RÉSUMÉ
BACKGROUND: Obesity is intricately associated with type-2 diabetes (T2D) and other cardiovascular conditions, increasing morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Metabolic and bariatric surgeries (MBS) have shown promising results in significant weight loss and T2D remission, but existing predictive scores for post-MBS diabetes remission do not consider insulin dosage, potentially overlooking a critical factor. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of patients with T2D who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG). The study focused on insulin dosage impact, divided into quartiles, on remission rates post-MBS. The effectiveness of RYGB vs SG was compared within insulin dose quartiles with up to 5 years of follow up. RESULTS: A total of 508 patients (64% female, 94.9% White, mean age 53.5 ± 10.5 years, BMI (46.0 ± 8.3 kg/m2) were included in the analysis. This study demonstrates a profound association between insulin dosage quartiles and T2D remission after MBS. Patients with lower insulin requirements showed superior remission rates; those in the lowest quartile had remission rates of 73%, 70%, and 62% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively, compared to 34%, 37%, and 36% in the highest quartile (P < 0.001 across all intervals). RYGB surgery showed a significantly better remission in the second and third insulin quartiles, suggesting its effectiveness over SG for patients with mid-range insulin requirements. CONCLUSION: This study underscores the importance of considering insulin dosage when predicting T2D remission post-MBS. The findings advocate for a more nuanced selection of MBS procedures based on individual insulin profiles, potentially enhancing diabetes remission outcomes.

Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) may require solid organ transplants (SOTs) for multiple reasons, making its prevalence slightly higher than the general population. Although immunosuppression used in SOT may help control IBD-related inflammation, many patients still require additional immunosuppressive medications. We aim to assess the effectiveness and safety of the combination of SOT-related immunosuppression and IBD medications in patients with liver, kidney, or heart transplantation. We conducted a clinical review using PubMed, Scopus, MEDLINE, Embase, and Google Scholar databases for our search. We included data from systematic reviews, meta-analyses, case series, and case reports to assess the safety, effectiveness, and side effect profile of immunomodulators, biologic therapies, and small molecules in patients with SOT. Our review encompassed 25 liver, 6 kidney, and 1 heart transplant studies involving patients with IBD. Common liver transplant immunosuppressants included tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, cyclosporine, and steroids. Anti-TNF agents, widely used in all SOT types, showed no significant safety issues, though infections and malignancies were noted. Patients with liver transplant on tacrolimus responded well to anti-integrins and ustekinumab without major complications. For kidney transplants, cyclosporine and tacrolimus were prevalent, and their combination with anti-TNF or ustekinumab was generally safe, with rare reports of malignancy or infection. Hence, the use of anti-TNF, anti-integrin agents, and ustekinumab appears to be safe in patients with SOT, regardless of their transplant related immunosuppression. More studies are needed in patients with kidney and heart transplants and in patients treated with small molecules for their IBD.

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) imposes a significant health burden, necessitating lifelong pharmacological interventions, with insulin being one of the cornerstone therapies. However, these regimens are associated with health risks and psychological stressors. This study aimed to examine the rates of insulin-treated T2D remission and cessation or reduction in the dosage of insulin therapy after metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of patients with a preoperative diagnosis of insulin-treated T2D who underwent primary laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), or biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS) with a minimum of 3 and up to 5 years of follow-up. The average daily dose for each type of insulin, measured in units, was calculated at annual intervals. RESULTS: Among 287 patients included, 201 (70%) underwent RYGB, 66 (23%) underwent SG, and 20 (7%) underwent BPD/DS. The average follow-up period was 4.6 ± 0.7 years. At 5 years follow-up, the mean total weight loss was the highest in the BPD/DS subgroup at 37.5% ± 11.6%. Insulin usage decreased significantly from complete dependency at baseline to 36.2% just 1 year postoperatively, and the use of noninsulin antidiabetic drugs decreased from 79.4% initially to 26.1%. These results were sustained throughout the study period. The subgroup analysis indicated that, 5 years after surgery, T2D remission was the highest after BPD/DS (73.7%) compared with RYGB (43.2%) and SG (23.3%) (P < .001). CONCLUSION: MBS is a transformative approach for achieving significant remission in insulin-treated T2D and reducing insulin requirements. Our findings reinforce the efficacy of these surgical interventions, particularly highlighting the promising potential of procedures that bypass the proximal small intestine, such as BPD/DS and RYGB.

PURPOSE: Aromatase inhibitors (AI) block estrogen synthesis and are used as long-term adjuvant treatment for breast cancer in postmenopausal women. AI use can be associated with weight gain that can lead to increased cardiometabolic risk. The response to anti-obesity medications (AOM) in patients using AI has yet to be studied. We sought to investigate weight loss outcomes of AOM in patients taking AI for breast cancer treatment. METHODS: This is a matched retrospective cohort study of breast cancer survivors on AI using AOM (AOM/AI group). We compared their weight loss outcomes with a group of female patients with obesity, without a history of breast cancer or AI use, on AOM (AOM group). The primary endpoint was total body weight loss percentage (TBWL %) at the last follow-up. We performed mixed linear regression models, including diabetes status at baseline, to assess associations between use of AOM with/without AI with total body weight loss percentage (TBWL%). RESULTS: We included 124 patients: 62 in the AOM/AI group (63.6 ± 10 years, body mass index [BMI] 34.3 ± 7.1 kg/m2) and 62 in the AOM group (62.8 ± 9.9 years, BMI 34.6 ± 6.5 kg/m2). The mean time of follow up was 9.3 ± 3.5 months, with no differences among the two groups. The AOM/AI group had a lower TBWL% compared to the AOM group at the last follow-up -5.3 ± 5.0 vs. -8.2 ± 6.3 (p = 0.005). The results remained significant after adjusting for diabetes status (p = 0.0002). At 12 months, the AOM/AI group had a lower TBWL% compared to the AOM group 6.4 ± 0.8% vs. 9.8 ± 0.9% (p = 0.04). The percentage of patients achieving ≥ 5%, ≥ 10%, and ≥ 15% of weight loss at 12 months was greater in the AOM compared to the AOM/AI group. Although the weight loss response was suboptimal, patients in the AOM/AI group had improvement in fasting glucose, glycated hemoglobin, systolic blood pressure, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS: The use of AI in breast cancer survivors is associated with less weight loss response to AOM compared to patients without breast cancer history and who do not take AI. Studies are needed to assess the mechanisms behind the differential weight loss response to AOM in women taking AI.

Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS) is effective in improving metabolic outcomes and reducing weight in patients with obesity and diabetes, with less explored benefits in type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of MBS on weight loss and insulin requirements in T1D patients compared to insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients over a 5-year period. This retrospective analysis included patients who underwent primary sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) with a confirmed preoperative diagnosis of either T1D or insulin-treated T2D. Primary endpoints focusing on weight loss and secondary outcomes assessing changes in insulin dosage and glycemic control. After 5 years, weight loss was similar across groups, with total weight loss at 14.2% for T1D and 17.6% for insulin-treated T2D in SG, and 22.6% for T1D vs. 26.8% for insulin-treated T2D in RYGB. Additionally, there was a significant reduction in median daily insulin doses from 140.5 units at baseline to 77.5 units at 1 year postoperatively, sustained at 90 units at 5 years. The differential impact of MBS procedure was also highlighted, where RYGB patients showed a more pronounced and enduring decrease in insulin requirements compared to SG.
RÉSUMÉ
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a global epidemic, leading to an increasing focus on interventions like bariatric surgeries. Despite this, there's a noticeable gap in understanding the demographic distribution of patients in clinical trials for bariatric surgery. METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive analysis of 117 registered randomized clinical trials related to bariatric surgery on ClinicalTrials.gov. We extracted demographic information, including age, sex, race, and ethnicity, and performed descriptive statistical analyses. RESULTS: The analysis covered 8,418 participants. The mean age was 43.8 years, with a substantial majority (93.8 â%) falling within the 18-65 age group. Females comprised 74.9 â% of participants, surpassing real-world estimates. Racially, 65.3 â% of participants were White, while African Americans represented 18.5 â%, Asians 1.2 â%, Native Hawaiians 0.2 â%, and American Indians 0.1 â%, indicating an underrepresentation of diverse racial groups, notably lower compared to real-world demographic data. In terms of ethnicity, only 17.6 â% were Hispanic. CONCLUSIONS: This study reveals significant demographic disparities in patients undergoing bariatric surgeries in clinical trials. This suggests a lack of generalizability, emphasizing the need for inclusive recruitment strategies to enhance health equity.

Satiation is the physiologic process that regulates meal size and termination, and it is quantified by the calories consumed to reach satiation. Given its role in energy intake, changes in satiation contribute to obesity's pathogenesis. Our study employed a protocolized approach to study the components of food intake regulation including a standardized breakfast, a gastric emptying study, appetite sensation testing, and a satiation measurement by an ad libitummeal test. These studies revealed that satiation is highly variable among individuals, and while baseline characteristics, anthropometrics, body composition and hormones, contribute to this variability, these factors do not fully account for it. To address this gap, we explored the role of a germline polygenic risk score, which demonstrated a robust association with satiation. Furthermore, we developed a machine-learning-assisted gene risk score to predict satiation and leveraged this prediction to anticipate responses to anti-obesity medications. Our findings underscore the significance of satiation, its inherent variability, and the potential of a genetic risk score to forecast it, ultimately allowing us to predict responses to different anti-obesity interventions.
RÉSUMÉ
Background: To evaluate the weight loss outcomes of the large US cohort of patients undergoing endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) with or without concomitant anti-obesity (AOM) use. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of adult patients who underwent ESG from seven different sites, from January 1, 2020 to November 30, 2022. Percent total body weight loss (%TBWL) and %excess weight loss (%EWL) were calculated based on baseline weight at the procedure. Medication use was considered if the subject received a prescribed AOM during the study period. SPSS (version 29.0) was used for statistical analyses. Results: A total of 1506 patients were included (1359 (90.2 %) no AOM use and 147 (9.8 %) AOM use). Patients who were on an active AOM at the time of the procedure had a significantly lower TBWL% as compared to patients not on AOMs at 6 months. At the 24-month visit, patients who were prescribed AOMs after the 12-month visit had a significantly higher TBWL% and EWL% as compared to patients who were on active AOM at the time of the procedure. There was no significant difference between classes of medications at any time point, however, patients on a GLP-1RA had a trend towards improved weight loss at 18 and 24 months. Conclusion: In this large, real-world cohort of patients from the United States, data signal that with the use of pharmacotherapy at the appropriate time, patients can achieve optimal results.

Background: Semaglutide demonstrated inferior weight loss responses in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to patients with obesity without T2D. The individualized metabolic surgery (IMS) score was validated to predict T2D remission after bariatric surgery. The parameters of the IMS are HbA1c (<7%), insulin use, T2D medications and T2D duration. We aim to assess weight loss outcomes of semaglutide based on IMS score in patients with obesity and T2D. Methods: This is a retrospective multicentered cohort study of patients with T2D and BMI≥ 27 kg/m2 taking ≥1 mg of semaglutide recruited from January 2020 to December 2022. We excluded patients with a history of bariatric surgery or taking other anti-obesity medications. IMS was calculated at baseline and patients weight change was recorded at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. IMS was classified as mild (0-24.9 points), moderate (25-94.9 points), and severe (95-180 points). Analysis was performed based on IMS score quartiles and combination of Mild-Moderate vs Severe categories. We performed mixed linear regression models including age, sex, and baseline weight to assess associations between IMS categories with total body weight loss percentage (TBWL%). Findings: We included 297 patients (42% female, mean age 62 ± 12 years) in the analysis. At 12 months, there was a stepwise decrease in weight loss outcomes when comparing patients by IMS quartiles (LS mean TBWL%± SE): 8.8 ± 0.8% vs 6.9 ± 0.8% vs 5.7 ± 0.9% vs 5.0 ± 0.8%. In the mixed linear model, patients in the mild-moderate category achieved significantly superior weight loss outcomes (LS mean TBWL± SE: -8.3 ± 0.7%) than patients in the severe category (-5.5 ± 0.6%; difference: -2.9, 95% CI: -5.2 to -0.5, p = 0.006) at 12 months. There was no significant difference in glycemic improvement regardless of IMS severity at baseline. Interpretation: In our cohort, lower IMS severity was associated with more weight loss in patients with obesity and T2D. Further studies are needed to understand T2D severity and its effect on semaglutide outcomes. Funding: Beyond payment to the research staff by Mayo Clinic, this research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
RÉSUMÉ
Background: Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a safe and effective obesity treatment. The individualized metabolic score (IMS) is a validated score that uses preoperative variables predicting T2D remission (DR) in bariatric surgery. Objectives: We evaluated the applicability of using the IMS score to predict DR in patients after ESG. Design/Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients with obesity and T2D who underwent ESG. We calculated DR, IMS score, and severity, and divided patients based on IMS category. Results: The cohort comprised 20 patients: 25% (5) mild, 55% (11) moderate, and 20% (4) severe IMS stages. DR was achieved in 60%, 45.5%, and 0% of patients with mild, moderate, and severe IMS scores (p = 0.08), respectively. IMS score was significantly associated with DR (p = 0.03), with the area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic for predicting DR 0.85. Conclusion: These pilot data demonstrate that the IMS score appears to be useful in predicting DR after ESG.
Use of individualized metabolic surgery score in endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty Why was the study done? Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is effective and safe as a treatment for obesity and has also shown improvement in diabetes in previous studies. However, there is no data showing the rates of diabetes remission after this procedure and no measures to predict this outcome. This study uses the individualized metabolic score (IMS) to predict diabetes remission after ESG. What did the researchers do? They analyzed a sample of patients who had undergone ESG, and evaluated the change in their diabetes parameters at 1 year compared to baseline, and then correlated this with their calculated baseline IMS score. What did the researchers find? Patients with a higher IMS score, representing more severe disease, were less likely to have an improvement in their diabetes after ESG. What do the findings mean? ESG can be an effective treatment option for patients with obesity and early-stage diabetes.
RÉSUMÉ
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review examines the complex relationship between obesity and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), encompassing their potentially shared pathogenesis, the impact of obesity on the natural history and treatment outcomes of IBD, and the management of obesity in the patient with IBD. RECENT FINDINGS: Obesity represents a state of chronic inflammation that may not only contribute to IBD pathogenesis, but also influence disease progression, complications, and response to treatment. Increased visceral adiposity may carry negative prognostic implications for disease and treatment-specific outcomes. Antiobesity medications, endoscopic bariatric therapies, and even bariatric surgery may be effective and well tolerated in selected patients with IBD. SUMMARY: The intersection of obesity and IBD presents a significant clinical challenge, with obesity influencing the natural history of IBD and potentially affecting treatment efficacy. As obesity prevalence among IBD patients rises, a tailored approach to management is crucial, taking into account the individualized risks and benefits of various treatment strategies, including lifestyle interventions, pharmacotherapy, endoscopic procedures, and bariatric surgery.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) and endoscopic bariatric therapies (EBT) are being increasingly utilized for the management of obesity. They work through multiple mechanisms, including restriction, malabsorption, and changes in the gastrointestinal hormonal and motility. RECENT FINDINGS: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) cause decrease in leptin, increase in GLP-1 and PYY, and variable changes in ghrelin (generally thought to decrease). RYGB and LSG lead to rapid gastric emptying, increase in small bowel motility, and possible decrease in colonic motility. Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) causes decrease in leptin and increase in GLP-1, ghrelin, and PYY; and delayed gastric motility. SUMMARY: Understanding mechanisms of action for MBS and EBT is critical for optimal care of patients and will help in further refinement of these interventions.

OBJECTIVE: To compare weight loss response and changes in cardiometabolic risk markers in postmenopausal women using semaglutide with and without menopause hormone therapy (HT) use. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of postmenopausal women treated with semaglutide for overweight or obesity for ≥3 months. Endpoints: total body weight loss percentage (TBWL%) at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after semaglutide initiation; and percentage of women achieving ≥5% and ≥10% TBWL and changes in cardiometabolic risk markers (glucose, blood pressure, and lipids) at 12 months. RESULTS: There were 16 women on HT and 90 on no-HT; mean age 56 ± 8 vs 59 ± 8 yr, P = 0.2 and mean BMI 36 ± 5 vs 39 ± 8 kg/m 2 , P = 0.1; respectively. Among women on no-HT, White race, dyslipidemia, and depression were more prevalent. Women on HT had a higher TBWL% at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months: 7 ± 3% vs 5 ± 4%, P = 0.01; 13 ± 6% vs 9 ± 5%, P = 0.01; 15 ± 6% vs 10 ± 6%, P = 0.02; and 16 ± 6% vs 12 ± 8%, P = 0.04; respectively. After adjusting for potential confounders, this association remained significant across time. At 12 months, a greater percentage of women on HT achieved ≥5% and ≥10% TBWL. Both groups experienced an improvement in cardiometabolic risk markers. CONCLUSION: In postmenopausal women with overweight or obesity treated with semaglutide, HT use was associated with an improved weight loss response. This association was maintained when adjusted for confounders. Larger studies should be conducted to confirm these results.

AIMS: To compare weight loss outcomes between patients starting semaglutide who had previously been on another anti-obesity medication (AOM) compared to those who were AOM-naïve. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective study in patients with overweight or obesity taking semaglutide for weight loss for a duration of 3 to 12 months. Our primary endpoint was assessment of percentage of total body weight loss (TBWL) in patients who started semaglutide as their first AOM (AOM-naïve) compared to those who started semaglutide and had previously taken another AOM (non-AOM-naïve). The secondary outcome was a comparison of the proportions of patients achieving ≥5%, ≥10%, ≥15% and ≥20% TBWL between the groups. Our endpoints were analysed using independent t-tests and ANOVA/ANCOVA for continuous variables and Pearson's test for categorical variables. RESULTS: This study included 305 patients. Outcomes of semaglutide treatment were superior in AOM-naïve patients (n = 231) compared to non-AOM-naïve patients (n = 74) at 3 (6.3% vs. 3.8%), 6 (10.6% vs. 6.7%), 9 (14.0% vs. 9.1%) and 12 months (14.3% vs. 10.6%; p < 0.0001 at 3, 6 and 9 months, and p = 0.01 at 12 months). A greater proportion of patients in the AOM-naïve group achieved a TBWL ≥ 15% (48% vs 21%; p = 0.02) and ≥20% (27% vs 4% p < 0.01) at 12 months. CONCLUSION: The use of semaglutide in patients with previous intake of other AOMs was associated with inferior weight loss outcomes in comparison to patients who were AOM-naïve.

BACKGROUND: Obesity originates from an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. Changes in energy intake components (satiation, postprandial satiety, emotional eating) and energy expenditure have been linked to obesity and are referred to as obesity phenotypes. We aim to study if these obesity phenotypes have a cumulative effect on body weight and body mass index (BMI). SUBJECT/METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study of adult patients with obesity (BMI > 30 kg/m2) who completed the validated tests to measure the obesity phenotypes. A total of 464 were included in this study. INTERVENTIONS/METHODS: We defined higher calories to fullness during an ad libitum meal as abnormal satiation, accelerated time to half gastric emptying with scintigraphy as abnormal postprandial satiety, higher anxiety score on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale as hedonic eating behavior, and decreased percentage of measured resting energy expenditure as abnormal energy expenditure. The primary analysis was done on the number of phenotypes ( ≤ 1 and ≥ 2) with body weight and BMI using an independent t-test. RESULTS: Our cohort included 464 patients (mean [SD] age 42.0 [10.9] years, 79% females, weight 111.2 [22.9] kg, BMI 38.9 [7.0] kg/m2). There were 294 patients who had ≤ 1 phenotype, and 170 patients with ≥ 2 phenotypes with no baseline demographical differences (i.e., age and sex). Having ≥ 2 phenotypes was associated with higher body weight (115 [25] kg vs. 109 [21] kg; p = 0.004), BMI (40 [8] kg/m2 vs. 38 [7] kg/m2; p = 0.02) and waist (118 [15] cm vs. 115 [13] cm; p = 0.04) and hip (129 [14] cm vs. 125 [13] cm; p = 0.01) circumferences compared to ≤ 1 phenotype. CONCLUSION: Obesity phenotypes are associated with an additive effect on the body weight and BMI. Patients who have multiple obesity phenotypes may require a more aggressive approach to enhance weight loss.

BACKGROUND: Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) results in detrimental vascular complications including both microvascular and macrovascular diseases. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) are effective weight-loss therapies that enhance T2DM remission. However, limited data are present regarding the association between diabetes-associated diseases before RYGB and SG with T2DM remission. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study in patients with T2DM who underwent RYGB or SG. We collected data on preoperative microvascular (i.e., retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy) and macrovascular (coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular accidents, and peripheral artery disease) diabetes-associated diseases. Our end points included assessment of association and cumulative effect of diabetes-associated diseases and disease remission. We also performed a multivariate logistic regression to evaluate the parameters associated with T2DM remission. RESULTS: A total of 536 patients (67% female, 94% White) were included in this study. Patients without diabetes-associated diseases had an OR of 2.72 (95% CI 1.92 to 3.88) to achieve T2DM remission compared to patients with diabetes-associated diseases (27.9% vs 59.4%; p < 0.001). Importantly, there was an additive effect of the number of diabetes-associated diseases on the T2DM remission (p < 0.001). We demonstrate a significant association between HbA1c (p < 0.001), number of diabetes medications (p < 0.001), T2DM duration (p < 0.001), surgery type (p = 0.009), and insulin use (p = 0.04) with T2DM remission. CONCLUSION: Patients with presurgical diabetes-associated diseases had a lower remission rate after RYGB and SG. Not only do these complications represent a more practical and consistent variable to predict T2DM remission, but also help planning a multidisciplinary management of patients with more severe T2DM.

BACKGROUND: Accelerated gastric emptying (GE) is a trait seen in obesity. Mutations in the hypothalamic leptin-melanocortin 4 receptor (Leptin-MC4R) pathway have been associated with obesity. We sought to investigate the association of leptin-MC4R pathway variants and GE in patients with obesity. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study of patients with a history of severe obesity that were genotyped and completed a GE test by scintigraphy. We evaluated the percentage of GE (GE %) at 2 and 4 h between both groups using ANCOVA with weight and sex as covariates. We subdivide patients into carriers based on the location of the identified variants (i.e., upstream or downstream of the Leptin-MC4R pathway) and compared them with noncarriers using ANOVA. Results are presented as mean and standard deviation (± SD). KEY RESULTS: A total of 95 patients; nine carriers (67% females; 39.78 ± 12.33 years; BMI: 49.14 ± 12.96 kg/m2) and 86 noncarriers (87% female; 49.98 ± 13.74 years; BMI: 40.75 ± 6.29 kg/m2) were included. At 2 and 4 h, carriers had a delayed GE when compared noncarriers (p = 0.03 and p = 0.005, respectively). In carriers, when compared upstream carriers vs. downstream carriers vs. noncarriers by location there was a significant difference in GE among groups at 2 h and at 4 h (p = 0.02 and p = 0.01, respectively). CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES: Carriers of heterozygous variants in the Leptin-MC4R pathway had a delayed GE compared to noncarriers. These findings point the important relationship between the Leptin-MC4R pathway and gastric motility.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: There are limited real-world studies assessing semaglutide weight loss and associated comorbidity and metabolic outcomes over periods ≥ 6 months. We aim to assess weight loss, metabolic, and cardiovascular outcomes of 12 months of semaglutide. SUBJECT/METHODS: We conducted a multicentered retrospective cohort study on semaglutide use. We included patients with a body-mass index (BMI) ≥ 27 kg/m2 who were prescribed weekly semaglutide subcutaneous injections. We excluded patients with bariatric surgeries, taking other anti-obesity medications, and with active malignancy or pregnancy. A total of 1023 patients had semaglutide prescription for obesity. INTERVENTION/METHODS: We assessed weight loss outcomes of subcutaneous semaglutide for 12 months. The primary endpoint was total body weight loss percentage (TBWL%) at 12 months. Secondary endpoints included proportion of patients achieving ≥5%, ≥10%, ≥15%, and ≥20% weight loss, and improvements in metabolic, cardiovascular, and comorbidities after 12 months of follow-up. RESULTS: We included 304 patients (73% female, 93% White, mean age 48.8 [12.4] years, BMI 40.9 [9.6] kg/m2) in the analysis. Patients achieved a TBWL of 13.4 (8.0)% at 12 months (p < 0.001 from baseline). Patients without T2DM achieved a TBWL of 16.9 (6.9)% compared to 9.9 (8.4)% in patients without T2DM at 12 months on the higher doses of semaglutide (p < 0.001 from baseline). In this cohort, 81% achieved ≥5%, 64% achieved ≥10%, 41% achieved ≥15%, and 22% achieved ≥20% TBWL at 12 months. Patients with overweight or obesity experienced significant improvements in metabolic, lipid profile, blood pressure, liver function tests, and cardiovascular disease risk outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Semaglutide demonstrated notable improvement in obesity, metabolic, and cardiovascular disease risk outcomes in a clinical setting.

OBJECTIVE: Multiple scores validate long-term type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission after metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). However, studies comparing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) have not adequately controlled for certain parameters, which may influence procedure selection. METHODS: We conducted a multicenter retrospective review of patients with T2DM who underwent RYGB or SG between 2008 and 2017. Data on demographics, clinical, laboratory, and metabolic values were collected annually for up to 14 years. Each eligible RYGB patient was individually matched to an eligible SG patient based on diabetes severity, weight loss, and follow-up duration. RESULTS: Among 1149 T2DM patients, 467 were eligible for matching. We found 97 matched pairs who underwent RYGB or SG. RYGB showed significantly higher T2DM remission rates (46.4%) compared to SG (33.0%) after matching. SG patients had higher insulin usage (35.1%) than RYGB patients (20.6%). RYGB patients also experienced greater decreases in HbA1c levels and diabetes medication usage than SG patients. CONCLUSIONS: RYGB demonstrates higher efficacy for T2DM remission compared to SG, regardless of baseline characteristics, T2DM severity, weight loss, and follow-up duration. Further studies are needed to understand the long-term metabolic effects of MBS and the underlying pathophysiology of T2DM remission after MBS.

AIM: Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is considered one of the most effective interventions for weight loss and associated type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remission. Multiple scores including the Individualized Metabolic Surgery (IMS), DiaRem, advanced DiaRem, and Robert et al. scores, have been developed predict T2DM remission after MBS. We aim to validate each of these scores in our cohort of patients undergoing MBS with long-term follow-up and assess their efficacy based on procedure type and preoperative BMI. METHODS: We conducted a multicenter cohort study including patients with T2DM undergoing either Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Areas under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve (AUC) were calculated to assess the discriminatory ability of the four models to detect T2DM remission. RESULTS: A total of 503 patients (67 % females, mean age 53.5 [11] years, BMI 46.2 [8.8] kg/m2) with T2DM were included. The majority (78 %) underwent RYGB, while the rest (28 %) had SG. All four scores predicted T2DM remission in our cohort with an ROC AUC of 0.79 for IMS, 0.78 for both DiaRem and advanced-DiaRem, and 0.75 for Robert et al. score. Specific subgroups for each of these scores demonstrated higher T2DM remission rates after RYGB compared to SG. CONCLUSION: We demonstrate the ability of the IMS, DiaRem, advanced-DiaRem and Robert et al. scores to predict T2DM remission in patients undergoing MBS. T2DM remission rates was demonstrated to decrease with more severe IMS, DiaRem and advanced-DiaRem scores and lower Robert et al. scores.
