ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The clinical benefits of bariatric surgery are well-established, but the impact of bariatric surgery on psychosocial outcomes such as health-related quality of life (HRQL) is less clear. The aim of this study is to assess the Quality of life (QOL) as a whole and in separate domains in post-bariatric surgery patients.METHODOLOGY:
A single unit cross-sectional analysis of a prospective study is done on QOL in 51 patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at tertiary hospital. QOL was assessed by WHOQOL-BREF (World Health Organisation Quality of Life questionnaire -Brief version) questionnaire and Global Quality of Life Scale in each patient. Scores were calculated on a 0-100 scale and results compared.RESULTS:
The median scores given by patients before surgery were 14, 21, 42, 40 and 12.5 for each of the parameters physical, psychological, social, environmental and overall well-being respectively. The median scores for after surgery were 86, 87, 91, 88 and 87.5 respectively. The difference was significant (p value 0.001). Global QOL after surgery, calculated year wise, showed QOL scores of 90, 100, 95 and 80 in patients with 1 year, 2 years, 3 years and 4 years of follow-up without any significant difference (p value 0.502).CONCLUSION:
Through this study, we emphasize the need for the selection of a standardised scale by international organisations to compare the different studies. By proving the significant differences in the QOL of patients who underwent LSG [laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy], we suggest to consider the Quality of Life as one of the criteria to consider a patient for bariatric surgery.Palavras-chave
