Abstract
Background: This study aimed to determine the factors related to insufficient weight loss (IWL) following bariatric surgery.
Methods: The data for 3456 individuals who had bariatric surgery were obtained prospectively. A bioelectrical impedance analyzer was used to measure body composition changes and compare them between the sufficient (SWL) and IWL groups. The generalized estimated equation approach was used to assess changes in fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), FFM loss/weight loss percentage (FFML/WL%), and excess weight loss percentage (EWL%). Multivariate logistic regression models were used for IWL to establish independent baseline factors.
Results: IWL was recorded in 8% of the cases. The data analysis revealed substantial differences in the changes in FM%, FFM%, FFML/WL%, and EWL% between the SWL and IWL groups after six months of follow-up. The IWL group demonstrated a greater FFML/WL% (Ptime before & after 6 months < 0.05). An older age, a higher baseline BMI, diabetes mellitus (DM), non-smoking, and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) were the predictors of IWL.
Conclusion: the significant predictors of IWL included older age, a higher baseline BMI, DM, SG, and non-smoking.
期刊介绍:
Langenbeck''s Archives of Surgery aims to publish the best results in the field of clinical surgery and basic surgical research. The main focus is on providing the highest level of clinical research and clinically relevant basic research. The journal, published exclusively in English, will provide an international discussion forum for the controlled results of clinical surgery. The majority of published contributions will be original articles reporting on clinical data from general and visceral surgery, while endocrine surgery will also be covered. Papers on basic surgical principles from the fields of traumatology, vascular and thoracic surgery are also welcome. Evidence-based medicine is an important criterion for the acceptance of papers.
