RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: There has been a substantial increase in the use of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) to treat morbid obesity despite observational evidence demonstrating the superiority of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) for reducing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. The main aim was to ascertain whether high LDL cholesterol levels should be considered when selecting the most appropriate surgical procedure for each patient (RYGB or SG). METHODS: In this single-center, randomized clinical trial using intention-to-treat analysis, 38 patients with severe obesity and elevated levels of LDL cholesterol were randomly assigned to undergo RYGB or SG. The primary outcome was LDL cholesterol remission at 12 months, defined as LDL cholesterol < 3.36 nmol/l without lipid-lowering medications. Secondary outcomes included changes in weight, other comorbidities, qualitative lipoprotein traits, cholesterol esters, glycoproteins, cholesterol absorption and synthesis metabolites and complications. RESULTS: Intention-to-treat analysis revealed that LDL cholesterol remission occurred in 66.6% of RYGB patients compared to 27.8% of SG patients (p = 0.019). Among patients completing follow-up, RYGB demonstrated superior remission (80.0% vs. 29.4%, p = 0.005). Exclusive benefits of RYGB included a reduction in large, medium, and small LDL particles. Cholesterol absorption markers showed differential behavior after both techniques: campesterol (Δ -15.2 µg/mg, 95% CI -30.2 to -0.1) decreased after RYGB, and sitosterol (Δ 21.1 µg/mg, 95% CI 0.9 to 41.2), cholestanol (Δ 30.6 µg/mg, 95% CI 14.8 to 57.9) and campesterol (Δ 18.4 µg/mg, 95% CI 4.4 to 32.3) increased after SG. No differences in weight loss, cholesterol esters, glycoproteins, cholesterol synthesis metabolites or postoperative complications were observed between techniques. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, RYGB is superior to SG in terms of short-term of high LDL cholesterol remission. Furthermore, RYGB also led to a greater improvement in lipoprotein parameters that confer an atherogenic profile. Therefore, the presence of elevated levels of LDL cholesterol should be considered when determining the optimal bariatric surgery procedure for each patient.

Background: The objective was to assess the association between early HbA1c levels and pregnancy complications and whether this relationship is affected when HbA1c thresholds are greater than or less than 39 mmol/mol (5.7%). Methods: Electronic searches of the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases up to October 2022 were conducted. We included retrospective and prospective observational studies. The inclusion criteria were as follows: HbA1c measurements taken at <20 weeks' gestation, singleton pregnancy, and no pre-existing diabetes mellitus. Results: We assessed the certainty of the evidence with the GRADE system. We determined the proportion of patients in each group who met the criteria for obstetrical outcomes and pooled data into two subgroups according to the HbA1c threshold: <39 mmol/mol or >39 mmol/mol (5.7%). Sixteen studies with a total of 43,627 women were included. An association between elevated early HbA1c levels and pre-eclampsia, large for gestational age (LGA), macrosomia, and preterm delivery (RR 2.02, 95% CI 1.53-2.66; RR 1.38, 95% CI 1.15-1.66; RR 1.40, 95% CI 1.07-1.83; and RR 1.67, 95% CI 1.39-2.0, respectively) was shown, with a moderate-high grade of certainty. According to the subgroup analysis of all studies, LGA, pre-eclampsia, and labour induction were associated with elevated HbA1c levels only in studies using an HbA1c threshold >39 mmol/mol (5.7%). The association between HbA1c levels and premature birth was statistically significant in studies using both higher and lower HbA1c thresholds. Conclusions: Women with high early HbA1c levels below the range of diabetes presented an increased risk of pregnancy complications such as macrosomia, LGA, and pre-eclampsia. An early HbA1c threshold of >39 mmol/mol (5.7%) showed the strongest association with pregnancy complications.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To assess the effects of Helicobacter pylori (HP) eradication with an omeprazole, clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and metronidazole (OCAM) regimen on the metabolic profile and weight loss 12 months after bariatric surgery (BS). METHODS: Retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort of patients with morbid obesity undergoing BS. HP presence was tested preoperatively by gastric biopsy and treated with OCAM when positive. Short-term metabolic outcomes and weight loss were evaluated. RESULTS: HP infection was detected in 75 (45.7%) of the 164 patients included. OCAM effectiveness was 90.1%. HP-negative patients had a greater reduction in glucose levels at 3 (-14.6 ± 27.5 mg/dL HP-treated vs -22.0 ± 37.1 mg/dL HP-negative, p=0.045) and 6 months (-13.7 ± 29.4 mg/dL HP-treated vs -26.4 ± 42.6 mg/dL HP-negative, p= 0.021) and greater total weight loss (%TWL) at 6 (28.7 ± 6.7% HP-treated vs 30.45 ± 6.48% HP-negative, p= 0.04) and 12 months (32.21 ± 8.11% HP-treated vs 35.14 ± 8.63% HP-negative, p= 0.023). CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative treatment with OCAM has been associated to poorer glycemic and weight loss outcomes after BS. More research is needed on the influence of OCAM on gut microbiota, and in turn, the effect of the latter on metabolic and weight loss outcomes after BS.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze pregnancy outcomes of women with one abnormal value (OAV) during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) or OGTT-intolerance, compared with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and normal glucose tolerance (NGT) pregnant women, according to whether they received any health intervention or not. METHODS: An observational retrospective study was designed including pregnant women who gave birth at Hospital del Mar, Barcelona (Spain) during December/2014-July/2018. Baseline characteristics, pregnancy outcomes and health interventions were obtained from a database collected previously for other study. Inclusion criteria were singleton pregnancies with OAV or OGTT-intolerants who gave birth at the Hospital. GDM screening followed a two-step approach: 50 g O'Sullivan test and 100 g 3-hour OGTT if the former was abnormal. RESULTS: From a total of 2,662 pregnancies, 326 (12.2%) had GDM, 87 OAV (3.3%), 65 OGTT intolerance (2.4%) and 2,184 were NGT women. First trimester HbA1c in both OAV and OGTT-intolerant women was significantly higher than in NGT group, and significantly lower than in GDM pregnants. No differences in obstetric outcomes were found between OGTT-intolerants and NGT/GDM groups. Treated OGTT-intolerants had greater gestational age at delivery than non-treated ones (weeks, 39.6 ± 1.2 vs 38.0 ± 4.0, respectively). In OAV women, significant differences were observed in newborns' birthweight (g, 3227.3 ± 500.8 vs 3351.1 ± 436.7, vs GDM) and gestational age at birth (weeks, 38.7 ± 1.8 vs 39.3 ± 1.9, vs NGT), but not in macrosomia/pre-eclampsia. No differences were found according to treatment in OAV. CONCLUSIONS: OAV and OGTT-intolerants account for a third of pregnant women referred to Diabetes Unit. Their rates of preterm birth, pre-eclampsia and macrosomia were not different from NGT or GDM women.

AIMS: The main objective was to assess if foods fortified with phytosterols (PS), including plant sterols and plant stanols, reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations. The secondary objective was to determine the impact of different factors related to PS administration. DATA SYNTHESIS: The search was carried out in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus and The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases up to March 2023. The meta-analysis was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42021236952). From a total of 223 studies, 125 were included. On average, PS lowered LDL-C 0.55 mmol/L [95% confidence interval (CI) = 10.82-12.67], and this decrease was significantly maintained for all analysed subgroups. A greater reduction in LDL-C levels was detected in relation to a higher daily PS dosage. The food format "Bread, biscuits, cereals", conditioned a lower decrease of 0.14 mmol/L (95%CI -8.71 to -2.16) in LDL-C levels, compared to the predominant food format group of "butter, margarine, spreads". No significant differences were detected with the other subgroups (treatment duration, intake pattern, number of daily intakes and concomitant statin treatment). CONCLUSION: The present meta-analysis supported that the use of PS-fortified foods had a beneficial effect on LDL-C lowering. In addition, it was observed that the factors that influence a decline LDL-C levels were PS dose as well as the food format in which they were consumed.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Since the population may not be aware of ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption as a result of ignorance or non-recognition, this study aimed to ascertain the main characteristics of subjects regarding their knowledge of different easily acquired foods through a questionnaire in Google Forms format with 52 questions. Secondary objectives were to determine whether the profile of UPF consumers can be defined based on sex, age, sociodemographic factors, and lifestyle. METHODS AND RESULTS: Responses were received from 1037 participants from a convenience sample; of these, 83 (8.0%) were sporadic or non-users, and 954 (92.0%) were frequent UPF consumers. The participants of the upper tertile correctly matched >12 food items, those of the medium tertile matched 12-9 items, and those of the lower tertile matched <9 items. Factors independently associated with participants who better identified UPF (upper tertile) compared to those of the lower tertile (reference) were female sex (OR: 2.54, 95%CI: 1.70-3.79; p < 0.001), age between 21 and 50 (OR: 3.63, 95% CI: 2.56-5.15; p < 0.001), living with family (OR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.41-9.96; p = 0.033), and eating more fruit (≥3 pieces/day, OR: 2.30, 95% CI: 1.61-3.27; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight the high consumption and low degree of awareness of UPF among consumers based mainly on food composition.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between acute-to-chronic (A/C) glycemic ratio and mortality and severity outcomes for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 91 patients were included. We measured glycemia at admission and estimated the average chronic glucose levels to calculate the A/C glycemic ratio. The primary outcome was a composite of in-hospital mortality, intensive care unit admission, and mechanical ventilation. RESULTS: Thirty-five patients had a primary outcome event, presenting a significant association with the A/C glycemic ratio (hazard ratio [HR] 1.57 [95% CI 1.14-2.15], P = 0.005). In comparisons with the 2nd tertile, the 3rd tertile of the A/C glycemic ratio was associated with the primary outcome (HR 3.39 [95% CI 1.31-8.75], P = 0.012). In the multivariate analysis, after additional adjustment for age, sex, comorbidities, inflammatory markers, and corticosteroid therapy, the association for the 3rd tertile (HR 3.96 [95% CI 1.35-11.59], P = 0.012) remained significant. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with T2D hospitalized with COVID-19, the imbalance between acute glycemia at admission and chronic metabolic control is associated with worse prognosis.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies reported an ethnic disparity in gestational diabetes mellitus-associated birth outcomes, with some suggesting that macrosomia increases to a lesser extent in groups at high risk, the opposite of the pattern observed by others. Our aim was to evaluate ethnic variation in the impact of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS: A case-control study evaluating pregnancy outcomes was conducted in women with and without GDM from five ethnic groups. Data on GDM were collected between January 2004 and July 2017. Women giving birth between May 2013 and July 2017 in whom pre-existing diabetes had been ruled out served as controls. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine factors independently associated with macrosomia. RESULTS: Overall, 852 GDM women and 3,803 controls were included. In Caucasian and East-Asian women excessive gestational weight gain (OR 2.273, 95% CI 1.364-3.788 and OR 3.776, 95% CI 0.958-14.886) was an independent predictor of macrosomia. In Latin-American and Moroccan women, obesity (OR 1.774, 95% CI 1.219-2.581 and OR 1.656, 95% CI 1.054-2.601), GDM (OR 2.440; 95% CI 1.048-5.679 and OR 3.249, 95% CI 1.269-8.321) and gestational weight gain but only for Latin-American women (OR 2.365, 95% CI 1.039-5.384) were associated with macrosomia. In South-Central Asian women, only GDM was associated with macrosomia (OR 3.701, 95% CI 1.437-9.532). CONCLUSIONS: GDM is an independent predictor of macrosomia in Latin-American, South-Central Asian and Moroccan women but not in Caucasian or East-Asian women in whom other factors play a more important role.

BACKGROUND: No studies have evaluated the effect of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cardiometabolic markers in metabolically healthy patients with morbid obesity (MHMO) at midterm. OBJECTIVES: To assess the effect of MBS on NAFLD and cardiometabolic markers in MHMO patients and ascertain whether metabolically unhealthy patients with morbid obesity (MUMO) remain metabolically healthy at 5 years after MBS. SETTING: University hospital. METHODS: A total of 191 patients with a body mass index >40 kg/m2 and at least 5 years of follow-up were retrospectively analyzed. Lost to follow-up were 37.6% (151 of 401 patients). Patients were classified as MHMO if 1 or 0 of the cardiometabolic markers were present using the Wildman criteria. The degree of liver fibrosis was assessed using the NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS). RESULTS: Forty-one patients (21.5%) fulfilled the criteria for MHMO. They showed significant improvements in blood pressure (from 135.1 ± 22.1 and 84.2 ± 14.3 mm Hg to 117.7 ± 19.2 and 73.0 ± 10.9 mm Hg), plasma glucose (from 91.0 ± 5.6 mg/dL to 87.2 ± 5.2 mg/dL), homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (from 2.2 ± .9 to 1.0 ± .8), triglycerides (from 88.0 [range, 79.5-103.5] mg/dL to 61.0 [range, 2.0-76.5] mg/dL), alanine aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase NFS (from -1.0 ± 1.0 to -1.9 ± 1.2), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (from 56.9 ± 10.5 mg/dL to 77.9 ± 17.4 mg/dL) at 5 years after surgery. A total of 108 MUMO patients (84.4%) who became metabolically healthy after 1 year stayed healthy at 5 years. CONCLUSIONS: MBS induced a midterm improvement in cardiometabolic and NAFLD markers in MHMO patients. Seventy-six percent of MUMO patients became metabolically healthy at 5 years after MBS.

The aims of our study were to evaluate the trends in the prevalence of diabetes among twin pregnancies in Catalonia, Spain between 2006 and 2015, to assess the influence of diabetes on perinatal outcomes of twin gestations and to ascertain the interaction between twin pregnancies and glycaemic status. A population-based study was conducted using the Spanish Minimum Basic Data Set. Cases of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and pre-existing diabetes were identified using ICD-9-CM codes. Data from 743,762 singleton and 15,956 twin deliveries between 2006 and 2015 in Catalonia was analysed. Among twin pregnancies, 1088 (6.82%) were diagnosed with GDM and 83 (0.52%) had pre-existing diabetes. The prevalence of GDM among twin pregnancies increased from 6.01% in 2006 to 8.48% in 2015 (p < 0.001) and the prevalence of pre-existing diabetes remained stable (from 0.46% to 0.27%, p = 0.416). The risk of pre-eclampsia was higher in pre-existing diabetes (15.66%, p = 0.015) and GDM (11.39%, p < 0.001) than in normoglycaemic twin pregnancies (7.55%). Pre-existing diabetes increased the risk of prematurity (69.62% vs. 51.84%, p = 0.002) and large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants (20.9% vs. 11.6%, p = 0.001) in twin gestations. An attenuating effect on several adverse perinatal outcomes was found between twin pregnancies and the presence of GDM and pre-existing diabetes. As a result, unlike in singleton pregnancies, diabetes did not increase the risk of all perinatal outcomes in twins and the effect of pre-existing diabetes on pre-eclampsia and LGA appeared to be attenuated. In conclusion, prevalence of GDM among twin pregnancies increased over the study period. Diabetes was associated with a higher risk of pre-eclampsia, prematurity and LGA in twin gestations. However, the impact of both, pre-existing diabetes and GDM, on twin pregnancy outcomes was attenuated when compared with its impact on singleton gestations.
RESUMEN
Acute hyperglycemia has been associated with worse prognosis in patients hospitalized for heart failure (HF). Nevertheless, studies evaluating the impact of glycemic control on long-term prognosis have shown conflicting results. Our aim was to assess the relationship between acute-to-chronic (A/C) glycemic ratio and 4-year mortality in a cohort of subjects hospitalized for acute HF. A total of 1062 subjects were consecutively included. We measured glycaemia at admission and estimated average chronic glucose levels and the A/C glycemic ratio were calculated. Subjects were stratified into groups according to the A/C glycemic ratio tertiles. The primary endpoint was 4-year mortality. Subjects with diabetes had higher risk for mortality compared to those without (HR 1.35 [95% CI: 1.10-1.65]; p = 0.004). A U-shape curve association was found between glucose at admission and mortality, with a HR of 1.60 [95% CI: 1.22-2.11]; p = 0.001, and a HR of 1.29 [95% CI: 0.97-1.70]; p = 0.078 for the first and the third tertile, respectively, in subjects with diabetes. Additionally, the A/C glycemic ratio was negatively associated with mortality (HR 0.76 [95% CI: 0.58-0.99]; p = 0.046 and HR 0.68 [95% CI: 0.52-0.89]; p = 0.005 for the second and third tertile, respectively). In multivariable analysis, the A/C glycemic ratio remained an independent predictor. In conclusion, in subjects hospitalized for acute HF, the A/C glycemic ratio is significantly associated with mortality, improving the ability to predict mortality compared with glucose levels at admission or average chronic glucose concentrations, especially in subjects with diabetes.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: This study aims to assess trends in the prevalence of pre-existing diabetes and whether the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes decreased in women between 2006 and 2015 in Catalonia, Spain. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A population-based study of 743 762 singleton deliveries between 2006 and 2015 in Catalonia, Spain, was conducted using data from the Spanish Minimum Basic Data Set. Cases of type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and 'type 2 diabetes and other pre-existing diabetes' ('T2DM and other PGD') were identified using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes. Crude and age-adjusted annual prevalences were calculated. Poisson regression model was used to assess trends in prevalence and perinatal outcomes during the study period. RESULTS: Overall prevalences of pre-existing diabetes, T1DM and 'T2DM and other PGD' were 0.52% (95% CI 0.51 to 0.54), 0.17% (95% CI 0.17 to 0.18) and 0.35% (95% CI 0.33 to 0.36), respectively. From 2006 to 2015, rates increased for pre-existing diabetes (from 0.43 (95% CI 0.39 to 0.48) to 0.56% (0.50 to 0.62), p<0.001), T1DM (from 0.14 (0.11 to 0.17) to 0.20% (0.17 to 0.23), p<0.001) and 'T2DM and other PGD' (from 0.29 (0.25 to 0.33) to 0.36% (0.31 to 0.40), p<0.001). Pre-eclampsia rose in women with pre-existing diabetes (from 4.38% to 8.97%, adjusted p<0.001), T1DM (from 3.85% to 12.88%, p=0.005) and 'T2DM and other PGD' (from 4.63% to 6.78%, adjusted p=0.01). Prevalence of prematurity, cesarean section and small for gestational age remained stable in all diabetes groups. However, the prevalence of macrosomia fell in women with pre-existing diabetes (from 18.18% to 11.9%, adjusted p=0.011) and 'T2DM and other PGD' (from 14.71% to 11.06%, non-adjusted p=0.022, adjusted p=0.305) and large for gestational age decreased in all diabetes groups (from 39.73% to 30.25% in pre-existing diabetes, adjusted p=0.004). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of pre-existing diabetes increased significantly in Catalonia between 2006 and 2015. Despite improvements in outcomes related to excessive birth weight, pre-eclampsia rates are rising and overall perinatal outcomes in women with pre-existing diabetes continue to be markedly worse than in the population without diabetes.

To ascertain the 5-year metabolic effects of bariatric surgery in poor weight loss (WL) responders and establish associated factors. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of a non-randomised prospective cohort of bariatric surgery patients completing a 5-year follow-up. Mid-term poor WL was considered when 5-year excess weight loss was <50%. RESULTS: Forty-three (20.3%) of the 212 included patients were mid-term poor WL responders. They showed an improvement in all metabolic markers at 2 years, except for total cholesterol. This improvement with respect to baseline was maintained at 5 years for plasma glucose, HbA1c, HOMA, HDL and diastolic blood pressure; however, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and systolic blood pressure were similar to presurgical values. Comorbidity remission rates were comparable to those obtained in the good WL group except for hypercholesterolaemia (45.8% vs. poor WL, p = 0.005). On multivariate analysis, lower baseline HDL cholesterol levels, advanced age and lower preoperative weight loss were independently associated with poor mid-term WL. CONCLUSIONS: Although that 1 in 5 patients presented suboptimal WL 5 years after bariatric surgery, other important metabolic benefits were maintained.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Observational studies have shown gastric bypass to be superior to sleeve gastrectomy in terms of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol improvement. If these results are confirmed in randomised controlled trials, presurgical LDL cholesterol status could be a relevant factor in surgical procedure election. Furthermore, it is also necessary to establish the mechanisms by which LDL cholesterol improves after surgery and whether qualitative and quantitative changes occur in the different lipoprotein subclasses. The first objective is to ascertain whether high LDL cholesterol levels before surgery can be considered an additional factor when selecting the most appropriate surgical procedure for each patient (gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy). Hence, the 1-year remission rates of high LDL cholesterol after gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy in patients with morbid obesity will be compared. Secondary objectives were (1) to compare changes in other lipoproteins and LDL composition and (2) to study the pathophysiologic mechanisms related to LDL cholesterol remission. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A randomised clinical trial, with intention-to-treat analysis, will be conducted to compare LDL cholesterol remission between gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, with a 12-month follow-up. Inclusion criteria will be patients between 18 and 60 years of age with body mass index ≥40 kg/m2 or ≥35 kg/m2 with significant obesity-related comorbidity and high LDL cholesterol levels. Patients will be evaluated preoperatively and at 3, 6 and 12 months after bariatric surgery. Examinations will include routine blood chemistry, anthropometric measurements, food intake recall, physical activity questionnaires and serum samples for lipidomic and lipoprotein characterisation. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval has been granted by the Parc de Salut Mar Ethics Committee (2019/8471/I). The study and its conclusions regarding the primary and secondary objectives will be presented as manuscripts submitted for peer-reviewed journal publication. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03975478.

Background and objectives: Bariatric surgery (BS) leads to several changes in nutritional habits that can be attributed to different mechanisms. Some of these changes could be achievable with a preoperative nutritional intervention. The objective was to evaluate dietary modifications during the preoperative and postoperative periods of BS. Methods: Prospective observational study of patients who underwent BS between 2010 and 2014 at the Hospital del Mar; 60 consecutive patients were included. Food consumption was measured by a validated food-frequency questionnaire at inclusion in the bariatric surgery program, after preoperative nutritional intervention, and one year after surgery. Generalized estimating equation models were used to assess differences in food group intake during follow up. Results: Energy intake significantly decreased from inclusion to 1 year of surgery (p = 0.003). After the preoperative intervention and prior to surgery, there was an increase in intake of nuts, vegetables, poultry and rabbit, fruit, fish and skimmed milk products and a decrease in bread, soft drinks and pastry. At one year post-surgery, a continued decrease in the consumption of bread and soft drinks and an increase in nuts was observed (linear non-quadratic trend). Consumption of fruit, pastry, fish and skimmed milk products remained stable showing a linear and quadratic trend. Vegetables and poultry and rabbit increased in the preoperative period and decreased after surgery, showing a quadratic but not linear trend. Conclusions: a preoperative nutritional intervention in morbidly obese patients can associate favorable dietary changes that are mostly maintained one year after bariatric surgery
Introducción y objetivos: La cirugía bariátrica produce diferentes cambios en los hábitos alimentarios que se han atribuido a diferentes mecanismos. Algunos de estos cambios se podrían conseguir con una intervención nutricional preoperatoria. El objetivo fue estudiar los cambios dietéticos durante el periodo preoperatorio y postoperatorio de la cirugía bariátrica. Métodos: Estudio prospectivo de pacientes intervenidos de cirugía bariátrica entre los años 2010 y 2014 en el Hospital del Mar de Barcelona. Se incluyeron 60 pacientes consecutivos. El registro de alimentos se midió mediante cuestionarios de frecuencia de consumo de alimentos a la inclusión en el programa de cirugía bariátrica, después de una intervención nutricional preoperatoria y un año después de la cirugía. Se usaron las ecuaciones de estimación generalizadas para determinar diferencias en el consumo de los grupos de alimentos durante el seguimiento. Resultados: El consumo de energía disminuyó desde la inclusión un año después de la intervención (p = 0,003). En el periodo preoperatorio y antes de la cirugía se detectó un aumento en el consumo de frutos secos, vegetales, aves y conejo, fruta, pescado y lácticos desnatados y un descenso en el consumo de pan, bebidas azucaradas y bollería. Un año después de la cirugía, se observó que el consumo de pan y bebidas azucaradas siguió descendiendo y el de frutos secos siguió aumentando (tendencia lineal pero no cuadrática). El consumo de fruta, pescado y lácticos desnatados se mantuvo estable (tendencia lineal y cuadrática). El consumo de vegetales, aves y conejo aumentó en el periodo preoperatorio y disminuyó después de la cirugía (tendencia cuadrática pero no lineal). Conclusiones: Una intervención nutricional preoperatoria en pacientes con obesidad mórbida puede asociarse a cambios dietéticos favorables, los cuales se mantienen en su mayoría un año después de la intervención

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Bariatric surgery (BS) leads to several changes in nutritional habits that can be attributed to different mechanisms. Some of these changes could be achievable with a preoperative nutritional intervention. The objective was to evaluate dietary modifications during the preoperative and postoperative periods of BS. METHODS: Prospective observational study of patients who underwent BS between 2010 and 2014 at the Hospital del Mar; 60 consecutive patients were included. Food consumption was measured by a validated food-frequency questionnaire at inclusion in the bariatric surgery program, after preoperative nutritional intervention, and one year after surgery. Generalized estimating equation models were used to assess differences in food group intake during follow up. RESULTS: Energy intake significantly decreased from inclusion to 1 year of surgery (p=0.003). After the preoperative intervention and prior to surgery, there was an increase in intake of nuts, vegetables, poultry and rabbit, fruit, fish and skimmed milk products and a decrease in bread, soft drinks and pastry. At one year post-surgery, a continued decrease in the consumption of bread and soft drinks and an increase in nuts was observed (linear non-quadratic trend). Consumption of fruit, pastry, fish and skimmed milk products remained stable showing a linear and quadratic trend. Vegetables and poultry and rabbit increased in the preoperative period and decreased after surgery, showing a quadratic but not linear trend. CONCLUSIONS: a preoperative nutritional intervention in morbidly obese patients can associate favorable dietary changes that are mostly maintained one year after bariatric surgery.

: Controversial results exist on mid-term effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy on hypertension remission. The aim of the present systematic review was to study 5-year hypertension remission after both procedures. One-year hypertension remission and SBP and DBP pressure change at 1 and 5 years after both surgical techniques were also evaluated. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). Thirty-two articles were included (six randomized controlled trials, 18 cohort and eight case-control studies). The proportion of patients with hypertension remission was greater for those treated with gastric bypass compared with sleeve gastrectomy at 5 years (RRâ=â1.26, 95% CIâ=â1.07-1.48) and 1 year (RRâ=â1.14, 95% CIâ=â1.06-1.21). Gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy did not differ in terms of SBP or DBP change. Patients treated with gastric bypass present a higher hypertension remission rate at 1 and 5 years.

OBJECTIVE: To study the prevalence of postprandial hyperglycaemia (PPH) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients treated with basal insulin, having fasting glucose < 130 mg/dL but HbA1c > 7.0% (53 mmol/mol). METHODS: This was an observational prospective multicentric study conducted in Spain. During 2 weeks, patients recorded a 6-point self-measured blood glucose profile (before and 2 h after eating) every 2 days. PPH was defined according to IDF and ADA guidelines (> 160 and > 180 mg/dL, respectively). RESULTS: We included 98 patients (males: 56.1%; mean age: 64.3 ± 10.4 years) who were treated with basal insulin for at least 1 year at stable doses in the last 2 months, 88.8% of them received concomitant oral antidiabetic drugs. Overall, 95.7% (95% CI 91.6-99.8) and 93.5% (95% CI 88.6-98.5) of patients showed ≥ 1 episode of PPH according to IDF and ADA criteria respectively. PPH was more frequently observed after lunch and dinner. The proportion of patients with ≥ 40% readings in range of PPH was 59.1% (95% CI 49.1-69.1) and 40.9% (95% CI 30.9-50.9), according to IDF and ADA criteria, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: PPH is very common and should be considered a priority target in basal insulin-treated T2DM patients with elevated HbA1c despite controlled fasting glucose.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Levothyroxine (LT4) requirements can presumably be modified differently after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). The present study compared changes in LT4 dose in hypothyroid subjects undergoing LRYGB or LSG 2 years after the procedure. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A 2-year follow-up observational study was conducted in a prospective cohort of obese patients who had undergone bariatric surgery and were receiving LT4. Indication for the type of surgical procedure was based on clinical criteria. Repeated measures ANOVA models were used to examine differences within and between groups. RESULTS: Thirty-five consecutive patients were included for analysis: 22 LRYGB and 13 LSG. Total daily LT4 dosage decreased in the LSG group (133.7 ± 50.3 mcg/day at baseline to 104.3 ± 43.3 mcg/day at 2 years; p = 0.047) whereas it remained stable in the LRYGB group (129.5 ± 46.1 mcg/day at baseline to 125.2 ± 55.7 mcg/day at 2 years; p = 1.000). Differences between groups became significant at 24 months. Daily weight-based LT4 dose increased in the LRYGB group (1.11 ± 0.38 mcg/kg day at baseline to 1.57 ± 0.74 mcg/kg day at 2 years; p = 0.005) with no significant changes in the LSG group (1.15 ± 0.35 mcg/kg day at baseline vs 1.11 ± 0.49 mcg/kg day at 2 years; p = 1.000). CONCLUSION: LRYGB and LSG showed different changes in LT4 requirements 2 years after surgery. There was an early decrease in daily total LT4 dose requirements after LSG, which suggests an early preventive reduction to be validated in future studies.

Antecedentes y objetivo: Las mujeres con antecedentes de diabetes mellitus gestacional (DMG) tienen mayor riesgo de diabetes. Si bien la etnia puede modificar este riesgo, no disponemos de estudios específicos en nuestro entorno. El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la incidencia de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y prediabetes en el primer año posparto en mujeres con DMG y en un entorno multiétnico e identificar los factores asociados. Pacientes y métodos: Análisis retrospectivo de una cohorte observacional prospectiva de mujeres con DMG que acudieron al control posparto anual en el Hospital del Mar, entre enero de 2004 y marzo de 2016. Resultados: Trescientas cinco mujeres asistieron a las revisiones posparto. De estas, un 47,2% fueron caucásicas, un 22% del centro-sur de Asia, un 12% fueron de origen hispano y un 10% procedían de Marruecos y del este de Asia. La incidencia de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y de prediabetes fue del 5,2 y el 36,6%, respectivamente. Los factores asociados al metabolismo alterado de la glucosa fueron la etnia no caucásica (OR=3,15, IC 95% [1,85-5,39]), los antecedentes previos de DMG (OR=2,26, IC 95% [1,11-4,59]) y el índice de masa corporal previo al embarazo (OR=1,09, IC 95% [1,04-1,15]). Conclusiones: En una población española de origen multiétnico, la incidencia de alteraciones del metabolismo hidrocarbonado en el primer año posparto de mujeres con antecedentes de DMG fue del 41,8%, siendo el riesgo 3 veces superior en las mujeres no caucásicas que en las caucásicas
Background and aim: Women with history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at increased risk for diabetes. Ethnicity may modify such risk, but no studies have been conducted in our environment. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and prediabetes one year after delivery in women with GDM and in a multiethnic background and to identify the associated factors. Patients and methods: A retrospective analysis of a prospective, observational cohort of women with GDM who attended annual postpartum follow-up visits at Hospital del Mar from January 2004 to March 2016. Results: Three hundred and five women attended postpartum follow-up visits. Of these, 47.2% were Caucasian, 22% from South-Central Asia, 12% from Latin America, and 10% from Morocco and East Asia. Incidence rates of type 2 diabetes mellitus and prediabetes in these patients were 5.2 and 36.6%, respectively. In a multivariate analysis, non-Caucasian origin (OR=3.15, 95% CI [1.85-5.39]), recurrent gestational diabetes (OR=2.26, 95% CI [1.11-4.59]), and pre-pregnancy body mass index (OR=1.09, 95% CI [1.04-1.15]) were independent predictors of impaired glucose tolerance. Conclusions: In a multiethnic Spanish population of women with GDM, incidence of impaired glucose tolerance in the first year after delivery was 41.8%, with a three-fold increased risk for women of non-Caucasian ethnicity
