Zhang Z, Wang L, Wei Z, Zhang Z, Cui L, Jiang T. Analysis of the 1-year efficacy of four different surgical methods for treating Chinese super obese (BMI ≥ 50 kg/m 2) patients. Sci Rep 2024; 14:10451. [PMID: 38714716 PMCID: PMC11076457 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-60983-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/10/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the perioperative and postoperative follow-up data of patients with super obesity who had undergone RYGB, SG, BPD/DS, and SADI-S. A retrospective observational study was conducted to analyze the perioperative and postoperative follow-up data of 60 patients with super obesity who had undergone bariatric surgery. A total of 34 men and 26 women were included in this study. The participants had an average preoperative BMI of 53.81 ± 3.25 kg/m2. The body weight and BMI of all four patient groups decreased significantly at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively compared with the preoperative values. Additionally, the TWL (%) and EWL (%) of all four groups increased gradually over the same period. Compared with the preoperative values, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, glycosylated hemoglobin, uric acid, triglycerides, and total cholesterol decreased to varying degrees in the four groups 1 year postoperatively. RYGB, SG, BPD/DS, and SADI-S are all safe and effective in treating super obese patients and improving their metabolic diseases to a certain extent.

Liraglutide effectiveness in preoperative weight-loss for patients with severe obesity undergoing bariatric-metabolic surgery. Updates Surg 2024:10.1007/s13304-024-01828-0. [PMID: 38573447 DOI: 10.1007/s13304-024-01828-0] [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: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
Preoperative management of patients living with severe obesity can be challenging; in this context, the preoperative weight loss may help to obtain better outcomes and less morbidity for bariatric surgery. Therefore, we evaluated the effectiveness of GLP-1 analogue Liraglutide in preoperative weight loss. We performed a single-center, quasi-experimental prospective study. Eligible participants were adults in preoperative management for bariatric-metabolic surgery with body-mass index ≥ 48 kg/m2. All patients were assigned liraglutide treatment, with an initial dose of 0.6 mg subcutaneous per day, the dose was increased each week until reaching 3.0 mg for 12 weeks. Weight loss and body composition were evaluated monthly using bioelectric impedance (BIA) (InBody 770 Scale®). We analyzed data using descriptive statistics, central tendency measures and dispersion for quantitative variables and absolute and relative frequencies for qualitative variables. A total of 37 individuals were included in this study, 28 (76%) were female and 9 (24%) were males, with an average age of 44 years. About the BMI, 19 patients (51%) had a BMI > 50 kg/m2, 10 (27%) > 40 kg/m2 and 8 (22%) > 60 kg/m2; with a total average BMI of 56.04 kg/m2. The initial weight was 147.4 ± 14.9 kg which decreased to 139.3 ± 16.8 kg; after 3 months of liraglutide administration. A total of 35 patients had some degree of weight loss (94.6%), while 2 (5.40%) had no weight changes. The total weight loss was 5.50% at 3 months of liraglutide treatment. Liraglutide could be an effective adjuvant therapy for preoperative weight loss in patients living with severe obesity.

Is Morbid Obesity a Modifiable Risk Factor in Patients Who Have Severe Knee Osteoarthritis and do Not Have a Formal Perioperative Optimization Program? J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:658-664. [PMID: 37717836 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.09.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/03/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is considered a modifiable risk factor prior to total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however, little data support this hypothesis. Our purpose was to evaluate patients who have a body mass index (BMI) >40 presenting for TKA to determine the incidence of: (1) patients who achieved successful weight loss through nutritional modification or bariatric surgery and (2) patients who underwent TKA over the study period without the presence of a formal optimization program. METHODS This was a retrospective, single-center analysis. Inclusion criteria included: Kellgren and Lawrence grade 3 or 4 knee osteoarthritis, BMI >40 at presentation, and minimum 1-year follow-up (mean 45 months) (N = 624 patients). Demographics, weight loss interventions, pursuit of TKA, maximum BMI change, and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System scores were collected. Multivariable logistic and linear regressions evaluated associations of underlying demographic and treatment characteristics with outcomes. RESULTS There were 11% of patients who ended up pursuing TKA over the study period. Bariatric surgery was 3.7 times more likely to decrease BMI by minimum 10 compared to nonsurgical intervention (95% confidence interval [CI] [1.7, 8.1]; P = .001). Bariatric surgery resulted in mean BMI change of -3.3 (range, 0 to 22) compared to nonsurgical interventions (-2.6 [range, 0 to 12]) and no intervention (0.4 [range, 0 to 15]; P < .0001). Bariatric surgery patients were 3.1 times more likely to undergo TKA (95% CI [1.3, 7.1]; P = .008), and nonsurgical interventions were 2.4 times more likely to undergo TKA (95% CI [1.3, 4.5]; P = .006) compared to no intervention. Non-White patients across all interventions were less likely to experience loss >5 BMI compared to White patients (95% CI [0.2, 0.9]; P = .018). CONCLUSIONS Most patients were unable to reduce BMI more than 5 to 10 over a mean 4-year period without a formal weight optimization program. Utilization of bariatric surgery was most successful compared to nonsurgical interventions, although ultimate pursuit of TKA remained low in all cohorts.

Abstract
Prehabilitation is a comprehensive preparation of a patient for primarily surgical treatments. Its aim is to improve the patient'sgeneral condition so as to reduce the risk of complications and ensure the fastest possible recovery to full health. Thebasic components of prehabilitation include: improvement of nutritional status, appropriate exercises to improve functioning,psychological support, and help in eliminating addictions. Other important aspects of prehabilitation are: increasinghemoglobin levels in patients with anemia, achieving good glycemic control in patients with diabetes, treatment or stabilizationof any concurrent disorders, or specialist treatment associated with a specific procedure (endoprostheses, ostomyprocedure). This article organizes and outlines the indications for prehabilitation, its scope, duration, and the method to conductit. Experts of various specialties related to prehabilitation agree that it should be an element of surgery preparationwhenever possible, especially in patients with co-existing medical conditions who have been qualified for major procedures.Prehabilitation should be carried out by interdisciplinary teams, including family physicians and various specialists in thetreatment of comorbidities. Prehabilitation requires urgent systemic and reimbursement solutions.

Impact on Cardiovascular Health of Using Phentermine/Topiramate in Combination With Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Super Obesity. J Surg Res 2023; 286:41-48. [PMID: 36753948 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2022.12.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2022] [Revised: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Management of patients with BMI≥50 kg/m2 is challenging. In previous work, pre and postoperative pharmacotherapy with phentermine/topiramate plus laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (PT + SG) promoted greater weight loss than sleeve gastrectomy (SG) alone at 24 mo postoperatively. This current secondary analysis studied the impact of PT + SG on blood pressure (BP), heart rate, and antihypertensive usage. METHODS Patients with BMI≥50 kg/m2 planning to have SG (n = 13) were recruited from 2014 to 2016, at an academic medical center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for this open-label trial. Participants took phentermine/topiramate (PT; 7.5/46-15/92 mg/d) for ≥3 mo preoperatively and 24 mo postoperatively. The control group (n = 40) underwent SG during the same time frame. We used mixed models for BP and heart rate to compare PT + SG versus SG alone over time, adjusted for age, sex, and initial BP. RESULTS By 24 mo postoperatively the model adjusted changes in systolic blood pressure/diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP) (mm Hg) were -24.44 (-34.46,-14.43)/-28.60 (-40.74,-16.46) in the PT + SG group versus -11.81 (-17.58,-6.05)/-13.89 (-21.32,-6.46) in the control group (SBP P = 0.02; DBP P = 0.03). At baseline 8 (61.5%) participants in the PT + SG arm and 22 (55.0%) in the control group used antihypertensives. Excluding patients lost to follow-up (n = 3), by 24 mo postoperatively, none of the PT + SG participants were on antihypertensives compared to 14 (41.2%) in the control group (P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Patients with BMI≥50 kg/m2 treated with PT + SG had greater improvement in BP with no use of antihypertensive medication at 24 mo postoperatively versus SG alone, where 41% continued medication use. Larger trials are required to evaluate this.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many insurance companies mandate medically supervised weight loss programs (MSWLPs) prior to bariatric surgery. This retrospective study aims to elucidate whether the average 6-month preoperative medical-management period decreases preoperative BMI for those with BMI ≥ 50. METHODS All adult patients with bariatric consultation at any time at the New York University Langone Health campuses during the period 2015 to 2021 were evaluated via electronic medical records. Only patients with ≥ BMI 50, without previous bariatric surgeries, and those with 6-month insurance-mandated medical visits were included. A paired t-test was performed on the difference in BMI and percent-weight loss among the subjects at least 6 months before surgery and on the day of surgery. RESULTS Of the 130 patients with BMI ≥ 50, undergoing preoperative 6-month office weigh-ins, the mean difference in BMI was - 1.51 (P < 0.01). The mean total body weight loss was 4.8% (P < 0.01). There were no intraoperative complications nor 30-day complications or mortality in the group. CONCLUSIONS We found that there was weight loss during the 6-month insurance-mandated medical management prior to surgery, but the amount (4.8%) did not reach the goal target of 10% of body weight. We found that there were no complications and question the need for prolonged delay to surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical Mesh Infection (SMI) after Abdominal Wall Hernia Repair (AWHR) represents a catastrophic complication. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze the risk factors for SMI in the context of AWHR. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Scielo, and LILACS were searched without language or time restrictions from inception until June 2021. Articles evaluating the association between demographic, clinical, laboratory and surgical characteristics with SMI in AWHR were included. RESULTS 23 studies were evaluated, comprising a total of 118,790 patients (98% males; mean age 56.5 years) with a mesh infection pooled prevalence of 4%. Significant risk factors for SMI were type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, smoking history, steroids use, ASA III/IV, laparotomy vs laparoscopy, emergency surgery, duration of surgery and onlay mesh position vs sublay. The quality of evidence was regarded as very low-moderate. CONCLUSION Several factors, highlighting sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities, and the clinical scenario, may increase the risk of developing mesh infections in AWHR. The recognition and mitigation of these may significantly reduce mesh infection rates in this context.

Persistent sleep disturbance after spine surgery is associated with failure to achieve meaningful improvements in pain and health-related quality of life. Spine J 2021; 21:1325-1331. [PMID: 33774209 DOI: 10.1016/j.spinee.2021.03.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2020] [Revised: 01/05/2021] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Little is known about the effects of sleep disturbance (SD) on clinical outcomes after spine surgery. PURPOSE To determine the (1) prevalence of SD among patients presenting for spine surgery at an academic medical center; (2) correlations between SD and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scores; and (3) associations between postoperative SD resolution and short-term HRQoL. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review of prospectively collected data. PATIENT SAMPLE We included 508 adults undergoing spine surgery at 1 academic center between December 2014 and January 2018. OUTCOME MEASURES Participants completed the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) or Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Patient Reported Outcome Measurement System (PROMIS-29) questionnaire preoperatively, during the immediate postoperative period (6-12 weeks), and at 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery. METHODS Using preoperative PROMIS SD scores, we grouped participants as having no sleep disturbance (score <55), mild disturbance (score, 55-60), moderate disturbance (score 60-70), or severe disturbance (score, 70). For the final analysis, we collapsed these categories into no/mild and moderate/severe. Pearson correlation tests were used to assess correlations between SD and HRQoL measures. Regression analysis (adjusting for age, sex, comorbidities, current opioid use, and occurrence of complications) was used to estimate the effect of postoperative resolved or continuing SD on HRQoL scores and the likelihood of achieving clinically meaningful improvements in HRQoL. Alpha = 0.05. RESULTS Preoperative SD was reported by 127 participants (25%). SD was significantly correlated with worse ODI and/or NDI values and worse scores in all PROMIS health domains (all, p<.001). At the immediate postoperative assessment, SD had resolved in 80 of 127 participants (63%). Compared with participants who reported no preoperative SD, those with ongoing SD were significantly less likely to achieve clinically meaningful improvements in Pain Interference (odds ratio [OR], 0.49; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.28, 0.84), Physical Function (OR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.13, 0.82), and Satisfaction with Participation in Social Roles (OR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.37, 0.80). CONCLUSION One-quarter of spine surgery patients reported preoperative SD of at least moderate severity. Poor preoperative sleep quality and ongoing postoperative sleep disturbance were significantly associated with worse scores on several HRQoL measures. These results highlight the importance of addressing patients' sleep disturbance both before and after surgery.

Abstract
FDA approved anti-obesity medications may not be cost effective for patients struggling with pre-operative weight loss prior to bariatric surgery. Metformin, a biguanide, and Topiramate, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, both cost effective medications, have demonstrated weight loss when used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes or seizures, respectively. The aim of the three cases is to demonstrate the clinical utility of topiramate and metformin for preoperative weight loss in patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 50 kg/m2 prior to bariatric surgery who are unable to follow the bariatric nutritional prescription due to a dysregulated appetite system Each patient was prescribed metformin and/or topiramate in an off-label manner in conjunction with lifestyle modifications and achieved >8% total body weight loss during the preoperative period.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Perception of weight loss requirements before bariatric surgery varies among patients, physicians, and health insurance payers. Current clinical guidelines do not require preoperative weight loss because of a lack of scientific support regarding its benefits. OBJECTIVE To examine the association of preoperative body mass index (BMI) and weight loss with 30-day mortality after bariatric surgery. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cohort study used data from 480 075 patients who underwent bariatric surgery from 2015 to 2017 in the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program, which covers more than 90% of all bariatric surgery programs in the United States and Canada. Clinical and demographic data were collected at all participating institutions using a standardized protocol. Data analysis was performed from December 2018 to November 2019. EXPOSURES Preoperative BMI and weight loss. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES 30-day mortality after bariatric surgery. RESULTS Of the 480 075 patients (mean [SD] age 45.1 [12.0] years; 383 265 [79.8%] women), 511 deaths (0.1%) occurred within 30 days of bariatric surgery. Compared with patients with a preoperative BMI of 35.0 to 39.9, the multivariable-adjusted odds ratios for 30-day mortality for patients with preoperative BMI of 40.0 to 44.9, 45.0 to 49.9, 50.0 to 54.9, and 55.0 and greater were 1.37 (95% CI, 1.02-1.83), 2.19 (95% CI, 1.64-2.92), 2.61 (95% CI, 1.90-3.58), and 5.03 (95% CI, 3.78-6.68), respectively (P for trend < .001). Moreover, compared with no preoperative weight loss, the multivariable-adjusted odds ratios for 30-day mortality for patients with weight loss of more than 0% to less than 5.0%, 5.0% to 9.9%, and 10.0% and greater were 0.76 (95% CI, 0.60-0.96), 0.69 (95% CI, 0.53-0.90), and 0.58 (95% CI, 0.41-0.82), respectively (P for trend = .003). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this study, even moderate weight loss (ie, >0% to <5%) before bariatric surgery was associated with a lower risk of 30-day mortality. These findings may help inform future updates of clinical guidelines regarding bariatric surgery.

Efficacy of the treatment with dapagliflozin and metformin compared to metformin monotherapy for weight loss in patients with class III obesity: a randomized controlled trial. Trials 2020; 21:186. [PMID: 32059692 PMCID: PMC7023779 DOI: 10.1186/s13063-020-4121-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2019] [Accepted: 01/30/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Mexico has one of the highest prevalence rates of obesity worldwide. New pharmacological strategies that focus on people with class III obesity are required. Metformin and dapagliflozin are two drugs approved for the treatment of diabetes. Beyond its effects on glucose, metformin has been suggested by some studies to result in weight loss. Therapy with dapagliflozin is associated with a mild but sustained weight loss in patients with diabetes. The primary outcome of the study is to determine if the combined treatment with dapagliflozin and metformin is more effective than monotherapy with metformin for weight loss in patients with class III obesity and prediabetes or diabetes who are awaiting bariatric surgery (including those patients who do have surgery). We also aimed to assess the effect of this combined treatment on waist circumference, triglycerides, blood pressure, and inflammatory cytokines. Methods This randomized phase IV clinical trial will include patients with diabetes or prediabetes who are between the ages of 18 and 60 years and exhibit grade III obesity (defined as body mass index ≥ 40 kg/m2). Patients using insulin will be excluded. Subjects will be randomized to one of two groups as follows: 1) metformin tablets 850 mg PO bid or 2) metformin tablets 850 mg PO bid plus dapagliflozin tablets 10 mg PO qd. The sample size required is 108 patients, which allows for a 20% dropout rate: 54 patients in the metformin group and 54 in the metformin/dapagliflozin group. All participants will receive personalized nutritional advice during the study. A run-in period of one month will be used to assess tolerance and adherence to treatment regimens. Anthropometric and biochemical variables will be recorded at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. A serum sample to determine glucagon, ghrelin, adiponectin, resistin, interleukin 6, and interleukin 10 will be collected at baseline and before surgery, or at 12 months (whatever happens first). Adherence to treatment and adverse and secondary events will be recorded throughout the study. An intention-to-treat analysis will be used. Discussion Forty-six percent of the patients in our Obesity Clinic have been diagnosed with prediabetes (32%) or diabetes (14%). The use of dapagliflozin in this population could improve weight loss and other cardiovascular factors. This effect could be translated into less time before undergoing bariatric surgery and better control of associated comorbidities. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov, ID: NCT03968224. Retrospectively registered on May 29, 2019.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Ten percent of cirrhotic patients are known to have a high risk of postoperative complications. Ninety percent of bariatric patients suffer from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and 50% of them may develop non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) which can progress to cirrhosis. The aim of this study was to assess whether the presence of cirrhosis at the time of bariatric surgery is associated with an increased rate and severity of short- and long-term cirrhotic complications.
Methods
A cohort of 110 bariatric patients, between May 2003 and February 2018, who had undergone liver biopsy at the time of bariatric surgery were reassessed for histological outcome and divided into two groups based on the presence (C, n = 26) or absence (NC, n = 84) of cirrhosis. The NC group consisted of NASH (n = 49), NAFLD (n = 24) and non-NAFLD (n = 11) liver histology. Medical notes were retrospectively assessed for patient characteristics, development of 30-day postoperative complications, severity of complications (Clavien-Dindo (CD) classification) and length of stay. The C group was further assessed for long-term cirrhosis-related outcomes.
Results
The C group was older (52 years vs 43 years) and had lower BMI (46 kg/m2 vs 52 kg/m2) and weight (126 kg vs 145 kg) compared to the NC group (p < 0.05). The C group had significantly higher overall complication rate (10/26 vs 14/84, p < 0.05) and severity of complications (CD class ≥ III, 12% vs 7%, p < 0.05) when compared to the NC group. The length of stay was similar between the two groups (5 days vs 4 days). The C group had significant improvement in model end-stage liver disease scores (7 vs 6, p < 0.01) with median follow-up of 4.5 years (range 2–11 years). There were no long-term cirrhosis-related complications or mortality in our studied cohort (0/26).
Conclusion
Bariatric surgery in cirrhotic patients has a higher risk of immediate postoperative complications. Long-term cirrhosis-related complications or mortality was not increased in this small cohort. Preoperative identification of liver cirrhosis may be useful for risk stratification, optimisation and informed consent. Bariatric surgery in well-compensated cirrhotic patients may be used as an aid to improve long-term outcome.

Abstract
Background Obesity surgery mortality risk scoring system (OS-MRS) classifies patients into high, intermediate and low risk, based on age, body mass index, sex and other comorbidities such as hypertension and history of pulmonary embolism. High-risk patients not only have a higher mortality but are more likely to develop post-operative complications necessitating intervention or prolonged hospital stay following bariatric surgery. Endoscopically placed duodenal-jejunal bypass sleeve (Endobarrier) has been designed to achieve weight loss and improve glycaemic control in morbidly obese patients with clinically proven effectiveness. The aim of this study was to assess if pre-operative insertion of endobarrier in high-risk patients can decrease morbidity and length of stay after bariatric surgery. Materials and Methods Between 2012 and 2014, a cohort of 11 high-risk patients had an Endobarrier inserted (E&BS group) for 1 year prior to definitive bariatric surgery. These patients were compared against a similar group undergoing primary bariatric surgery (PBS group) during same duration. The two groups were matched for age, gender, body mass index, comorbidities, surgical procedure and OS-MRS using propensity score matching. Outcome measures included operative time, morbidity, length of stay, intensive therapy unit (ITU) stay, readmission rate, percentage excess weight loss (%EWL) and percentage total weight loss (%TWL). Results Patient characteristics and OS-MRS were similar in both groups (match tolerance 0.1). There was no significant difference in total length of stay, readmission rate, %EWL and %TWL. Operative time, ITU stay, post-operative complications and severity of complications were significantly less in the E&BS group (p < 0.05) with significant likelihood of planned ITU admissions in the PBS group (p < 0.05). Conclusion Endobarrier could be considered as a pre bariatric surgical intervention in high-risk patients. It may result in improved post-operative outcomes in high-risk bariatric patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although bariatric surgery (BS) is considered safe, concern remains regarding severe post-operative adverse events and mortality. Using a national BS registry, the aim of this study was to assess the incidence, etiologies, and risk factors for mortality following BS. METHODS Prospective data from the National Registry of Bariatric Surgery in Israel (NRBS) including age, gender, BMI, comorbidities, and surgical procedure information were collected for all patients who underwent BS in Israel between June 2013 and June 2016. The primary study outcome was the 3.5-year post-BS mortality rate, obtained by cross-referencing with the Israel population registry. RESULTS Of the 28,755 patients analyzed (67.3% females, mean age 42.0 ± 12.5 years, and preoperative BMI 42.14 ± 5.21 kg/m2), 76% underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG), 99.1% of the surgeries were performed laparoscopically, and 50.8% of the surgeries were performed in private medical centers. Overall, 95 deaths occurred during the study period (146.9/100,000 person years). The 30-day rate of post-operative mortality was 0.04% (n = 12). Male gender (HR = 1.94, 95%CI 1.16-3.25), age (HR = 1.06, 95%CI 1.04-1.09), BMI (HR = 1.08, 95%CI 1.05-1.11), and depression (HR = 2.38, 95%CI 1.25-4.52) were independently associated with an increased risk of all-cause 3.5-year mortality, while married status (HR = 0.43, 95%CI 0.26-0.71) was associated with a decreased risk. CONCLUSION Mortality after BS is low. Nevertheless, a variety of risk factors including male gender, advanced age, unmarried status, higher BMI, and preoperative depressive disorder were associated with higher mortality rates. Special attention should be given to these "at-risk" BS patients.

Abstract
This study systemically reviewed evidence linking adiposity to readmission and all-cause mortality in post-coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients. Keyword/reference search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library for articles published before June, 2018. Eligibility criteria included study designs: experimental/observational studies; subjects: adult patients undergoing CABG; and outcomes: hospital/clinic readmissions, and short-term (≤30 days) and mid-to-long-term (>30 days) all-cause mortality. Seventy-two studies were identified. Meta-analysis showed that the odds of post-CABG readmission among patients with overweight was 30% lower than their normal-weight counterparts and the odds of mid-to-long-term post-CABG mortality among patients with overweight were 20% lower than their normal-weight counterparts. In contrast, no difference in post-CABG readmission rate was found between patients with obesity and their nonobese counterparts; no difference in short-term or in-hospital post-CABG mortality rate was found between patients with overweight or obesity and their normal-weight counterparts; and no difference in mid-to-long-term post-CABG mortality rate was found between patients with obesity and their normal-weight counterparts. In conclusion, patients with overweight but not obesity had a lower readmission and mid-to-long-term mortality rate following CABG relative to their normal-weight counterparts. Preoperative weight loss may not be advised to patients with overweight undergoing CABG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the changes in the body composition of morbidly obese patients induced by a very low-calorie diet. METHODS We evaluated 120 patients selected from a university hospital. Body composition was assessed before and after the diet provided during hospitalization, and changes in weight, body mass index, and neck, waist and hip circumferences were analyzed. Bioimpedance was used to obtain body fat and fat-free mass values. The data were categorized by gender, age, body mass index and diabetes diagnosis. RESULTS The patients consumed the diet for 8 days. They presented a 5% weight loss (without significant difference among groups), which represented an 85% reduction in body fat. All changes in body circumference were statistically significant. There was greater weight loss and a greater reduction of body fat in men, but the elderly showed a significantly higher percentage of weight loss and greater reductions in body fat and fat-free mass. Greater reductions in body fat and fat-free mass were also observed in superobese patients. The changes in the diabetic participants did not differ significantly from those of the non-diabetic participants. CONCLUSIONS The use of a VLCD before bariatric surgery led to a loss of weight at the expense of body fat over a short period, with no significant differences in the alteration of body composition according to gender, age, body mass index and diabetes status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intragastric balloons represent an endoscopic therapy aimed at achieving weight loss by mechanical induction of satiety. Their exact role within the bariatric armamentarium remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE Our study aimed to evaluate the use of intragastric balloon therapy alone and before definitive bariatric surgery over a 16-year period. SETTING A large city academic bariatric center for super-obese patients. METHODS Between January 2000 and February 2016, 207 patients underwent ORBERA intragastric balloon placement at esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Four surgeons performed the procedures, and data were entered prospectively into a dedicated bariatric database. Patients' weight loss data were measured through body mass index (BMI) and excess weight loss and recorded at each clinic review for up to 5 years (60 mo). Treatment arms included intragastric balloon alone with lifestyle therapy or intragastric balloon and definitive bariatric surgery: gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy, or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. An additional treatment arm of analysis included the overall results from intragastric balloon followed by stapled procedure. RESULTS One hundred twenty-nine female and 78 male patients had a mean age of 44.5 (±11.3) years and a mean BMI of 57.3 (±9.7) kg/m2. Fifty-eight percent of patients suffered from type 2 diabetes. Time from initial or first balloon insertion to definitive surgical therapy ranged between 9 and 13 months. Seventy-six patients had intragastric balloon alone, and 131 had intragastric balloon followed by definitive procedure. At 60 months postoperatively the intragastric balloon alone with lifestyle changes demonstrated an excess weight loss of 9.04% and BMI drop of 3.8; intragastric balloon with gastric banding demonstrated an excess weight loss of 32.9% and BMI drop of 8.9. Intragastric balloon and definitive stapled procedure demonstrated a BMI drop of 17.6 and an excess weight loss of 52.8%. Overall, there were 3 deaths (1.4%), 2 within 10 days due to acute gastric perforation secondary to vomiting and 1 cardiac arrest at 4 weeks postoperatively. CONCLUSION Intragastric balloons can offer effective weight loss in selected super-obese patients within a dedicated bariatric center offering multidisciplinary support. Balloon insertion alone offers only short-term weight loss; however, when combined with definitive bariatric surgical approaches, durable weight loss outcomes can be achieved. A strategy of early and continual vigilance for side effects and a low threshold for removal should be implemented. Surgeon and unit experience with intragastric balloons can contribute to "kick starting" successful weight loss as a bridge to definitive therapy in an established bariatric surgical pathway.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: to assess the short-term efficacy, tolerance and complications in high-risk morbidly obese patients treated with an intragastric balloon as a bridge for surgery. Methods: we conducted a post-hoc analysis study in a Brazilian teaching hospital from 2010 to 2014, with 23 adult patients with a BMI of 48kg/m2, who received a single intragastric air or liquid balloon. We defined efficacy as 10% excess weight loss, and complications, as adverse events consequent to the intragastric balloon diagnosed after the initial accommodative period. We expressed the anthropometric results as means ± standard deviation, comparing the groups with paired T / Student’s T tests, when appropriate, with p<0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: the balloons were effective in 91.3% of the patients, remained in situ for an average of 5.5 months and most of them (65.2%) were air-filled, with a mean excess weight loss of 23.7kg±9.7 (excess weight loss 21.7%±8.9) and mean BMI reduction of 8.3kg/m2±3.3. Complications (17.3%) included abdominal discomfort, balloon deflation and late intolerance, without severe cases. Most of the participants (82.7%) did not experience adverse effects. We removed the intragastric balloons in time, without intercurrences, and 52.2% of these patients underwent bariatric surgery within one month. Conclusion: in our center, intragastric balloons can be successfully used as an initial weight loss procedure, with good tolerance and acceptable complications rates.

Abstract
The efficacy of mandatory medically supervised preoperative weight loss (MPWL) prior to bariatric surgery continues to be a controversial topic. The purpose of this observational study was to assess the efficacy of a MPWL program in a single institution, which mandated at least 10% excess body weight loss before surgery, by comparing outcomes of patients undergoing primary bariatric surgery with and without a compulsory preoperative weight loss regimen. We analyzed our database of 757 patients who underwent primary bariatric surgery between March 2008 and January 2015. Patients were placed into two cohorts based on their participation in a MPWL program requiring at least 10% excess weight loss (EWL) prior to surgery. Patients were evaluated at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery for weight loss, comorbidity resolution, and the occurrences of hospital readmissions. A total of 717 patients met the inclusion criteria of whom 465 underwent surgery without a preoperative weight loss requirement and 252 participated in the MPWL program. One year after surgery, 67.1% of non-participants and 62.5% of MPWL participants showed a resolution of at least one of five associated comorbidities (p = 0.45). Non-participants showed an average of 58.6% EWL, while MPWL participants showed 59.1% EWL at 1 year postoperatively (p = 0.84). Readmission rates, excluding those which were ulcer-related, at 30 days (3.4 vs. 6.40%, p = 0.11) and 90 days (9.9 vs. 7.5%, p = 0.29) postoperatively were not significantly different between the non-participants and MPWL patients, respectively. A mandatory preoperative weight loss program prior to bariatric surgery did not result in significantly greater %EWL or comorbidity resolution 1 year after surgery compared to patients not required to lose weight preoperatively. Additionally, the program did not result in significantly lower 30- or 90-day readmission rates for these patients. The value of a MPWL program must be weighed against the potential loss of bariatric surgery candidates. Patients who fail to lose 10% excess weight preoperatively are thus ineligible for a procedure from which they would otherwise benefit. Our data suggest these patients will have similar positive outcomes.
