RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a risk prediction model of 90-day mortality (90DM) using machine learning in a large multicenter cohort of patients undergoing gastric cancer resection with curative intent. BACKGROUND: The 90DM rate after gastrectomy for cancer is a quality of care indicator in surgical oncology. There is a lack of well-validated instruments for personalized prognosis of gastric cancer. METHODS: Consecutive patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent potentially curative gastrectomy between 2014 and 2021 registered in the Spanish EURECCA Esophagogastric Cancer Registry database were included. The 90DM for all causes was the study outcome. Preoperative clinical characteristics were tested in four 90DM predictive models: Cross Validated Elastic regularized logistic regression method (cv-Enet), boosting linear regression (glmboost), random forest, and an ensemble model. Performance was evaluated using the area under the curve by 10-fold cross-validation. RESULTS: A total of 3182 and 260 patients from 39 institutions in 6 regions were included in the development and validation cohorts, respectively. The 90DM rate was 5.6% and 6.2%, respectively. The random forest model showed the best discrimination capacity with a validated area under the curve of 0.844 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.841-0.848] as compared with cv-Enet (0.796, 95% CI: 0.784-0.808), glmboost (0.797, 95% CI: 0.785-0.809), and ensemble model (0.847, 95% CI: 0.836-0.858) in the development cohort. Similar discriminative capacity was observed in the validation cohort. CONCLUSIONS: A robust clinical model for predicting the risk of 90DM after surgery of gastric cancer was developed. Its use may aid patients and surgeons in making informed decisions.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine if the prognostic value of the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) could be modified by the presence of postoperative complications (POC) and their severity in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma resected with curative intent. METHODS: A retrospective study based on a prospective database of patients with resectable gastric adenocarcinoma treated with radical intention (R0) between January 1998 and February 2012. The primary endpoint was overall survival according to preoperative peripheral blood NLR and postoperative complications. Clinicopathological variables, preoperative blood tests, POC and its severity (Clavien-Dindo classification), type of POC (infectious or not infectious) and mortality were registered. A univariate and multivariate analysis (step forward Cox regression) was performed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to assess overall survival. RESULTS: The 147 patients with gastric cancer who had undergone radical resection were included from an initial cohort of 209 patients. Univariant analysis: type of surgery, pT, pN, postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3) and preoperative NLR ≥ 2.4 were significantly associated with survival (p < 0.05). Patients with POC showed worse long-term survival (p = 0.000), with no difference (p = 0.867) between infectious or non-infectious POC. NLR ≥ 2.4 was associated with infectious POC (p < 0.001). Patients with preoperative NLR ≥ 2.4 (p = 0.02) had a worse prognosis. Multivariate analysis: pN (p < 0.001), postoperative complications (p < 0.001) (HR 3.04; 95% CI: 1.97-4.70) and NLR ≥ 2.4 (p = 0.04) (HR = 1.55; 95% CI: 1.02-2.3) were independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSION: The preoperative inflammatory state of patients with gastric cancer measured by NLR behaves as an independent prognostic factor, even in patients with POC.

Cervical lymph node tuberculosis (LNTB) is the most common manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, resulting from the interaction of environmental and genetic factors. The immune response against TB is regulated by several cytokines, which have single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), leading to different levels of expression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of LNTB with the TNF, IL8, IL10, IL12B and IFNG gene polymorphisms in Mexican patients. We investigated the association of ten SNPs in 14 patients with LNTB and 138 healthy controls. Significant differences were found for the allele TNF-238A (P=0.03) and the genotypes TNF-238GA (P=0.03), IL8+396GG (P=0.01) and IL12B+1188CC (P=0.04). Allele IL8+781C showed some association trend (P=0.08). Haplotypes TNF-AA and IL10-GTA were of susceptibility, whereas haplotype IL8-ATT was of protection. No association was found with IFNG. The association of these polymorphisms with extrapulmonary TB was compared in different populations. Our results suggest that these cytokine SNPs may influence the manifestation of LNTB in Mexican patients; however, we are aware of the limitations of our study, so it is necessary to make a replica using a larger sample of patients, as well as an increased number of cytokines with SNPs.

This study investigates multi-dimensional impacts of adopting new technology in agriculture at the farm/village and watershed scale in sub-Saharan Africa using the Integrated Decision Support System (IDSS). Application of IDSS as an integrated modeling tool helps solve complex issues in agricultural systems by simultaneously assessing production, environmental, economic, and nutritional consequences of adopting agricultural technologies for sustainable increases in food production and use of scarce natural resources. The IDSS approach was applied to the Amhara region of Ethiopia, where the scarcity of resources and agro-environmental consequences are critical to agricultural productivity of small farm, to analyze the impacts of alternative agricultural technology interventions. Results show significant improvements in family income and nutrition, achieved through the adoption of irrigation technologies, proper use of fertilizer, and improved seed varieties while preserving environmental indicators in terms of soil erosion and sediment loadings. These pilot studies demonstrate the usefulness of the IDSS approach as a tool that can be used to predict and evaluate the economic and environmental consequences of adopting new agricultural technologies that aim to improve the livelihoods of subsistence farmers.

INTRODUCTION: One Anastomosis Duodenal Switch (OADS/SADI-S) is used both as a one stage and a second-step procedure, either planned or revisional after a failed sleeve gastrectomy. However, there is lack of adjusted comparative evidence validating its use. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Propensity-score matched comparison between patients submitted to one-stage vs. two-step OADS, adjusted by age, gender, and initial body mass index (BMI). RESULTS: One hundred ninety-five patients (130 one-stage and 65 two-step OADS) were included, with mean initial BMI 52.4 kg/m2. Overall complication rate was 6.6% in the short-term (3.3% Clavien-Dindo ≥ III), and 7.3% in the long-term, with no differences between groups. Follow-up at 1 and 3 years was 83.6% and 61.5%. After one-stage OADS, total weight loss was 36.6 ± 8.2% at 1 year and 30.4 ± 10.3% at 3 years, vs. 30.2 ± 9.4% and 25.6 ± 10.2% after two-steps OADS (p = 0.021). Resolution rates of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obstructive sleep apnea were 86.4%, 80.4%, 78.0%, and 73.3%, with no differences between groups. CONCLUSION: One-stage OADS is a safe and effective bariatric technique for patients with grade III and IV obesity. The two-step strategy does not reduce postoperative risks and may compromise weight loss results at mid-term.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate different preoperative immune, inflammatory, and nutritional scores and their best cut-off values as predictors of poorer overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients who underwent curative gastric cancer resection. Methods: This was a retrospective observational multicentre study based on data of the Spanish EURECCA Esophagogastric Cancer Registry. Time-dependent Youden index and log-rank test were used to obtain the best cut-offs of 18 preoperative biomarkers for OS and DFS. An adjusted Cox model with variables selected by bootstrapping was used to identify the best preoperative biomarkers, which were also analysed for every TNM stage. Results: High neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), high monocyte systemic inflammation index (moSII), and low prognostic nutritional index (PNI) were identified as independent predictors of poor outcome: NLR > 5.91 (HR:1.73; 95%CI [1.23-2.43]), moSII >2027.12 (HR:2.26; 95%CI [1.36-3.78]), and PNI >40.31 (HR:0.75; 95%CI [0.58-0.96]) for 5-year OS and NLR > 6.81 (HR:1.75; 95%CI [1.24-2.45]), moSII > 2027.12 (HR:2.46; 95%CI [1.49-4.04]), and PNI > 40.31 (HR:0.77; 95%CI [0.60,0.97]) for 5-year DFS. These outcomes were maintained in the whole cohort for NLR and moSII (p < 0.05) but not in stage II and for PNI in all tumoral stages. The associations of NLR-PNI and moSII-PNI were also a relevant prognostic factor for OS. Conclusions: High NLR, high moSII (for stages I and III), and low PNI (regardless of tumour stage) were the most promising preoperative biomarkers to predict poor OS and DFS in gastric cancer patients treated with curative intent.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Radical gastrectomy remains the main treatment for gastric cancer, despite its high mortality. A clinical predictive model of 90-day mortality (90DM) risk after gastric cancer surgery based on the Spanish EURECCA registry database was developed using a matching learning algorithm. We performed an external validation of this model based on data from an international multicenter cohort of patients. METHODS: A cohort of patients from the European GASTRODATA database was selected. Demographic, clinical, and treatment variables in the original and validation cohorts were compared. The performance of the model was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC) for a random forest model. RESULTS: The validation cohort included 2546 patients from 24 European hospitals. The advanced clinical T- and N-category, neoadjuvant therapy, open procedures, total gastrectomy rates, and mean volume of the centers were significantly higher in the validation cohort. The 90DM rate was also higher in the validation cohort (5.6%) vs. the original cohort (3.7%). The AUC in the validation model was 0.716. CONCLUSION: The externally validated model for predicting the 90DM risk in gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy with curative intent continues to be as useful as the original model in clinical practice.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) is a safe and effective technique with good short- and mid-term weight control and associated medical problems remission for patients with a body mass index (BMI) > 45 kg/m2. The aim of this study was to analyze patient-reported symptoms, specifically symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms (GERD), depositional habit, and quality of life (QOL) following SADI-S, using telemedicine and validated tests. METHODS: A prospective unicentric cross-sectional study was conducted including all patients submitted to SADI-S in the University Hospital of Bellvitge from May 2014 to September 2019. A baseline control group was composed of 67 patients who were planning to undergo SADI-S in the following 4 months. Patients were divided into four groups: pre-SADIS, < 2 years, 2-3 years, and > 3 years after surgery. The information gathered via a telematic questionnaire was analyzed and compared with its presence in patients' clinical history derived from the last presential visit. RESULTS: The response rate to telematic tests was 86.9%. The mean BMI exhibited significant differences depending on the moment of evaluation: 50.8 kg/m2, 30.0 kg/m2, 31.1 kg/m2, and 32.7 kg/m2 at pre-SADIS, < 2, 2-3, and > 3 years follow-up, respectively (p < 0.001). The proportion of GERD symptoms increased over time (17.9%, 18.8%, 26.9%, and 30.2%, p = 0.320). After SADIS, the percentage of patients with loose stools was progressively higher (17.4% vs 25.4% vs 30.2%, p = 0.04). Patients with < 2-year follow-up presented an improvement in both physical component (PCS) and mental component (MCS) summaries compared to the baseline group (PCS = 51.3, and MCS = 49.4). The mean BMI of patients with PCS ≥ 50 was 31.9 kg/m2, compared with 41.7 kg/m2 in the PCS < 50 group (p < 0.001). In the MCS ≥ 50 group, there were more patients with a BMI < 35 kg/m2 than the MCS < 50 group (66.7% vs 48.7%, p = 0.004). Telematic follow-up offered a more systemic and detailed information: in the last presential visit only, 13.9% of patients had complete data regarding weight evolution, remission of associated medical problems, GERD symptoms, and depositional habit in comparison with the 82.9% of patients with telematic follow-up (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Weight control is the main factor related to long-term QOL after SADI-S. The incidence of GERD symptoms and diarrhea was up to 30% in patients with > 3-year follow-up. Monitoring postoperative patient-related symptoms with validated objective tests seems a feasible and useful resource for the long-term follow-up of patients submitted to SADI-S.

Patient Blood Management (PBM) programs have probed to reduce blood transfusions and postoperative complications following gastric cancer resection, but evidence on their economic benefit is scarce. A recent prospective interventional study of our group described a reduction in transfusions, infectious complications and length of stay after implementation of a multicenter PBM program in patients undergoing elective gastric cancer resection with curative intent. The aim of the present study was to analyze the economic impact associated with these clinical benefits. The mean [and 95% CI] of total healthcare cost per patient was lower (-1955 [-3764, -119] ) after the PBM program implementation. The main drivers of this reduction were the hospital stay (-1847 [-3161, -553] ), blood transfusions (-100 [-145, -56] ), and post-operative complications (-162 [-718, 411] ). Total societal cost was reduced by -2243 [-4244, -210] per patient. These findings highlight the potential economic benefit of PBM strategies.

Objective: To determine changes in incretins, systemic inflammation, intestinal permeability and microbiome modifications 12 months after metabolic RYGB (mRYGB) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and their relationship with metabolic improvement. Materials and methods: Prospective single-center non-randomized controlled study, including patients with class II-III obesity and T2D undergoing mRYGB. At baseline and one year after surgery we performed body composition measurements, biochemical analysis, a meal tolerance test (MTT) and lipid test (LT) with determination of the area under the curve (AUC) for insulin, C-peptide, GLP-1, GLP-2, and fasting determinations of succinate, zonulin, IL-6 and study of gut microbiota. Results: Thirteen patients aged 52.6 ± 6.5 years, BMI 39.3 ± 1.4 kg/m2, HbA1c 7.62 ± 1.5% were evaluated. After mRYGB, zonulin decreased and an increase in AUC after MTT was observed for GLP-1 (pre 9371 ± 5973 vs post 15788 ± 8021 pM, P<0.05), GLP-2 (pre 732 ± 182 vs post 1190 ± 447 ng/ml, P<0.001) and C- peptide, as well as after LT. Species belonging to Streptococaceae, Akkermansiacea, Rickenellaceae, Sutterellaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, Oscillospiraceae, Veillonellaceae, Enterobacterales_uc, and Fusobacteriaceae families increased after intervention and correlated positively with AUC of GLP-1 and GLP-2, and negatively with glucose, HbA1c, triglycerides and adiposity markers. Clostridium perfringens and Roseburia sp. 40_7 behaved similarly. In contrast, some species belonging to Lachnospiraceae, Erysipelotricaceae, and Rumnicocaceae families decreased and showed opposite correlations. Higher initial C-peptide was the only predictor for T2D remission, which was achieved in 69% of patients. Conclusions: Patients with obesity and T2D submitted to mRYGB show an enhanced incretin response, a reduced gut permeability and a metabolic improvement, associated with a specific microbiota signature.

Successful watershed planning can be enhanced by stakeholder involvement in developing and implementing plans that reflect community goals and resource limitations. Community DECISIONS (Community Decision Support for Integrated, On-the-ground Nutrient Reduction Strategies) is a structured decision process to help stakeholders evaluate strategies that reduce watershed nutrient imbalances. A nutrient accounting algorithm and nutrient treatment database provide information on nutrient loadings and costs of alternative strategies to reduce loadings. Stakeholders were asked to formulate goals for the North Fork Shenandoah River Watershed in Virginia and select among strategies to achieve those goals. The Vector Analytic Hierarchy Process was used to rank strategies. Stakeholders preferred a Maximum strategy that included point source upgrades, riparian buffers, no-till corn silage, wheat cover, and bioretention filters in developed areas. Participants generally agreed that the process helped improve communication among stakeholders, was helpful for watershed planning, and should be used for TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) planning. Participants suggested more attention be paid to ensuring that all relevant issues are addressed and all information needed to make decisions is available. Watershed planning should provide stakeholders with clear scientific information about physical and socioeconomic processes. However, planning processes must give stakeholders adequate time to consider issues that may not have been addressed by existing scientific models and datasets.

Morbid obesity and being overweight are a growing problem worldwide. They also affect patients with end-stage solid-organ disease and patients after transplant. Bariatric surgery is the most effective available weight loss procedure. Bariatric surgery can be helpful for the treatment of some conditions, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, which may lead to transplant, and weight loss can improve or even reverse them. In other cases, morbid obesity is a limitation to accessing a transplant program, so bariatric surgery can serve as a conduit to transplant. After transplant, obesity and obesity-related comorbidities can be a significant health problem that may be treated, as in patients without a transplant, with bariatric surgery. There are some specific conditions and issues to be considered in patients with end-stage solid-organ disease who are candidates for bariatric surgery, such as increased morbidity and mortality. After transplant, immunosuppressant regimens and technical limitations may be also significant.

Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most performed bariatric surgery worldwide but approximately 50% of patients will present insufficient weight loss or weight regain after surgery. In 2004, Santoro et al. described an alternative revisional technique other than DS and RYGBP called intestinal bipartition (IB). It involves a pre-pyloric gastro-ileal and an ileo-ileal anastomosis without exclusion of intestinal segments. Duodenal dissection is not necessary, making it an easier and more reproducible technical alternative to DS. its preliminary reports show good weight control with resolution of obesity related comorbidities. We present our technical suggestions to perform a safe IB in a patient with a failed SG in whom revisional DS or RYGBP were not feasible due to a vascular anomaly.

Between 2012 and 2014, 715 green coffee samples were gathered by Almacafé S.A. (Bogotá, Colombia) from 27 countries. These were analysed at the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) laboratory at Universidad del Valle (Cali, Colombia). Over 1000 methanolic coffee extracts were prepared and 4563 spectra were acquired in a fully automatic manner using a 400 MHz NMR spectrometer (Bruker Biospin, Germany). The dataset spans the variance that could be expected for an industrial application of origin monitoring, including samples from different harvest times, collected over several years, and processed by at least two distinct operators. The resulting 1D and 2D spectra can be used to develop and evaluate feature extraction methods, multivariate algorithms, and automation monitoring techniques. They can also be used as datasets for teaching, or as a reference for new studies of similar samples and approaches.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Duodenal switch (DS) is considered one of the most effective techniques to achieve weight loss and reduce comorbidities in patients with morbidly obesity. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Descriptive single-center study. 224 patients were analyzed who underwent direct laparoscopic DS in our center. The objective was to describe the results of weight, resolution of comorbidities, nutritional supplementation and postoperative complications at 2, 5 and 10 years. RESULTS: The mean age of the cohort was 49.3 [23-65] years and the mean weight and BMI were 131.8 [20] kg and 49.8 [5] kg/m2. The excess weight lost percentage at 2, 5 and 10 years was 80.6[15]%, 69.3[18]%, 67.4[18]%, respectively. Complete remission of diabetes was evidenced at 2 and 5 years in 35 (85.4%) and 27 (70.4%) patients. In the immediate postoperative period, the complication rate for Clavien-Dindo ≥ III was 15 patients (6.7%) and mortality at 30 and 90 days was 1 (0.4%) and 2 (0.9%) patients. Revisional surgery was performed in 2 patients (0.9%). 80% of the patients required an extra nutritional supplement up to 10 years after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Direct DS is a safe and effective technique in patients with a BMI between 45 and 55 kg/m2. Weight loss is maintained with a low rate of revision surgery. It is a metabolically effective technique that entails the need for a close postoperative follow-up to assess nutritional supplementation.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of perioperative blood transfusion and infectious complications on postoperative changes of inflammatory markers, as well as on disease-free survival (DFS) in patients undergoing curative gastric cancer resection. Methods: Multicenter cohort study in all patients undergoing gastric cancer resection with curative intent. Patients were classified into four groups based on their perioperative course: one, no blood transfusion and no infectious complication; two, blood transfusion; three, infectious complication; four, both transfusion and infectious complication. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was determined at diagnosis, immediately before surgery, and 10 days after surgery. A multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyze the relationship of perioperative group and dynamic changes of NLR with disease-free survival. Results: 282 patients were included, 181 in group one, 23 in group two, 55 in group three, and 23 in group four. Postoperative NLR changes showed progressive increase in the four groups. Univariate analysis showed that NLR change > 2.6 had a significant association with DFS (HR 1.55; 95% CI 1.06−2.26; p = 0.025), which was maintained in multivariate analysis (HR 1.67; 95% CI 1.14−2.46; p = 0.009). Perioperative classification was an independent predictor of DFS, with a progressive difference from group one: group two, HR 0.80 (95% CI: 0.40−1.61; p = 0.540); group three, HR 1.42 (95% CI: 0.88−2.30; p = 0.148), group four, HR 2.85 (95% CI: 1.64−4.95; p = 0.046). Conclusions: Combination of perioperative blood transfusion and infectious complications following gastric cancer surgery was related to greater NLR increase and poorer DFS. These findings suggest that perioperative blood transfusion and infectious complications may have a synergic effect creating a pro-inflammatory activation that favors tumor recurrence.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Describe and analyze the safety and weight loss performance of biliopancreatic diversion and duodenal switch (BPD-DS) and single-anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S), verifying any possible superiority according to preoperative BMI. METHODS: Retrospective review of patients who underwent primary SADI-S or BPD-DS in three bariatric centers. Study groups were further stratified according to preoperative BMI (subgroup 1: BMI < 50; subgroup 2: 50 ≤ BMI < 55; subgroup 3: BMI ≥ 55). RESULTS: Four hundred and sixty patients underwent BPD-DS (n = 220) or SADI-S (n = 240). The mean LOS was 3.48 ± 3.7 and 3.13 ± 2.3 days for BPD-DS and SADI-S respectively (p = 0.235). The mean operative time was shorter in the SADI-S group (167.25 ± 33.6 vs 140.85 ± 56.7 min) (p < 0.00). The mean %EWL was 44.2, 62.4, and 69.4 for the BPD-DS group and 48.4, 64.5, and 67.1 for the SADI-S group at 6, 12, and 24 months respectively. The mean %TBWL was 25, 35.9, and 40.3 for the BPD-DS group, and 26.2, 35, and 36.9 for the SADI-S group at 6, 12, and 24 months respectively. Overall complication rates were comparable between BPD-DS and SADI-S groups (14% vs 18%) (p = 0.219). SADI-S showed greater emergency department visits (17% vs 7%) (p = 0.005); similar readmission rates (6% vs 7%) (p = 0.80); similar reoperation rates (3% vs 7%) (p = 0.102); and similar mortality rate (0.9% vs 0.4%), after BPD-DS and SADI-S respectively. CONCLUSION: BPD-DS achieved greater %TBWL at 2 years, but no superiority was perceived among study subgroups. SADI-S and BPD-DS showed similar overall complication rates.

PURPOSE: The aims were to compare the 5-year outcomes of duodenal switch (DS) and single-anastomosis duodenal switch (SADI-S) in terms of weight loss; remission of comorbidities; nutritional status short- and long-term complications; postoperative mortality; and need for revisional surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Multicenter prospective observational study of all consecutive patients undergoing DS or SADI-S in three high-volume hospitals. RESULTS: A total of 87 patients were included in the study, 43 submitted to DS and 44 to SADI-S, with similar basal characteristics, nutritional parameters, and BMI (52.9 kg/m2 DS vs. 52.5 kg/m2 SADI-S). Operative time was 152 min (± 32.6) in DS vs. 116 min (± 21.9) in SADI-S (p = 0.043). Short-term complications were similar for DS and SADI-S, both overall (11.8% vs. 11.6%), and ranged as Clavien-Dindo > II (4.5% vs. 4.7%), with no mortality. At 5 years, DS and SADI-S results were as follows: BMI 30.6 vs. 33.3 kg/m2 (p = 0.023); %EWL 80.5% vs. 68.6% (p = 0.006); and %TWL 42.1 vs. 36.0 (p = 0.006). Comorbidity remission rates for DS and SADI-S were as follows: for diabetes, 92.8% vs. 85.7% (n.s.); for hypertension, 95.2% vs. 85.1% (n.s.); for sleep apnea, 75% vs. 73.3% (n.s.); and for dyslipidemia, 76.4% vs. 73.3% (n.s.). DS showed lower levels of vitamin B12, iron, vitamin E, and zinc than SADI-S (p = < 0.005). In the long term, there were 4 surgical reinterventions (due to 1 internal hernia in the DS group and 1 internal hernia and 2 biliary refluxes in the SADI-S group) with no cases of persistent diarrhea or malnutrition. CONCLUSION: Both DS and SADI-S allowed good weight control and resolution of comorbidities. DS achieved a greater weight loss compared to SADI-S, at the expense of longer operative time and lower vitamin and mineral levels.
