Abstract
Background: Randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the effectiveness of metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) in addition to one or more treatment interventions for obesity (i.e., lifestyle structured interventions-LSI, medical therapy-MT, obesity management medication-OMM or endobariatric procedures-EP) are lacking. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of multiple simultaneous (before or immediately after MBS) interventions for treating obesity.
Methods: We performed a meta-analysis including all RCTs enrolling patients undergoing different MBS procedures add-on to other anti-obesity strategies (LSI, MT, OMM or ES) versus MBS alone, with a duration of at least 6 months. The primary outcome was BMI at the end-point; secondary end-points included percentage total and excess weight loss (%TWL%, and EBWL%), total weight loss (TWL), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), HbA1c, surgical and non-surgical severe adverse events (SAE), mortality, remission of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL).
Results: A total of 25 RCTs were retrieved. The addition of either OMM (i.e., liraglutide) or EP (i.e., intragastric balloon-IB, endosleeve-ES) to MBS was associated with a significantly lower BMI at the end-point (p = 0.040). The addition of liraglutide only to MBS was associated with a greater %EWL%, but not %TWL and TBWL (p = 0.008). Three trials evaluated end-point HbA1c, showing a significant reduction in favour of liraglutide as an add-on therapy to MBS (p = 0.007). There was no mortality.
Conclusions: MBS combined with non-surgical approaches appears more effective than MBS alone in reducing BMI. Further RCTs on combined therapies to MBS for severe obesity are needed to enhance the tailoring of treatment for severe obesity.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism is primarily a journal of clinical and experimental pharmacology and therapeutics covering the interrelated areas of diabetes, obesity and metabolism. The journal prioritises high-quality original research that reports on the effects of new or existing therapies, including dietary, exercise and lifestyle (non-pharmacological) interventions, in any aspect of metabolic and endocrine disease, either in humans or animal and cellular systems. ‘Metabolism’ may relate to lipids, bone and drug metabolism, or broader aspects of endocrine dysfunction. Preclinical pharmacology, pharmacokinetic studies, meta-analyses and those addressing drug safety and tolerability are also highly suitable for publication in this journal. Original research may be published as a main paper or as a research letter.
