Evaluation study of single-anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy in the treatment of Chinese obese patients based on efficacy and nutrition.

To evaluate the efficacy and nutrition of single-anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) in Chinese obese patients in the first postoperative year. Clinical data of 66 obese patients who underwent SADI-S surgery at China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University from November 2018 to May 2022 were retrospectively collected. The weight, body mass index (BMI), percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL), and percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) were recorded at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Moreover, metabolic disease remission and nutrient deficiencies were assessed at 1 year postoperatively. Overall, 66 patients (38 males and 28 females) were recruited, with a mean age of 35 (18-61) years and an average preoperative BMI of 42.94 kg/m2. Before surgery, 38 patients had type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 46 patients had hyperuricemia (HUA), 45 patients had hypertension (HTN), 35 patients had hyperlipidemia, 12 patients had hypercholesterolemia, 12 patients had hyper-low-density lipoproteinemia, and 14 patients had gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms (GERD). All patients had undergone a DaVinci robotic or laparoscopic SADI-S surgery, and none converted to laparotomy or died. Four patients developed postoperative complications and were cured and discharged after conservative treatment or surgical treatment. At 3, 6 and 12 months, the average %EWL was 62.07 ± 26.56, 85.93 ± 27.92, and 106.65 ± 29.65%, %TWL was 22.67 ± 4.94, 32.10 ± 5.18, and 40.56 ± 7.89%, respectively. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), uric acid (UA), triglycerides (TG), blood pressure (BP), and other indexes were significantly lower after one year post-surgery compared with the preoperative period (P < 0.05). The remission rates of T2DM, HUA, HTN, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, and hyper-low-density lipoproteinemia 1 year after surgery were 100, 65.2, 62.2, 94.3, 100, and100%, respectively. One year after surgery, the remission rate of GERD was 71.4% (10/14), the rate of new occurrence of GERD was 12.1% (8/66), and the overall incidence rate was 18.2% (12/66). Except for vitamin B12(vit B12), the other nutrient indexes were significantly decreased after 1 year of surgery relative to levels before surgery (P < 0.05). The deficiency rates for vitamin A (vit A), vitamin E (vit E), zinc ion (Zn), and folic acid (FA) were higher (45.5, 25.8, 24.2, and 16.7%, respectively); however, there were no related clinical symptoms. SADI-S had significant effects on weight loss and metabolic disease remission. The main nutrient deficiencies after SADI-S were vit A, vit E, Zn, and FA deficiencies. The long-term efficacy and safety of SADI-S warrant further follow-up.

Efficacy and safety of single-anastomosis duodenal-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy for the treatment of Chinese T2D patients with obesity.

BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for obese T2D. As one of the most effective bariatric surgeries, SADI-S was recently introduced in China, and there is limited evidence of its efficacy and safety in the treatment of obese T2D. The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of SADI-S in the treatment of obese T2D in China. METHODS: The clinical data of 32 obese T2D patients who underwent SADI-S was included in this study. Changes in weight-related indicators, diabetes-related indicators, and patient nutritional outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: SADI-S was conducted successfully in all of the 32 cases without conversion to laparotomy or death. The incidence of surgical complications was 15.6% (5/32). The major complication rate was 6.3% (2/32). At 1 year after surgery, the BMI (kg/m2) significantly decreased from 40.8 ± 7.4 to 23.9 ± 2.9 (P < 0.05) and the mean HbA1c significantly decreased from 8.5% (6.4-11.5) to 5.0% (3.8-5.6) (P < 0.05). At 2 years after surgery, the BMI (kg/m2) significantly decreased to 24.9 ± 2.4 (P < 0.05) and the mean HbA1c significantly decreased to (4.8 ± 0.4)% (P < 0.05). The %TWL was (40.4 ± 6.5)% and (42.9 ± 4.9)% at 1 year and 2 years, respectively. The complete remission rates for T2D were both 100% at 1 year and 2 years. Triglyceride levels were significantly improved compared with preoperative, from (3.2 ± 3.0) mmol/L to (1.0 ± 0.3) mmol/L (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in other nutritional outcomes. CONCLUSION: The SADI-S has excellent curative effect in the treatment of Chinese obese T2D, but the operation is challenging and the complication rate is high. Its long-term efficacy and safety require further study.

Based on Propensity Matching Scores: Comparison of the Efficacy of Two Kinds of Bariatric Surgery for Obese Type 2 Diabetes.

PURPOSE: To compare the efficacy of OADS and SG in treating obese T2D in China. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We included 99 obese Chinese patients with T2D undergoing OADS or SG with a 1-year postoperative follow-up from January 2014 to October 2021. Using the propensity score matching (PSM) method, patients from both groups were matched 1:1. Outcomes for losing weight, controlling diabetes, and nutrition were then determined. RESULTS: There were 32 patients in each group after using the PSM method, and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of all the baseline indicators (P > 0.05). When comparing weight loss outcomes, the OADS group outperformed the SG group in terms of change in BMI and %TWL, with statistically significant differences [15.0 (8.1-26.6) kg/m2, 10.0 (4.10-23.5) kg/m2 P = 0.001; 38.5% ± 6.7%, 29.5% ± 9.4%, P = 0.000]. When comparing the efficacy of diabetes, the OADS group outperformed the SG group in terms of HbA1C and complete remission of diabetes, with statistically significant differences [5.1 (3.8-5.6)%, 5.4 (4.3-7.9)%, P = 0.001; 100%, 75%, P = 0.005]. Besides, the incidence of postoperative zinc deficiency in the OADS group was significantly higher than in the SG group (P = 0.019) and there was no significant difference in other postoperative nutritional outcomes between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Although OADS and SG are both effective in the treatment of obese T2D, OADS performs better. Besides, the long-term efficacy of both needs to be recorded at subsequent follow-up.
