RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of preoperative immunonutrition on a nationwide scale. BACKGROUND: According to international guidelines, immunonutrition should be prescribed before major oncologic digestive surgery to decrease postoperative morbidity. Nevertheless, this practice remains controversial. METHODS: We used a prospective national health database named "Echantillon généraliste des Bénéficiaires." Patients were selected with ICD10 codes of cancer and digestive surgery procedures from 2012 to 2016. Two groups were identified: with reimbursement of immunonutrition 45 days before surgery (IN-group) or not (no-IN-group). Primary outcome was 90-day severe morbidity. Secondary outcomes were postoperative length of stay (LOS) and overall survival. Logistic regression and survival analysis adjusted with IPW method were performed. RESULTS: One thousand seven hundred seventy-one patients were included. The proportion of different cancers was as follows: 72% patients were included in the colorectal group, 14% in the hepato-pancreato-biliary group, and 12% in the upper gastrointestinal group. Patients from the IN-group (n = 606, 34%) were younger (67.1â±â11.8 vs 69.2â±â12.2 years, P < 0.001), with increased use of other oral nutritional supplements (49.5% vs 31.8%, P < 0.001) and had more digestive anastomoses (89.4% vs 83.0%, P < 0.001). There was no significant difference between the 2 groups for 90-day severe morbidity [odds ratio (OR): 0.91, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.73-1.14] or in survival (hazard ratio: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.73-1.08). LOS were shorter in the IN-group [-1.26 days, 95% CI: -2.40 to -0.10)]. CONCLUSION: The preoperative use of immunonutrition before major oncologic digestive surgery was not associated with any significant difference in morbidity or mortality. However, the LOS was significantly shorter in the IN-group.

INTRODUCTION: Heart failure (HF) is difficult to diagnose in obese patients because of cardiovascular and pulmonary comorbidities associated with physical deconditioning, all of which lead to dyspnea. METHODS: The OLECOEUR study is a prospective screening for HF using systematic brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) measurement in ambulatory patients with obesity from a department of Nutrition (Paris, France). Clinical, biological, and echocardiographic data were extracted from electronic medical records. RESULTS: We included 1,506 patients middle-aged (mean age: 47.2 ± 14.6 years old) with severe obesity (mean body mass index: 40.4 ± 6.6 kg/m2). Patients with BNP ≥35 pg/mL had left heart remodeling including thicker interventricular septum (10.4 ± 2.0 vs. 9.6 ± 1.8 mm; p = 0.0008), higher left ventricular mass (89.9 ± 24.3 vs. 77.2 ± 20.0 g/m2; p = 0.0009), and significant changes in both left and right atria consistent with a higher proportion of prior atrial fibrillation. Markers of right heart remodeling on echocardiography were also significantly higher (pulmonary artery systolic pressure: 33.3 ± 17.3 vs. 24.5 ± 6.3 mm Hg; p = 0.0002). CONCLUSION: The OLECOEUR study shows left and right subclinical cardiac remodeling in obese patients screened for HF with systematic dosing of BNP with usual cut-off of 35 pg/mL.

Importance: A healthy lifestyle is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease in adults with obesity. Little is known about the associations between a healthy lifestyle and the risk of other obesity-attributable diseases in this population. Objective: To examine the association between healthy lifestyle factors and the incidence of major obesity-related diseases in adults with obesity compared with those with normal weight. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort study evaluated UK Biobank participants aged 40 to 73 years and free of major obesity-attributable disease at baseline. Participants were enrolled from 2006 to 2010 and prospectively followed up for disease diagnosis. Exposures: A healthy lifestyle score was constructed using information on not smoking, exercising regularly, no or moderate alcohol consumption, and eating a healthy diet. For each lifestyle factor, participants scored 1 if they met the criterion for a healthy lifestyle and 0 otherwise. Main Outcomes and Measures: The risk of outcomes according to the healthy lifestyle score in adults with obesity compared with those with normal weight were examined using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models with Bonferroni correction for multiple testing. The data analysis was performed between December 1, 2021, and October 31, 2022. Results: A total of 438â¯583 adult participants in the UK Biobank were evaluated (female, 55.1%; male, 44.9%; mean [SD] age, 56.5 [8.1] years), of whom 107â¯041 (24.4%) had obesity. During a mean (SD) follow-up of 12.8 (1.7) years, 150â¯454 participants (34.3%) developed at least 1 of the studied diseases. Compared with adults with obesity and 0 healthy lifestyle factors, individuals with obesity who met all 4 healthy lifestyle factors were at lower risk of hypertension (HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.78-0.90), ischemic heart disease (HR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.65-0.80), arrhythmias (HR, 0.71; 95% 0.61-0.81), heart failure (HR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.53-0.80), arteriosclerosis (HR, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.07-0.56), kidney failure (HR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.63-0.85), gout (HR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.38-0.69), sleep disorders (HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.56-0.83), and mood disorders (HR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.56-0.78). The lifestyle profiles associated with the lowest risks included a healthy diet and at least 1 of the 2 healthy behaviors of physical activity and never smoking. Compared with adults with normal weight, those with obesity were at higher risk of several outcomes, irrespective of the lifestyle score (adjusted HRs ranged from 1.41 [95% CI, 1.27-1.56] for arrhythmias to 7.16 [95% CI, 6.36-8.05] for diabetes for adults with obesity and 4 healthy lifestyle factors). Conclusion and Relevance: In this large cohort study, adherence to a healthy lifestyle was associated with reduced risk of a wide range of obesity-related diseases, but this association was modest in adults with obesity. The findings suggest that although a healthy lifestyle seems to be beneficial, it does not entirely offset the health risks associated with obesity.

Bariatric surgery (BS) is rarely performed on patients aged 70 and over, due to the fear of adverse effects, particularly related to sarcopenia. We examined the outcome of obese patients who underwent BS after the age of 69 in the French population. Operated subjects were matched with non-operated obese patients (n = 1307 in each group after matching). We showed that BS was associated with a reduction in mortality and no increase in the risks of rehospitalization or fracture events.

BACKGROUND: Despite bariatric surgery showing significant weight loss trajectories for many patients, a substantial proportion regain weight after the first year following surgery. The addition of telemedicine to standard care could support patients with engaging in a more active lifestyle and thus improve clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to evaluate a telemedicine intervention program dedicated to the promotion of physical activity including digital devices, teleconsultation, and telemonitoring the first 6 months following bariatric surgery. METHODS: This study employed a mixed methods design based on an open-label randomized controlled trial. Patients were included during the first week after bariatric surgery; then, they were randomized into 2 intervention groups: The TelePhys group received a monthly telemedicine consultation focusing on physical activity coaching, while the TeleDiet group received a monthly telemedicine consultation involving diet coaching. Data were collected using a watch pedometer and body weight scale, both of which were connected wirelessly. The primary outcome was the difference between the 2 groups in the mean numbers of steps at the first and sixth postoperative months. Weight change was also evaluated, and focus groups and interviews were conducted to enrich the results and capture perceptions of the telemedicine provided. RESULTS: Among the 90 patients (mean age 40.6, SD 10.4 years; 73/90, 81% women; 62/90, 69% gastric bypass), 70 completed the study until the sixth month (n=38 TelePhys; n=32 TeleDiet), and 18 participants agreed to be interviewed (n=8 Telephys; n=10 TeleDiet). An increase in the mean number of steps between the first and sixth months was found in both groups, but this change was significant only in the TeleDiet group (P=.01). No difference was found when comparing both intervention groups. Interviewed participants reported having appreciated the teleconsultations, as the individualized tailored counseling helped them to make better choices about behaviors that could increase their likelihood of a daily life in better health. Weight loss followed by social factors (such as social support) were identified as the main facilitators to physical activity. Family responsibilities, professional constraints as well as poor urban policies promoting physical activity, and lack of accessibility to sport infrastructure were their major barriers to postoperative lifestyle adherence. CONCLUSIONS: Our study did not show any difference in mobility recovery after bariatric surgery related to a telemedicine intervention dedicated to physical activity. The early postoperative timing for our intervention may explain the null findings. eHealth interventions aiming to change behaviors and carried out by clinicians require support from structured public health policies that tackle patients' obesogenic environment in order to be efficient in their struggle against sedentary lifestyle-related pathologies. Further research will need to focus on long-term interventions. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02716480, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02716480.
RESUMO
Background: People are conversing about bariatric surgery on social media, but little is known about the main themes being discussed. Objective: To analyze discussions regarding bariatric surgery on social media platforms and to establish a cross-cultural comparison of posts geolocated in France and the United States. Methods: Posts were retrieved between January 2015 and April 2021 from general, publicly accessed sites and health-related forums geolocated in both countries. After processing and cleaning the data, posts of patients and caregivers about bariatric surgery were identified using a supervised machine learning algorithm. Results: The analysis dataset contained a total of 10,800 posts from 4,947 web users in France and 51,804 posts from 40,278 web users in the United States. In France, post-operative follow-up (n = 3,251, 30.1% of posts), healthcare pathways (n = 2,171, 20.1% of the posts), and complementary and alternative weight loss therapies (n = 1,652, 15.3% of the posts) were among the most discussed topics. In the United States, the experience with bariatric surgery (n = 11,138, 21.5% of the posts) and the role of physical activity and diet in weight-loss programs before surgery (n = 9,325, 18% of the posts) were among the most discussed topics. Conclusion: Social media analysis provides a valuable toolset for clinicians to help them increase patient-centered care by integrating the patients' and caregivers' needs and concerns into the management of bariatric surgery.
RESUMO
Importance: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is the most efficient therapeutic option for severe obesity. Most patients who undergo MBS are women of childbearing age. Data in the scientific literature are generally of a low quality due to a lack of well-controlled prospective trials regarding obstetric, neonatal, and child outcomes. Objective: To assess the risk-benefit balance associated with MBS around obstetric, neonatal, and child outcomes. Design, Setting, and Participants: The study included 53â¯813 women on the French nationwide database who underwent an MBS procedure and delivered a child between January 2012 and December 2018. Each women was their own control by comparing pregnancies before and after MBS. Exposures: The women included were exposed to either gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. Main Outcomes and Measures: The study team first compared prematurity and birth weights in neonates born before and after maternal MBS with each other. Then they compared the frequencies of all pregnancy and child diagnoses in the first 2 years of life before and after maternal MBS with each other. Results: A total of 53â¯813 women (median [IQR] age at surgery, 30 [26-35] years) were included, among 3686 women who had 1 pregnancy both before and after MBS. The study team found a significant increase in the small-for-gestational-age neonate rate after MBS (+4.4%) and a significant decrease in the large-for-gestational-age neonate rate (-12.6%). The study team highlighted that compared with pre-MBS births, after MBS births had fewer occurrences of gestational hypertension (odds ratio [OR], 0.16; 95% CI, 0.10-0.23) and gestational diabetes for the mother (OR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.34-0.45), as well as fewer birth injuries to the skeleton (OR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.11-0.60), febrile convulsions (OR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.21-0.67), viral intestinal infections (OR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.43-0.71), or carbohydrate metabolism disorders in newborns (OR, 0.54; 95% CI 0.46-0.63), but an elevated respiratory failure rate (OR, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.76-3.36) associated with bronchiolitis. Conclusions and Relevance: The risk-benefit balance associated with MBS is highly favorable for pregnancies and newborns but may cause an increased risk of respiratory failure associated with bronchiolitis. Further studies are needed to better assess the middle- and long-term benefits and risks associated with MBS.

Bariatric endoscopy (BE) is an emerging treatment option for people with obesity. Spin (i.e., the practice of frequent misrepresentation or overinterpretation of study findings) may lead to imbalanced and unjustified optimism in the interpretation of the results. The aim of this systematic review was to determine the frequency and type of spin in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of endoscopic primary weight loss techniques with statistically significant and nonsignificant primary outcomes. In conclusion, spin is observed in the abstract and main text of BE reports and can lead to misinterpretation or overinterpretation of the results. Since BE challenges the available non-endoscopic treatments for obesity, further research is needed to better qualify these techniques, as being effective and safe, as well as predefined hypotheses and analyses.

We report the case of a 36-year-old woman who developed non-diabetic ketoacidosis following a low carbohydrate diet in order to lose weight while actively breast feeding her newborn. She was admitted in intensive care unit because of severe metabolic acidosis. She rapidly recovered after refeeding process. Lactation ketoacidosis, a special condition that occurs in non-diabetic breastfeeding women, is rare and life-threatening. This report highlights the importance of nutritional education of lactating women in the post-partum period.

While research publications on bariatric surgery (BS) have grown significantly over the past decade, there is no mapping of the existing body of evidence on this field of research. We performed a systematic review followed by a mapping of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in BS for people with obesity. From January 2020 to December 2020, we performed a systematic review of RCTs evaluating BS, versus another surgical procedure, or versus a medical control group, through a search of Embase and PubMed. There was no restriction on outcomes for study selection. A total of 114 RCTs were included, most (73.7%) of which were based on a comparison with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and conducted between 2010 and 2020. Only 15% of the trials were multicenter and few (3.5%) were international. The median number of patients enrolled was 61 (interquartile range [IQR]: 47.3-100). Follow-up time was 1 to 2 years in 36% and 22.8% of the trials, respectively. Weight loss was the most studied criterion (87% of RCTs), followed by obesity-related diseases, and medical and surgical complications (73%, 54%, and 47% of RCTs, respectively). Nutritional deficiency frequency, body composition, and mental health were little studied (20%, 18% and 5% of RCTs, respectively). Our literature review revealed that much research in BS is wasted because of replication of RCTs on subjects for which there is already body of evidence, with small populations and follow-up times mostly below 2 years. Yet several research questions remain unaddressed, and there are few long-term trials. Future studies should take into account the experience of the past 70 years of research in this field.

Recent studies suggest that vegetarian diets may be recommended to promote weight loss in individuals living with obesity. However, limited studies have examined psychological factors (e.g., eating styles, impulsivity) among individuals who have adopted this type of diet, even though these factors are known to play a role in being overweight. The primary objective of the present study was to compare these characteristics in participants living with obesity or those with normal-weight across diet types. Participants were recruited from two hospital nutrition departments and the general population. They completed a diagnostic interview assessing the presence of an eating disorder, followed by self-administered questionnaires measuring dysfunctional eating styles (DEBQ), impulsivity (UPPS), and emotional competence (PEC). Vegetarian participants living with obesity engaged in more dysfunctional eating styles than did normal-weight omnivores and experienced more emotional difficulties than did both normal-weight omnivores and vegetarians. In contrast, there were no significant differences between omnivore participants living with obesity and those in the other groups. Moreover, participants living with obesity had comparable emotion regulation abilities to normal-weight participants. These results suggest that emotion regulation deficits can more likely be explained by the presence of psychopathological traits than by being overweight or one's choice of diet.

OBJECTIVE: Studies on obesity costs have focused on global costs of people with obesity but scarcely investigated their precise use of health care. The aim of this study is to document real-life health care use across obesity classes. METHODS: Data of participants with obesity and enrolled in the CONSTANCES cohort were analyzed. Health care use was defined as ≥1 visit to general practitioners, specialists, emergency departments, and inpatient hospital admissions versus none over a 3-year period prior to enrollment and was obtained from the Universal Health Insurance database. Multivariate regression models were conducted and adjusted for comorbidities and social deprivation markers with medical visits as the outcome variables and compared people with class II and III obesity versus class I obesity. RESULTS: Out of the 10,774 participants with obesity, 613 (5.7%) had class III obesity, and 2,076 (19.3%) had class II obesity. Compared with participants with class I obesity, class III obesity participants had higher odds of visiting emergency departments (OR = 1.31; 95% CI: 1.07-1.61) and various specialist physicians (pneumologists, endocrinologists, cardiologists) but lower odds of visiting gynecologists (OR = 0.69; 95% CI 0.55-0.87). Participants with class II obesity had lower odds of visiting general practitioners, dentists, and psychiatrists. There was no difference with regard to hospital admissions. CONCLUSION: Health care use by people with obesity differs across classes.

The bariatric surgery (BS) research landscape is a continuous evolving. Since the first described procedure, numerous different techniques have been developed by surgical teams. In this context, we conducted a systematic mapping of upcoming randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in BS for people with obesity. In June 2021, we performed a systematic review of RCTs evaluating BS versus another surgical procedure or versus a medical control group, through a search in ClinicalTrials.gov. There was no restriction on outcomes for study selection. A total of 62 RCTs were included, totaling 10,800 potential individuals to be included, with planned Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy surgeries the most common. The median number of patients planned to be enrolled is 78 (IQR: 50-143). Mean follow-up time is 12 months in 55% of trials and 4 years or more in 23%. The most frequent (81% of RCTs) outcomes to be investigated are obesity-related diseases with the study of type 2 diabetes, followed by weight loss, quality of life, and surgical complications. The rising number of BS procedures around the world has been followed by a subsequent surge in BS research. An increase in interest is observed in outcomes such as obesity-related diseases, intermediate metabolic markers, quality of life, and body composition.

OBJECTIVES: One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is as effective as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) regarding weight loss and diabetes remission. However, there are no data on gut hormone secretions after OAGB. The aim of this study was to compare fasting and postprandial secretions of gut and pancreatic hormones in OAGB versus RYGB patients. DESIGN AND METHODS: Twenty-nine patients, 16 OAGB- and 13 RYGB-operated, underwent a liquid mixed-meal tolerance test at 2 years' post-surgery. Blood was sampled before and 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min after meal for plasma measurement of glucose, C-peptide, insulin, glucagon, GLP-1, GIP, GLP-2, PYY, and ghrelin. RESULTS: Percentage of total weight loss 2 years post-surgery were -33.9 ± 1.8% for OAGB and -31.2 ± 1.6% for RYGB (p = 0.6). Four patients with persistent diabetes were excluded for further analysis. Fasting and postprandial glucose levels (peaks and area under curve values) were similar between groups. HOMA index was lower in the OAGB group (0.8 ± 0.1 vs 1.3 ± 0.2 in RYGB, p < 0.05). Levels of C-peptide (or insulin) measured at 30 min were significantly lower in OAGB vs RYGB patients (6.9 ± 0.5 vs 9.7 ± 1.1 µg/l, p < 0.05). No difference was observed between OAGB and RYGB groups for GLP-1, GLP-2, PYY, or ghrelin postprandial secretions, but GIP tended to be lower in OAGB vs RYGB patients (756 ± 155 vs 1100 ± 188 pg/ml for postprandial peak concentrations, p = 0.06). CONCLUSIONS: This is the first clinical study showing that OAGB procedure, like RYGB, results in high postprandial secretions of gut hormones, in particular GLP-1. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinical Trials NCT03482895.

BACKGROUND: Acute thiamine deficiency can occur in patients with or without history of alcohol abuse and can lead to life-threatening complications. Clinical diagnosis is challenging, often resulting in delayed recognition and treatment. Patients may present with heterogenous symptoms, more diverse than the historical neurological description. Cerebral MRI can contribute to the diagnosis in patients with neurological signs but it is not always feasible in emergency settings. Prompt parenteral supplementation is required to obtain the improvement of symptoms and avoid chronic complications. AIMS: To describe the clinical presentation of reported cases of thiamine deficiency, assess prescription and results of cerebral imaging, review treatments that had been prescribed in accordance or not with available guidelines, and study the short-term outcome of these patients. METHODS: This is a monocentric retrospective analysis of all reported cases of thiamine deficiency in a French tertiary hospital between January 1st 2008 and December 31st 2018. RESULTS: Fifty-six cases were identified during the study period. Forty-five (80%) patients had a history of alcohol abuse. Most patients were diagnosed based on neurological symptoms but non-specific and digestive symptoms were frequent. Thirty-four percent of patients fulfilled clinical criteria for malnutrition. A brain MRI was performed in 54% of patients and was abnormal in 63% of these cases. Eighty-five percent of patients were treated by parenteral thiamine administration and the supplementation was continued orally in 55% of them. The majority of patients initially received 1000 mg daily of IV thiamine but the dose and duration of thiamine supplementation were variable. At the time of discharge, partial or complete improvement of symptoms was noted in 59% of patients. CONCLUSION: This study highlights the clinical and radiological heterogeneity of thiamine deficiency. These observations should encourage starting thiamine supplementation early in patients with risk factors or suggestive symptoms even in non-alcoholic patients, and underline the importance of early nutritional support.

PURPOSE: One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) may be associated with refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The nature of this GERD remains unclear. This complication can be treated either with an additional enteroenterostomy without shortening of gastric pouch (long biliopancreatic limb Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (L-BPL-RYGB)) or revision to conventional short biliopancreatic limb Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (S-BPL-RYGB). The objective of this study is to compare the aforementioned procedures in terms of efficacy on GERD symptoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective analysis between October 2012 and June 2020. RESULTS: Fifty-two patients underwent OAGB revision to S-BPL-RYGB (n = 21) or L-BPL-RYGB (n = 31) secondary to GERD. Investigation with pH impedance prior to revision was performed in 15 patients showing biliary reflux (BR) in 7 (46.6%), acid reflux (AR) in 6 (40%), and no confirmation in 2. Patients with AR had a revision to S-BPL-RYGB, whereas patients with BR underwent L-BPL-RYGB. Among the patients without pH metry results (n = 37), S-BPL-RYGB was performed for associated disabling digestive disorders or nutritional deficiencies. GERD was treated in 68% of patients with L-BPL-RYGB versus 95% of patients after S-BPL-RYGB. Patients, whose decision for revisional procedure was based on the results of pH impedance testing, did not reveal refractory GERD. CONCLUSION: L-BPL-RYGB seems appropriate in patients with BR, whereas conversion to S-BPL-RYGB should be preferred if AR is present.

INTRODUCTION: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) is increasingly used in the setting of malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). However, little is known about the role of primary EUS-GE. The aim of the present study is to compare the outcomes of EUS-GE by using the freehand technique as a first- and second-line approach after enteral stenting (ES). METHODS: This is an observational single-center study using a prospectively collected database. All consecutive patients who underwent an EUS-GE using the freehand technique due to malignant GOO were included. Patients with previous gastric surgery, a wire-guided EUS-GE technique, or those presenting without GOO were excluded. The primary outcome was the clinical success, defined as a solid oral intake at 1 week after the procedure (GOO Score, GOOSS ≥ 2). The secondary outcomes were technical success and adverse event (AE) rates. The impact on nutritional parameters was also assessed. RESULTS: Forty-five patients underwent an EUS-GE for all indications. Finally, 28 patients (mean age: 63 ± 17.2 years, 57.1% male) with (n = 13, 46.4%) and without (n = 15, 53.6%) a previous ES were included. The technical success was achieved in 25 cases (89.3%), with no differences between the two groups (92.3% vs. 86.7%, p = 1). The median limb diameter and procedure time were 27 mm (range:15-48) and 37 min. Overall, clinical success was achieved in 22 cases (88%), with three failures due to AEs (n = 2) or peritoneal carcinomatosis (n = 1). The diet progression was quicker in patients with a previous ES (GOOSS at 48 h, 2 vs. 1, p = 0.023), but the GOOSS at 1 week (p = 0.299), albumin gain (p = 0.366), and BMI gain (0.257) were comparable in the two groups. The AE rate was 7.1%. CONCLUSIONS: EUS-GE achieves a high technical and clinical success in patients with GOO regardless of the presence of a previous ES. Patients with previous ES may have a quicker progression of their diet, but the GOOSS and nutritional status in the long term at 1 week or 1 month are comparable. Primary EUS-GE might require fewer procedures and less discontinuation of chemotherapy to achieve a comparable result.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that shortening the length of the biliopancreatic limb (BPL) to 150 cm in one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) would reduce nutritional complication rates without impairing weight loss outcomes. The aim of this study is to compare patients who underwent OAGB with a 200-cm BPL (OAGB-200) to patients with OAGB with a 150-cm BPL (OAGB-150) in terms of weight loss and late morbidity. METHODS: This is a monocentric retrospective matched cohort study including patients with a body mass index between 35 and 50 kg/m2 who underwent an OAGB-150 or an OAGB-200. Patients were matched 1:1 based on age, sex, and body mass index, prior to bariatric surgery. RESULTS: In total, 784 patients who underwent OAGB were included (OAGB-150 n = 392 and OAGB-200 (n = 392). There was no significant difference in terms of early morbidity. Regarding late morbidity in patients with an OAGB-150, significantly lower rates for marginal ulcer (OR = 0.4, CI 95% [0.2; 0.8], p = 0.006), incisional hernia (OR = 0.5, CI 95% [0.3; 1], p = 0.041), and bowel obstruction (OR = 0.3, CI 95% [0.1; 0.9], p = 0.039) were reported. Likewise, regarding late nutritional deficiencies, post-OAGB-150, a significantly lower number of patients with hypoalbuminemia (OR = 0.3, CI 95% [0.2; 0.7], p = 0.006), low vitamin B9 (OR = 0.5, CI 95% [0.2; 1], p = 0.044), and low ferritin (OR = 0.5, CI 95% [0.3; 0.8], p = 0.005) were observed. There was no significant difference in the percentage of excess BMI loss at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years. CONCLUSION: Compared to OAGB-200 in patients with BMI ≤ 50 kg/m2, OAGB-150 results in fewer nutritional deficiency rates long term, without impairing weight loss.

OBJECTIVES: To systematically identify the strategy and frequency of spin in reports of bariatric surgery randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with statistically nonsignificant primary endpoint. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: The use of specific reporting strategies to highlight the beneficial effect of an experimental treatment can affect the reader interpretation of trial results, particularly when the primary endpoint is not statistically significant. A literature search was performed to identify RCTs publications assessing the impact of bariatric surgery on obesity-related comorbidities published over the past 10 years (from January 2020 till December 2020) in MEDLINE and EMBASE. RCTs publications with statistically non-significant primary outcomes were included. RESULTS: Of 46 576 reports screened for title and abstract inclusion, 29 RCT reports met the inclusion criteria for spin analysis. In total, 16 abstracts (55%) and 18 main texts (62%) were classified as having a spin. In abstract results and conclusion sections, the spin was identified in 69% of reports. In main text results, discussion, and conclusion sections, the spin was recognized in 37%, 72%, and 76% of reports respectively. The spin consisted mainly of focusing on within-group improvements and the interpretation of statistically nonsignificant results as showing treatment equivalence. CONCLUSION: Spin occurred in a high proportion of bariatric surgery RCTs with a statistically nonsignificant primary endpoint.
