RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Weight regain after metabolic bariatric surgery is a common problem. Food addiction is an eating disorder that can be one of the reasons for weight regain in these patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of probiotic supplementation with a weight loss program and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on anthropometric measures, eating behavior, food addiction, and related hormone levels, in patients with food addiction and weight regain after metabolic bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted on patients with food addiction and weight regain after metabolic bariatric surgery. Participants (n = 50) received a weight loss program and CBT plus probiotic, or placebo for 12 weeks. Then, anthropometric measurements, biochemical markers, eating behavior, and food addiction were assessed. RESULTS: Weight and body mass index (BMI) decreased significantly in the probiotic group compared to placebo (p = 0.008, p = 0.001, respectively). Fat mass was significantly decreased in the probiotic group (p < 0.001). Moreover, a significant improvement was observed in the probiotic group's eating behavior and food addiction compared to the placebo group (p < 0.001). Serum levels of leptin decreased significantly (p = 0.02), and oxytocin serum levels increased significantly (p = 0.008) in the probiotic group compared to the placebo group. CONCLUSION: Adding probiotic supplements to the weight loss program and CBT is superior to the weight loss program and CBT alone in improving weight loss, eating behavior, and food addiction in patients with food addiction and weight regain after metabolic bariatric surgery.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Uncomplicated surgical approaches that minimize anastomotic complications while improving revisional metabolic/bariatric surgical (MBS) outcomes are needed. METHODS: This prospective single-center study assessed the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of the novel linear magnetic anastomosis system (LMAS [3 cm]) in performing a side-to-side duodeno-ileostomy (MagDI) bipartition to revise clinically suboptimal primary sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Patients with severe obesity with/without type 2 diabetes (T2D) with suboptimal weight loss, regain, and/or T2D recurrence post SG underwent revisional MagDI. A distal and proximal magnet were delivered endoscopically to the ileum and duodenum and aligned via laparoscopic assistance. Gradual magnet fusion formed a DI bipartition. PRIMARY ENDPOINTS: technical feasibility, safety (Clavien-Dindo [CD] severe adverse event classification) at 1 year. Secondary endpoints: MBS weight and T2D reduction. RESULTS: July 29, 2022-March 28, 2023, 24 patients (95.8% female, mean age 44.9 ± 1.5 years, and body mass index [BMI] 39.4 ± 1.3 kg/m2) underwent MagDI. Feasibility was attained via correct magnet placement (mean operative time 63.5 ± 3.3 min), patent anastomoses created, and magnet passage per anus in 100.0% of patients. There were 4 CD-III mild or moderate severe AEs, 0.0% associated with the LMAS or MagDI: 0.0% anastomotic leakage, obstruction, bleeding, infection, reintervention, or death. Mean BMI reduction was 2.1 kg/m2 (p < 0.05); total weight loss 5.3%, excess weight loss 16.4%; and the patient with T2D improved. CONCLUSION: The single-anastomosis MagDI procedure using the novel 3-cm LMAS to revise clinically suboptimal SG was technically straightforward, incurred no major complications, mitigated weight regain, and renewed clinically meaningful weight loss. GOV IDENTIFIER: NCT05322122.
RESUMEN
CONTEXT: There are limited comparative studies between one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) versus Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) on body composition and musculoskeletal health. OBJECTIVE: To compare changes in body composition, areal bone mineral density (aBMD), muscle strength, and physical function in the first year following OAGB, RYGB and SG within a UK-based healthcare setting. METHODS: This is a secondary analysis of the BARI-LIFESTYLE trial in 119 adults (77% women; mean±SD, age: 45.9±10.3 years; BMI: 43.6±5.5 kg/m2) who underwent OAGB (n=19), RYGB (n=39) and SG (n=61). Body composition and aBMD by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, handgrip strength, sit-to-stand (STS) test and 6-minute walking test (6MWT) were assessed pre-surgery and at 12 months post-surgery. RESULTS: OAGB, RYGB, and SG exhibited similar reductions in body weight, body fat and lean mass (within-group comparisons, p<0.001). All surgery types were associated with reductions in aBMD at the total hip, femoral neck, and lumbar spine, which were more pronounced after OAGB and RYGB compared to SG (all p<0.03), though no difference between OAGB and RYGB. Despite reductions in absolute handgrip strength, relative handgrip strength, STS test and 6MWT improved post-surgery (all p<0.02), with no differences by surgical procedure. CONCLUSION: OAGB, RYGB, and SG resulted in comparable weight loss, changes in body composition and improvements in relative muscle strength and physical function. OAGB and RYGB, compared with SG, led to greater BMD reductions at clinically relevant sites. Future long-term studies should explore whether these BMD reductions translate into a greater fracture risk.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The utility of preoperative abdominal ultrasonography (US) in evaluating patients with obesity before metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) remains ambiguously defined. METHOD: Retrospective analysis whereby patients were classified into four groups based on ultrasound results. Group 1 had normal findings. Group 2 had non-significant findings that did not affect the planned procedure. Group 3 required additional or follow-up surgeries without changing the surgical plan. Group 4, impacting the procedure, needed further investigations and was subdivided into 4A, delaying surgery for more assessments, and 4B, altering or canceling the procedure due to critical findings. Machine learning techniques were utilized to identify variables. RESULTS: Four thousand four hundred eighteen patients' records were analyzed. Group 1 was 45.7%. Group 2, 35.7%; Group 3, 17.0%; Group 4, 1.5%, Group 4A, 0.8%; and Group 4B, 0.7%, where surgeries were either canceled (0.3%) or postponed (0.4%). The hyperparameter tuning process identified a Decision Tree classifier with a maximum tree depth of 7 as the most effective model. The model demonstrated high effectiveness in identifying patients who would benefit from preoperative ultrasound before MBS, with training and testing accuracies of 0.983 and 0.985. It also showed high precision (0.954), recall (0.962), F1 score (0.958), and an AUC of 0.976. CONCLUSION: Our study found that preoperative ultrasound demonstrated clinical utility for a subset of patients undergoing metabolic bariatric surgery. Specifically, 15.9% of the cohort benefited from the identification of chronic calculous cholecystitis, leading to concomitant cholecystectomy. Additionally, surgery was postponed in 1.4% of the cases due to other findings. While these findings indicate a potential benefit in certain cases, further research, including a cost-benefit analysis, is necessary to fully evaluate routine preoperative ultrasound's overall utility and economic impact in this patient population.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Pregnant women with a history of metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) are at high risk of developing nutrient deficiencies, leading to greater challenges to reach nutritional requirements. This study compared nutrient status of women using specialized "weight loss surgery" multivitamin supplementation (WLS-MVS) to those using standard supplementation (sMVS) during pregnancy following MBS. METHODS: Multicenter observational cohort study including 119 pregnant women at 41.0 (18.5-70.0) months after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB, n = 80) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG, n = 39). Routine blood samples were analyzed every trimester (T1, T2, T3), and micronutrient serum levels were compared between WLS-MVS and sMVS users. RESULTS: During pregnancy after RYGB, WLS-MVS users demonstrated higher serum concentrations of hemoglobin (7.4 [7.2, 7.5] vs. 7.0 [6.8, 7.3] mmol/L), ferritin (23.2 [15.0, 35.7] vs. 13.7 [8.4, 22.4] µg/L), and folic acid (31.4 [28.7, 34.2] vs. 25.4 [21.3, 29.4] nmol/L) and lower serum vitamin B6 levels (T1: 90.6 [82.0, 99.8] vs. 132.1 [114.6, 152.4] nmol/L) compared to sMVS users. Iron deficiencies and elevated serum vitamin B6 levels were less prevalent in the WLS-MVS group. During pregnancy after SG, WLS-MVS users showed higher serum vitamin D concentrations (89.7 [77.6, 101.8] vs. 65.4 [53.3, 77.4] nmol/L) and lower serum vitamin B1 concentrations (T2: 137.4 [124.2, 150.6] vs. 161.6 [149.0, 174.1] nmol/L, T3: 133.9 [120.1, 147.7] vs. 154.7 [141.9, 167.5] nmol/L) compared to sMVS users. CONCLUSION: Low maternal concentrations of micronutrients are highly prevalent during pregnancy after MBS. The use of specialized multivitamin supplementation generally resulted in higher serum levels during pregnancy compared to standard supplementation. Future research is needed to investigate how supplementation strategies can be optimized for this high-risk population.
RESUMEN
Metabolic bariatric surgery remains the most effective and durable treatment for severe obesity. Women of reproductive age represent the largest demographic group undergoing these procedures. Metabolic bariatric surgery can have both beneficial and adverse effects on pregnancy outcomes. One of the most common adverse effects is fetal growth restriction. To mitigate these adverse effects, it is crucial to explore lifestyle modifications aimed at promoting a healthy pregnancy. Modifiable factors during pregnancy after metabolic bariatric surgery include the amount of gestational weight gain. The aim of this comprehensive review is to provide an overview of what is known about gestational weight gain in pregnancy after bariatric metabolic surgery. This review is focused on the two most performed procedures: sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

The surge in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is tightly linked to obesity, leading to ectopic fat accumulation in internal organs. Weight management has become a cornerstone of T2DM treatment, with evidence suggesting that significant weight loss can induce remission. Remission, defined as sustained hemoglobin (HbA1c) below 6.5% for at least 3 months without medication, can be achieved through various approaches, including lifestyle, medical, and surgical interventions. Metabolic bariatric surgery offers significant remission rates, particularly for patients with severe obesity. Intensive lifestyle modifications, including low-calorie diets and exercise, have also demonstrated significant potential. Medications like incretin-based agents show robust results in improving beta-cell function, achieving glycemic control, and promoting weight loss. While complete remission without medication may not be attainable for everyone, especially those with severe insulin resistance or deficiency, early and aggressive glycemic control remains a crucial strategy. Maintaining HbA1c below 6.5% from the time of diagnosis reduces the risk of long-term complications and mortality. Moreover, considering a broader definition of remission, encompassing individuals with sustained control on medication, could offer a more comprehensive and inclusive approach to managing this chronic disease.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Potential brain structural differences in people with obesity (PwO) who achieve over or less than 50% excess weight loss (EWL) after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are currently unknown. We compared measures of gray matter volume (GMV) and white matter (WM) microstructural integrity of PwO who achieved over or less than 50% EWL after SG with a group of controls with obesity (CwO) without a past history of metabolic bariatric surgery. METHODS: Sixty-two PwO underwent 1.5 T MRI scanning: 24 who achieved more than 50% of EWL after SG ("group a"), 18 who achieved less than 50% EWL after SG ("group b"), and 20 CwO ("group c"). Voxel-based morphometry and tract-based spatial Statistics analyses were performed to investigate GMV and WM differences among groups. Multiple regression analyses were performed to investigate relationships between structural and psychological measures. RESULTS: Group a demonstrated significantly lower GMV loss and higher WM microstructural integrity with respect to group b and c in some cortical regions and several WM tracts. Positive correlations were observed in group a between WM integrity and several psychological measures; the lower the WM integrity, the higher the mental distress, emotional dysregulation, and binge eating behavior. CONCLUSION: The present results gain a new understanding of the neural mechanisms of outcome in patients who undergo SG. We found limited GMV changes and extensive WM microstructural differences between PwO who achieved over or less than 50% EWL after SG, which may be due to higher vulnerability of WM to the metabolic dysfunction present in PwO.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Patient preferences toward metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) remain inadequately explored. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to identify and analyze the key factors influencing the decision-making process of patients considering MBS. SETTING: The research was conducted at the metabolic bariatric surgery clinic of the Medical Research Institute Hospital, Alexandria University, Egypt. METHOD: Patients with obesity were recruited at the clinic before MBS. The surgical profiles were characterized by attributes including treatment method, recovery and reversibility, treatment tenure, expected weight loss, impact on associated medical problems, risk of complication, side effects, dietary changes, and out-of-pocket costs. Patients engaged in an online survey comprising sociodemographic data, Build Your Own (BYO) section, screening section, and choice tournament section. Adaptive choice-based conjoint analysis was employed to discern the preferences. RESULTS: Of the 299 respondents, the surgical profiles with the highest preference involved a loss of 80% of excess weight without any recurrence (14.67 [95% CI, 14.10-15.23]), 0% risk of complication (13.74 [95% CI, 13.03-14.45]), and absence of adverse effects (11.32 [95% CI, 10.73-11.91]). K-mean cluster analysis identified 2 distinct groups: "patients prioritize weight loss" group prioritized excess weight loss, surgery availability, and diet change, whereas "patients prioritize avoidance of complications" group focused on the risk of complication, adverse effects, and the surgery mechanism. CONCLUSIONS: MBS candidates predominantly value weight loss without recurrence, followed by minimization of complication risks and adverse effects, within 3 years postsurgery. Conversely, initial out-of-pocket costs and resolution of medical conditions were deemed the least influential attributes.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of aprepitant in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) following metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). METHODS: Clinical trials meeting the inclusion criteria were identified through searches of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases, as well as clinical trials registered at clinicaltrials. gov. These trials compared aprepitant with the control or placebo groups among patients who underwent MBS. Meta-analysis was performed using StataSE 17.0 software to calculate the pooled risk ratio (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) to assess the effectiveness of aprepitant in preventing PONV following MBS. RESULTS: A total of five articles comprising six studies including 929 patients undergoing MBS were included. Meta-analysis revealed a significant reduction in the incidence of PONV among patients receiving aprepitant (pooled RR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.38-0.68, P < 0.05). Subgroup analysis indicated that aprepitant effectively reduced PONV incidence at 0, 6, and 12 h postoperatively in patients with MBS, but did not decrease PONV occurrence at 24 and 48 h postoperatively. CONCLUSION: Aprepitant demonstrated significant clinical efficacy in preventing PONV following MBS, effectively reducing patient discomfort, and improving postoperative recovery. Therefore, aprepitant should be considered a preventive measure in patients undergoing MBS to enhance patient satisfaction and recovery rates. Additionally, to maintain an effective drug concentration, aprepitant should be administered within the first 24 h postoperatively. PROSPERO REGISTRATION: CRD 42024528154.

PURPOSE: Duration and severity of exposure to excess adipose tissue are important risk factors for complications, but are generally not examined in conjunction. We developed a metric considering both factors to examine the relationship between obesity-related complications and parameters of cardiometabolic health in patients undergoing a metabolic bariatric procedure (MBS). MATERIALS & METHODS: Data from patients screened for primary MBS between 2017 and 2021 were analyzed. The Obesity Exposure score (OBES), based on self-reported years of life with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2, was calculated with increased weighting applied for higher BMI categories. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed, adjusting for multiple potential confounders. RESULTS: In total, 2441 patients were included (76% female, age 42.1 ± 11.9 years, BMI 42.0 ± 4.9 kg/m2). OBES was positively related to myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation and renal function loss (per 10 OBES-units: OR 1.31, 95%CI [1.11-1.52], p = 0.002; OR 1.23, 95% CI [1.06-1.44], p = 0.008; and OR 1.26, 95% CI [1.04-1.51], p = 0.02). OBES was negatively associated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) (OR 0.90, 95% CI [0.83-0.98], p = 0.02). In patients without obesity-related complications, OBES was related to lower HbA1c and higher HDL-cholesterol levels (ß -0.5 95% CI [-0.08-.0.02] p < 0.001 and ß 0.02 [0.00-0.04] p = 0.01). CONCLUSION: OBES was related to myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation and renal function loss in patients applying for MBS. OBES was negatively related to OSAS, possibly because undiagnosed years were not taken into account. In the absence of obesity-related complications, OBES was not related to metabolic blood markers. Our data may aid in improving perioperative risk assessments.

BACKGROUND: Means of addressing technical challenges in forming gastrojejunostomy (GJ) anastomoses and maintaining their patency are sought. OBJECTIVES: Evaluation of preclinical feasibility and healing efficacy of a novel linear magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) device to form a patent GJ versus sutured jejunal enterotomy (JE) sites in swine. SETTING: Single-center veterinary testing facility. METHODS: Feasibility of 3 prototype sizes (4, 6, and 8 cm) of a metal MCA device (MCAD) to form a patent GJ was evaluated over 6 weeks. A distal magnet was laparoscopically inserted in the jejunum, a proximal magnet was placed gastroscopically in the stomach; magnets were aligned to gradually form an anastomosis, self-detached, and be expelled. At necropsy, MCAs were assessed for patency and compared with JE tissues to evaluate wound healing. RESULTS: MCADs aligned at the GJ location without complications. In 5/6 MCAD pairs, dislodgement occurred between 7 and 26 days; expulsion 13-31 days; 1 MCAD pair was retained in the stomach. At necropsy, all pigs were healthy, gaining a mean 15.0 kg. Anastomoses were not adequately patent in 2/4 pigs receiving the 4-cm or 6-cm MCADs because their linear length was too small. But, anastomoses of both pigs receiving the 8-cm MCADs maintained full patency. Minimal inflammation and fibrosis were seen in MCA specimens versus sutured enterotomies. CONCLUSIONS: A novel linear MCA device was feasible and effectively created a patent GJ anastomosis in swine with minimal inflammation and fibrosis. The MCAD may be appropriate for clinical evaluation.
RESUMEN
AIMS: To offer a holistic view of the personal, external, and psychological factors influencing adherence to nutrition and diet in patients undergoing metabolic/bariatric surgery. METHODS: This systematic synthesis of mixed methods research involved a comprehensive search for articles in English databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, EBSCO, Scopus, and Embase, as well as Chinese databases. The search encompassed articles published from the inception of the database up to June 2023. Following the evaluation of literature quality and extraction of relevant information from the selected studies, data from both quantitative and qualitative studies were integrated. The extracted data were analyzed separately, and themes were identified and summarized to elucidate the factors influencing adherence to nutritional and dietary guidelines. The methodology adhered to the guidelines recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) for mixed methods systematic evaluations. RESULTS: Three themes and their corresponding descriptive elements were identified, including: (1) Personal factors: subjective factors (attitude, capability, awareness, behaviors), objective factors (age, sex, work status, economic level, physical activity, dietary habits, weight change); (2) External factors: medication (quantity of pills, complexity of intake times, side effects, unpleasant smell or taste), surgery factor, social influences (family members, dietitians, and peers); (3) Psychological factors: self-efficacy, attachment anxiety, and mental health problems. CONCLUSIONS: The synthesis provided a comprehensive overview of the factors influencing postoperative compliance of nutrition and diet among patients undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery. It emphasizes the necessity for clinical staff to tailor interventions based on these diverse factors, as well as to attach importance to patients' mental health, giving multidimensional dietary guidance and health care.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review explores characterizing candidates for obesity treatments including pharmacotherapy, endoscopic bariatric therapies, and metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS), focusing on established clinical parameters for diagnosing obesity beyond body mass index alone. RECENT FINDINGS: Existing literature primarily provides rates for fat mass percentage (i.e., a marker for adiposity quantity), waist circumference (i.e., a marker for adiposity distribution), and C-reactive protein levels (i.e., a marker for adiposity functionality) among obesity treatment candidates. Limited data on abnormal values and sex-based differentiation exist. The literature indicates high central-tendency measures for fat mass percentage and waist circumference, while C-reactive protein levels vary. Data on the Edmonton Obesity Staging System (i.e., a marker for adiposity-related disease severity) is predominantly available for MBS candidates. Future studies in obesity interventions should improve screening and diagnosis of obesity by incorporating sex-specific considerations and providing abnormal value rates for measurements to enhance understanding of patients' characteristics.

PURPOSE: Loop duodenojejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (LDJBSG) is effective for weight loss and resolution of obesity-related associated medical problems. However, a description of the reoperative surgery following LDJBSG is lacking. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, we analyzed the surgical complications and reoperation (conversion or revision) following LDJBSG from 2011 to 2019 in a single institution. RESULTS: A total of 337 patients underwent LDJBSG during this period. Reoperative surgery (RS) was required in 10LDJBSG patients (3%). The mean age and BMI before RS were 47 ± 9 years and 28.9 ± 3.6 kg/m2, respectively. The mean interval between primary surgery and RS for early (n = 5) and late (n = 5)complications was 8 ± 11 days and 32 ± 15.8 months, respectively. The conversion procedures were Roux-en-Y gastric bypass(n = 5), followed by Roux-en-Y duodenojejunal bypass (n = 2) and one-anastomosis gastric bypass (n = 1); other revision procedures were seromyotomy (n = 1) and re-laparoscopy (n = 1). Perioperative complications were observed in four patients after conversion surgery such as multiorgan failure (n = 1), re-laparoscopy (n = 1), marginal ulcer (n = 1), GERD (n = 1), and dumping syndrome (n = 1). CONCLUSION: LDJBSG has low reoperative rates and conversion RYGB could effectively treat the early and late complications of LDJBSG. Because of its technical demands and risk of perioperative complications, conversion surgery should be reserved for a selected group of patients and performed by an experienced metabolic bariatric surgical team.

BACKGROUND: Single-anastomosis metabolic/bariatric surgery procedures may lessen the incidence of anastomotic complications. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of performing side-to-side duodenoileal (DI) bipartition using magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA). In addition, preliminary efficacy, quality of life (QoL), and distribution of food through the DI bipartition were evaluated. METHODS: Patients with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥35.0 to 50.0 kg/m2 underwent side-to-side DI bipartition with the magnet anastomosis system (MS) with sleeve gastrectomy (SG). By endoscopic positioning, a distal magnet (250 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve) and a proximal magnet (first part of the duodenum) were aligned with laparoscopic assistance to inaugurate MCA. An isotopic study assessed transit through the bipartition. RESULTS: Between March 14, 2022 to June 1, 2022, 10 patients (BMI of 44.2 ± 1.3 kg/m2) underwent side-to-side MS DI. In 9 of 10 patients, an SG was performed concurrently. The median operative time was 161.0 minutes (IQR, 108.0-236.0), and the median hospital stay was 3 days (IQR, 2-40). Paired magnets were expelled at a median of 43 days (IQR, 21-87). There was no device-related serious advanced event within 1 year. All anastomoses were patent with satisfactory diameters after magnet expulsion and at 1 year. Respective BMI, BMI reduction, and total weight loss were 28.9 ± 1.8 kg/m2, 15.2 ± 1.8 kg/m2, and 34.2% ± 4.1%, respectively. Of note, 70.0% of patients reported that they were very satisfied. The isotopic study found a median of 19.0% of the meal transited through the ileal loop. CONCLUSION: Side-to-side MCA DI bipartition with SG in adults with class II to III obesity was feasible, safe, and efficient with good QoL at 1-year follow-up. Moreover, 19% of ingested food passed directly into the ileum.

Objectives: Metabolic bariatric surgery is a critical intervention for patients living with obesity and related health issues. Accurate classification and prediction of patient outcomes are vital for optimizing treatment strategies. This study presents a novel machine learning approach to classify patients in the context of metabolic bariatric surgery, providing insights into the efficacy of different models and variable types. Methods: Various machine learning models, including Gaussian Naive Bayes, Complement Naive Bayes, K-nearest neighbour, Decision Tree, K-nearest neighbour with RandomOverSampler, and K-nearest neighbour with SMOTE, were applied to a dataset of 73 patients. The dataset, comprising psychometric, socioeconomic, and analytical variables, was analyzed to determine the most efficient predictive model. The study also explored the impact of different variable groupings and oversampling techniques. Results: Experimental results indicate average accuracy values as high as 66.7% for the best model. Enhanced versions of K-nearest neighbour and Decision Tree, along with variations of K-nearest neighbour such as RandomOverSampler and SMOTE, yielded the best results. Conclusions: The study unveils a promising avenue for classifying patients in the realm of metabolic bariatric surgery. The results underscore the importance of selecting appropriate variables and employing diverse approaches to achieve optimal performance. The developed system holds potential as a tool to assist healthcare professionals in decision-making, thereby enhancing metabolic bariatric surgery outcomes. These findings lay the groundwork for future collaboration between hospitals and healthcare entities to improve patient care through the utilization of machine learning algorithms. Moreover, the findings suggest room for improvement, potentially achievable with a larger dataset and careful parameter tuning.
RESUMEN
CD40 and its ligand have been recently implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This meta-analysis examined the effect of bariatric surgery in reducing circulating CD40L levels. A systematic review was performed using Embase, Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The meta-analysis was provided by Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) V4 software. The overall effect size was detected by a random-effects meta-analysis and the leave-one-out approach. Random-effects meta-analysis of 7 studies including 191 subjects showed a significant reduction in CD40L after bariatric surgery (standardized mean difference (SMD), - 0.531; 95% CI, - 0.981, - 0.082; p = 0.021; I2, 87.00). Circulating levels of CD40L are decreased after bariatric surgery which may represent a mechanism for improvement of metabolic profile.

INTRODUCTION: The International Federation for Surgery for Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) Global Registry aims to provide descriptive data about the caseload and penetrance of surgery for metabolic disease and obesity in member countries. The data presented in this report represent the key findings of the eighth report of the IFSO Global Registry. METHODS: All existing Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS) registries known to IFSO were invited to contribute to the eighth report. Aggregated data was provided by each MBS registry to the team at the Australia and New Zealand Bariatric Surgery Registry (ANZBSR) and was securely stored on a Redcap™ database housed at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. Data was checked for completeness and analyzed by the IFSO Global Registry Committee. Prior to the finalization of the report, all graphs were circulated to contributors and to the global registry committee of IFSO to ensure data accuracy. RESULTS: Data was received from 24 national and 2 regional registries, providing information on 502,150 procedures. The most performed primary MBS procedure was sleeve gastrectomy, whereas the most performed revisional MBS procedure was Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Asian countries reported people with lower BMI undergoing MBS along with higher rates of diabetes. Mortality was a rare event. CONCLUSION: Registries enable meaningful comparisons between countries on the demographics, characteristics, operation types and approaches, and trends in MBS procedures. Reported outcomes can be seen as flags of potential issues or relationships that could be studied in more detail in specific research studies.

Background: Adolescent obesity has markedly increased worldwide, and metabolic bariatric surgery is an effective treatment option. A major predictor of the outcomes of this procedure is adherence to post-surgery lifestyle changes and medical recommendations. While adolescents generally have more difficulty adhering to medical advice than adults, their failure to do so could adversely affect their physical and psychological health, the cost-effectiveness of medical care, and the results of clinical trials. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to identify the characteristics associated with the adherence of adolescents and their families to medical advice after bariatric surgery. Methods: We investigated potential variables influencing adherence to medical advice in adolescents diagnosed with severe obesity enrolled in a nutritional and behavior-oriented bariatric program-a 3-month pre-surgical outpatient intervention and a 6-month post-surgical follow-up. The program monitored weight, program attendance, diet compliance, lifestyle changes, and daily activities. All participants and parents completed a standard battery of questionnaires, provided demographic information, and participated in a semi-structured interview about their lifestyle. Results: The study group consisted of 47 adolescents: 34 girls and 13 boys, aged 13-18 years. Over time, three groups emerged with different degrees of adherence-high, low, and delayed low adherence. The analyses showed that adolescents' depression, autonomy, and independence from their family had strong, significant effects on adherence across the groups. Conclusions: Using adherence typologies, practitioners may be able to identify, predict, and tailor interventions to improve adolescent adherence to post-surgery recommendations. Parents have an important role in ensuring that adolescents undergoing metabolic bariatric surgery follow medical advice after the procedure.
