, they suffer from the lack of sustained benefit, a high relapse rate, and, in case of pharmacotherapy, potentially dangerous adverse effects. Bariatric surgery in adolescents has often been characterized as a risky intervention with unknown long-term benefits. However, recent data establish that a sustained, clinically meaningful effect on weight loss, as well as a reduction in chronic morbidities related to obesity, can be achieved. The role of bariatric surgery as an accepted adjunctive strategy in the treatment of obesity in adolescents is becoming more recognized; however, a number of barriers exist that prevent the timely evaluation of adolescents with obesity for potential surgical intervention. We examine these barriers in light of recent advancements to help better define the role of bariatric surgery in the treatment of obesity in adolescent population.
