Abstract

Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 analogues such as liraglutide 3.0 mg (Saxenda) have yielded significant weight loss in clinical trials when combined with lifestyle interventions. Despite the recent approval of liraglutide 3.0 mg, its success among patients attending specialist bariatric units remains uncertain. Objective: This study investigated the effectiveness of liraglutide 3.0 mg on weight, body mass index (BMI), treatment tolerability and its effects on glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c). Methods: Clinical data were retrospectively obtained from medical records within Tier 3-4 bariatric weight management clinics. Wilcoxon signed rank tests were employed to establish the statistical significance (p<0.05) of changes in weight and HbA1c. Results: 33 patients were identified (72.7% female with mean baseline age, weight and BMI of 44.8 years, 156.6 kg and 55.0 kg/m2, respectively). Eighteen patients had completed 26 weeks of treatment. Of the 18 patients, the discontinuation rate due to side effects was 15.2%, indicating substantial treatment tolerance. After 26 weeks of treatment, BMI (±standard deviation) was significantly reduced by 7.9±6.3% (p<0.05) and 72.2% of patients achieved at least 5% weight loss. Additionally, a significant decrease in median HbA1c (4.5±4.5 mmol/mol) was observed (p<0.05), concurrent with increased remission from prediabetes. Conclusion: This retrospective study revealed that liraglutide 3.0 mg, together with lifestyle management, reduced weight and improved glycaemic control. These results support liraglutide’s application in certain high-risk populations, including patients waiting for bariatric surgical intervention.
利拉鲁肽3.0(Saxenda)在减肥患者中的疗效回顾性现实世界临床评估
背景:胰高血糖素样肽-1类似物,如3.0 mg利拉鲁肽(Saxenda),在临床试验中与生活方式干预相结合,可显著减轻体重。尽管最近批准了3.0 mg利拉鲁肽,但其在专科减肥病房的患者中的成功率仍不确定。目的:本研究探讨利拉鲁肽3.0mg对体重、体重指数(BMI)、治疗耐受性及其对糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)的影响。采用Wilcoxon符号秩检验来确定体重和HbA1c变化的统计学意义(p<0.05)。结果:确定了33名患者(72.7%的女性,平均基线年龄、体重和BMI分别为44.8岁、156.6 kg和55.0 kg/m2)。18名患者完成了26周的治疗。在18名患者中,因副作用导致的停药率为15.2%,表明治疗耐受性良好。治疗26周后,BMI(±标准差)显著降低7.9±6.3%(p<0.05),72.2%的患者体重至少减轻了5%。此外,观察到中位HbA1c显著降低(4.5±4.5 mmol/mol)(p<0.05),同时糖尿病前期病情缓解率增加。结论:这项回顾性研究表明,利拉鲁肽3.0 mg,加上生活方式管理,可以减轻体重,改善血糖控制。这些结果支持利拉鲁肽在某些高危人群中的应用,包括等待减肥手术干预的患者。
