Background
The safety profile of bariatric surgery in patients with class I obesity, or body mass index ≥30 and <35 kg/m2, is a matter of concern among patients and physicians.Objective
To assess the safety profile of bariatric surgery in patients with class I obesity.Setting
The Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) data set.Methods
The Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program 2015 to 2016 data sets were queried for class I obesity patients who underwent primary bariatric procedures. The 30-day postoperative safety profile, predictors of adverse events, and comparison between Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) versus sleeve gastrectomy (SG) were studied.Results
A total of 8628 cases with a mean preoperative body mass index of 33.7 ± 1.1 kg/m2 were analyzed: 1838 (21.3%) underwent RYGB, 6243 (72.4%) underwent SG, 530 (6.1%) underwent gastric banding, and 17 (.2%) underwent duodenal switch; 33.9% had diabetes and 75% had hypertension. The composite morbidity rate (defined as presence of any of 24 postoperative adverse events) for the entire cohort was 3.8%, and the serious morbidity rate (presence of any of 9 serious complications) was .7%. The 30-day mortality rate was .05% (4 cases). Presence of chronic kidney disease was found to be associated with higher composite and serious morbidity (composite morbidity: odds ratio 5.1, 95% confidence interval 2.22–11.71; serious morbidity: odds ratio 5.66, 95% confidence interval 1.52–21.14). SG patients had significantly better short-term safety outcomes than RYGB patients.Conclusion
Findings from this study, the largest series to date, indicate that bariatric surgery is safe in patients with class I obesity, with very low risk of morbidity and mortality. 相似文献2.

Background
Recently, sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has become one of the most important procedures in bariatric surgery. Short-term results show that SG is a feasible, safe, and effective operation treating obesity and its related co-morbidities. Now, the main focus is on long-term data after SG.Objectives
The aim of this study was to analyze perioperative and long-term results after SG in the German Bariatric Surgery Registry.Setting
National database, Germany.Methods
Perioperative data of primary SG (n?=?21525) and follow-up data for 5 years ± 6 months (n?=?435, 18.3% of 2375 SG performed between 2005 and 2011) were analyzed. After a review of the literature long-term results were compared with international data.Results
Mean baseline body mass index (BMI) was 51.1 kg/m2. Two hundred ninety-eight (68.5%) patients were female and 137 (31.5%) were male. Of patients, 90% had ≥1 co-morbidities. Mean operation time was 86 minutes. General postoperative complications occurred in 4.1% and special complications in 4.6% (staple-line leaks 1.6%). Mean maximum BMI loss was 18.0 ± 6.8 kg/m2 and BMI loss after 5 years was 14.3 ± 7.4 kg/m2 (P < .001). Co-morbidities, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea, were significantly improved (P < .001). Gastroesophageal reflux was significantly impaired (P < .001).Conclusions
The current results showed that SG is a safe and effective procedure in bariatric surgery. BMI loss was significant 5 years after SG. Most co-morbidities were significantly improved, but gastroesophageal reflux has often worsened. The follow-up rate was very low, which is a persistent problem in German bariatric surgery. 相似文献3.

Background
Venous thromboembolism, including pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep venous thrombosis, is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality after bariatric surgery. Inferior vena cava filters (IVCFs) have been used as a method to reduce the incidence of clinically significant PEs after bariatric surgery.Objectives
To compare the incidence of postoperative PEs in patients with IVCFs with those in patients without IVCFs at the time of bariatric surgery.Setting
American College of Surgeons Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program.Methods
All patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy from 2015 to 2016 were identified within the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program database. Patients with an IVCF present at the time of surgery were compared with those patients without an IVCF present at the time of surgery with respect to preoperative patient variables, operative variables, incidence of 30-day PE, deep venous thrombosis, and additional 30-day morbidity and mortality.Results
A total of 286,704 patients met the inclusion criteria; 2512 (.9%) patients had an IVCF present at the time of surgical intervention, of which 1747 (69.5%) were placed within 30 days of bariatric surgery. Patients with an IVCF were higher-risk patients as determined by previously established risk factors for venous thromboembolism events. When a subgroup matched analysis using variables associated with the risk of venous thromboembolism events was performed looking at higher-risk patients only, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of PE based on the presence of an IVCF.Conclusion
IVCFs are being selectively placed in higher-risk patients. Despite their selective use, IVCFs do not appear to have a protective benefit with respect to the incidence of postoperative PE events. 相似文献4.

Background
Among the population of morbidly obese people, super-super-obese (SSO) individuals (body mass index >60 kg/m2) present a treatment challenge for bariatric surgeons.Objectives
To compare the long-term outcomes between laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and to evaluate the efficacy of SG as a stand-alone bariatric procedure for SSO patients.Setting
University hospital, Paris, France.Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the data outcomes of 210 SSO patients who underwent SG or RYGB between January 2000 and December 2011. The 6-year follow-up data were analyzed and compared.Results
Follow-up data at 6 years were collected for 57.1% and 52.1% of patients in the SG group and RYGB groups, respectively. Both procedures were effective at promoting weight loss. Most weight loss was achieved at 24 months with both procedures. The average percent excess weight loss and change in body mass index of SG versus RYGB showed no significant differences at the 4-year follow-up. Except for sleep apnea, RYGB showed slightly better resolution of the evaluated co-morbidities. The composite endpoint of major short-term adverse events (<30 d) occurred in 11.7% of patients with RYGB and 6.4% of those with SG (P?=?.02). Postoperative complications were seen in 26% of RYGB patients and 16.1% of SG patients.Conclusions
SG as a primary procedure for SSO patients remains effective even though RYGB achieves better midterm outcomes. SG can be proposed as the primary-option p+rocedure. Further investigations are needed to identify the ideal procedure for patients with symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease. 相似文献5.

Background
Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is currently the most commonly performed bariatric procedure in the United States; however, it can be associated with development of de novo gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) or worsening of existing GERD. Preoperative esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and findings of esophagitis are commonly used as screening tool, but the alternative use of preoperative objective measurement of acid reflux has not been studied.Objective
The aim of this study was to evaluate if preoperative objective measurement of acid reflux by using wireless pH monitoring (WPHM) could have an impact on surgical planning and outcomes.Setting
Academic Center of Excellence.Methods
Retrospective review of a prospectively collected database of 43 adult obese patients with reflux symptoms who underwent outpatient EGD and WPHM between September 2011 and September 2017.Results
Change in planned surgical management from SG to Roux-en-Y-gastric bypass with the use of WPHM occurred in 21.0% (n?=?9) of patients. Only 2.3% (n?=?1) developed de novo GERD after SG. Nonerosive reflux disease was the most common esophageal condition on preoperative EGD. EGD, as a single diagnostic tool, appeared insufficient to diagnose acid reflux and help with the decision planning in this patient population.Conclusions
Based on objective data obtained by measurement of GERD, using preoperative WPHM compared with preoperative EGD alone aids in a better patient selection for either SG or Roux-en-Y-gastric bypass. Our cohort with preoperative WPHM required no surgical conversions or revisions. 相似文献6.

Background
There is a paucity of studies comparing risk reduction of the atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and Framingham-body mass index (BMI) Coronary Heart risk score after a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and few studies have assessed the efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in reducing cardiovascular risk.Objective
Our goal in this study was to compare the impact of SG and RYGB on cardiovascular risk reduction.Setting
U.S. university hospital.Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the records of all SG or RYGB cases at our institution between 2010 and 2015. Patients who met the criteria for calculating the ASCVD 10-year and Framingham-BMI score were included in the study. Propensity score matching was used to match SG and RYGB on demographic characteristics and co-morbidities.Results
Of the 1330 bariatric patients reviewed in the study period, 219 (19.3%) patients met the criteria for risk score calculation. SG was the most prevalent surgery in 72.6% (N?=?159) of cases compared with RYGB in 27.4% (N?=?60) of cases. At 12-month follow-up, ASCVD 10-year score had an absolute risk reduction of 3.9 ± 6.5% in SG patients and 2.9 ± 5.8% in RYGB patients (P?=?.3). Framingham-BMI score absolute risk reduction was 11.0 ± 12.0% in SG and 9.0 ± 11.0% in RYGB patients (P?=?.4), and the decrease in estimated heart age was 12.1 ± 15.6 years in SG versus 9.2 ± 9.6 years in RYGB (P?=?.1). The percentage of estimated BMI loss at 1 year was 68.1 ± 23.3% in SG versus 74.2 ± 24.8% in RYGB (P?=?.1).Conclusion
Our results suggest that SG and RYGB are equally effective in improving cardiovascular risk and decreasing the estimated vascular/heart age at 12-month follow-up. 相似文献7.

Background
Bariatric surgery has proven to be the most durable treatment for obesity, and it also provides improvement of obesity's associated co-morbidities. Although several mechanisms for its metabolic effects have been studied, the implications of the surgically constructed anatomy on its functioning physiology have not been elucidated. This leaves some uncertainty regarding the recommended limb lengths in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The alimentary limb length and function has been studied extensively, but few have studied the influences of the biliopancreatic limb length.Objective
To present a systematic review of the literature comparing variations in length of BP limb and results in order to determine BP limb length influence.Setting
Academic Hospital, United States.Methods
We present a systematic review of all the articles comparing variations of the biliopancreatic limb length and their results.Results
Thirteen articles were identified and analyzed. Most of the articles are prospective studies. Weight loss was superior in longer limbs.Conclusion
Based on our review of the subject, we can conclude that the release of enterohormones in response to a food load in the distal small bowel seems to play an important role in the remission of co-morbidities. Hence, the length of the biliopancreatic limb might affect this process. 相似文献8.

Background
Current methods for weight loss assessment after bariatric surgery do not meet the high standards required to accurately judge patient outcome in a fair and evidence-based way.Objectives
To build an evidence-based, versatile tool to assess weight loss and weight regain and identify poor responders up to 7 years after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), for any preoperative body mass index (BMI).Setting
Multicenter, observational study.Methods
Bariatric weight loss charts were built with standard deviation (SD) percentile (p) curves p+2SD/p+1SD/p50(median)/p?1SD/p?2SD, based on all last measured weight results after primary LRYGB and LSG, performed in 3 large bariatric centers, expressed with percentage total weight loss (%TWL) and percentage-alterable weight loss (%AWL), a special BMI-independent metric. The p?1SD %AWL curves were compared with popular bariatric criteria 50% excess weight loss and 20%TWL. The p50 %TWL curves were compared with %TWL outcome in literature (external validation).Results
In total, 9393 patients (5516 LRYGB, 3877 LSG, baseline BMI 43.7 (±SD 5.3) kg/m2, age 43 (±SD 10.9) years, 20% male, 21% type 2 diabetes) had mean follow-up 26 (range, 0–109) months, with .09% 30-day mortality. Independent outcome is presented in percentile charts for %AWL and %TWL. Percentile curves p+2SD/p+1SD/p50/p?1SD/p?2SD showed for LRYGB 72%/62%/50%/38%/28%AWL at nadir, 66%/55%/43%/30%/17%AWL at 4 years, 64%/52%/38%/25%/11%AWL at 7 years, and for LSG 69%/58%/46%/34%/22%AWL, 65%/53%/38%/23%/12%AWL, and 63%/51%/35%/22%/9%AWL, respectively. Bariatric criteria 50% excess weight loss and 20%TWL matched with most insufficient results for LSG, but not for LRYGB (low specificities). Both p50 %TWL curves are comparable with long-term weight loss in bariatric literature.Conclusions
Just as well-known growth charts are essential for pediatrics, weight loss charts should become the tools of choice for bariatrics. These multicenter charts are baseline BMI independent, superior to current bariatric criteria, and quite intuitive to use. They allow to readily detect poor responders in any postoperative phase, monitor the effect of extra counseling, judge weight regain, and manage patient expectations. 相似文献9.

Background
Numerous studies have shown that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) differently affect metabolic disorders associated with obesity. While bariatric surgery has been shown to improve nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, very few studies have compared liver parameters after both procedures.Objectives
To compare the evolution of liver parameters after SG and RYGB and their relationships with improvement of metabolic disorders.Methods
Metabolic parameters and abdominal ultrasonography were recorded before and 1 year after bariatric surgery in all patients who underwent SG or RYGB between 2004 and 2016 in our institution.Setting
University hospital, Colombes, France.Results
Five hundred thirty-three patients (15% men, age 43 ± 11 yr) were analyzed, including 326 who underwent RYGB and 207 who underwent SG. Before surgery, body mass index (44.7 ± 5.7 versus 44.4 ± 7.4 kg/m²) and metabolic parameters were not significantly different. One year after surgery, RYGB induced greater weight loss (31.9 ± 7.7 versus 28.6 ± 8.3 %, P < .001). Metabolic parameters improved in both groups, but fasting insulin, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, C-reactive protein, and ferritin were lower after RYGB (P < .001). In contrast, transaminases were higher after RYGB compared with SG (alanine aminotransferase: 31.6 ± 18.7 versus 22.6 ± 7.7 IU/L; P < .001). The persistence of alanine aminotransferase >34 IU/L (27% versus 7% of patients, P < .001) was independent of the persistence of steatosis on ultrasonography (39% versus 37% of patients) 1 year after RYGB and SG, respectively.Conclusion
Despite a greater improvement of metabolic disorders, RYGB has less beneficial effect on liver parameters compared with SG. Further studies are required to define the mechanisms explaining these differences between both procedures. 相似文献10.

Background
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has rapidly become the most commonly performed bariatric procedure in the United States as well as other countries, with approximately 120,000 procedures being performed annually in the United States. Reoperative interventions after SG have become more prevalent in the past few years since the initial development of SG as a primary operation. Given the expected rapid growth of these reinterventions, an expert consensus conference was held with some of the most experienced bariatric surgeons in the world to better understand, discuss, and provide consensus on the reasons, indications, contraindications, and surgical options for nonresponders and complicated SG operations.Objectives
Provide consensus-based best practice guidelines regarding the performance of reinterventions after failed or complicated SG in patients with obesity, using expert opinion by organizing a consensus meeting of experts and evaluating the current literature.Setting
The meeting was held in Boca Raton, Florida on February 18, 2017.Methods
The panel of 32 expert bariatric surgeons representing 12 countries and major regions of the world and all 6 populated continents identified 54 questions for consensus. Questions encompassed patient selection, indications, contraindications, surgical technique, prevention and management of weight regain, and short- and long-term complications after SG. Responses were calculated and defined as achieving consensus (≥70% agreement) or no consensus (<70% agreement). The current available literature was extensively reviewed for each topic in question and proposed to the panel.Results
Full consensus was obtained for the essential aspects of indications and contraindications, surgical technique, management, and prevention of complications. Consensus was achieved for 35 of 54 key questions. Highlights include consensus recommendations regarding technique in reoperation, management of GERD and Barrett's esophagus after SG, and surgical options for poor initial weight loss. No consensus was reached on topics, such as management of chronic proximal fistula after SG.Conclusions
This first international expert meeting provides 35 statements and recommendations for a clinical consensus guideline regarding standardization of indications, contraindications, surgical options, and surgical techniques when reoperating on patients who underwent a failed or complicated SG. To our knowledge, the present consensus report represents the first document that defines best practice guidelines for the performance of reinterventions after failed or complicated SG. 相似文献11.

Background
A history of childhood maltreatment and psychopathology are common in adults with obesity.Objectives
To report childhood maltreatment and to evaluate associations between severity and type of childhood maltreatment and lifetime history of psychopathology among adults with severe obesity awaiting bariatric surgery.Setting
Four clinical centers of the Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery Research Consortium.Methods
The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, which assesses presence/severity (i.e., none, mild, moderate, severe) of physical abuse, mental abuse, physical neglect, mental neglect, and sexual abuse, was completed by 302 female and 66 male bariatric surgery patients. Presurgery lifetime history of psychopathology and suicidal ideation/behavior were assessed with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV and the Suicidal Behavioral Questionnaire-Revised, respectively. Presurgery lifetime history of antidepressant use was self-reported.Results
Two thirds (66.6%) of females and 47.0% of males reported at least 1 form of childhood trauma; 42.4% and 24.2%, respectively, at greater than or equal to moderate severity. Among women, presence/greater severity of childhood mental or physical abuse or neglect was associated with a higher risk of history of psychopathology (i.e., major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, other anxiety disorder, alcohol use disorder, binge eating disorder), suicidal ideation/behavior and antidepressant use (P for all ≤ .02). These associations were independent of age, race, education, body mass index, and childhood sexual abuse. Childhood sexual abuse was independently associated with a history of suicidal ideation/behavior and antidepressant use only (P for both ≤ .05). Statistical power was limited to evaluate these associations among men.Conclusion
Among women with obesity, presence/severity of childhood trauma was positively associated with relatively common psychiatric disorders. 相似文献12.

Background
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). Bariatric surgery results insubstantial long-term weight loss and the amelioration of several chronic comorbidities. We hypothesized that weightreduction with bariatric surgery would reduce the long-term incidence of AF.Objectives
To assess the association between bariatric surgery and AF prevention.Setting
University Hospital, United States.Methods
All patients who underwent bariatric surgery at a single institution from 1985–2015 (n?=?3,572) were propensity score matched 1:1 to a control population of obese patients with outpatient appointments (n?=?45,750) in our clinical data repository. Patients with a prior diagnosis of AF were excluded. Demographics, relevant comorbidities, and insurance status were collected and a chart review was performed for all patients with AF. Paired univariate analyses were used to compare the two groups.Results
After propensity score matching, 5,044 total patients were included (2,522 surgical, 2,522 non-surgical). There were no differences in preoperative body mass index (BMI) (47.1 vs 47.7 kg/m2, P?=?0.76) or medical comorbidities between groups. The incidence of AF was lower among surgical patients (0.8% vs 2.9%, P?=?0.0001). In patients ultimately diagnosed with AF, time from enrollment to development of AF did not differ between groups; however, surgical patients with AF experienced a significantly higher reduction in excess BMI compared to non-surgical patients with AF (57.9% vs ?3.8%, P<0.001).Conclusion
The incidence of AF was lower among patients who underwent bariatric surgery compared to their medically managed counterparts. Weight reduction with bariatric surgery may reduce the long-term incidence of AF. 相似文献13.

Background
Bariatric surgery can lead to changes in the oral absorption of many drugs. Levothyroxine is a narrow therapeutic drug for hypothyroidism, a common condition among patients with obesity.Objective
The purpose of this work was to provide a mechanistic overview of levothyroxine absorption, and to thoroughly analyze the expected effects of bariatric surgery on oral levothyroxine therapy.Methods
We performed a systematic review of the relevant literature reporting the effects of bariatric surgery on oral levothyroxine absorption and postoperative thyroid function. A PubMed search for relevant keywords resulted in a total of 14 articles reporting levothyroxine status before versus after bariatric surgery.Results
Different mechanisms may support opposing trends as to levothyroxine dose adjustment postsurgery. On the one hand, based on impaired drug solubility/dissolution attributable to higher gastric pH as well as reduced gastric volume, compromised levothyroxine absorption is expected. On the other hand, the great weight loss, and altered set-point of thyroid hormone homeostasis with decreased thyroid-stimulating hormone after the surgery, may result in a decreased dose requirement.Conclusions
For patients after bariatric surgery, close monitoring of both the clinical presentation and plasma thyroid-stimulating hormone and T4 levels is strongly advised. Better understanding and awareness of the science presented in this article may help to avoid preventable complications and provide optimal patient care. 相似文献14.

BACKGROUND CONTEXT
Pedicle screw loosening is common after spinal fusion and can be associated with pseudoarthrosis and pain. With suspicion of screw loosening on standard radiographs, CT is currently considered the advanced imaging modality of choice. MRI with new metal artifact reduction techniques holds potential to be sensitive in detection of screw loosening. The sensitivity and specificity of either of the imaging modalities are yet clear.PURPOSE
To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of three different image modalities (standard radiographs, CT, and MRI) for detection of pedicle screw loosening.STUDY DESIGN/SETTING
Cross-sectional diagnostic study.PATIENT SAMPLE
Forty-one patients (159 pedicle screws) undergoing revision surgeries after lumbar spinal fusion between August 2014 and April 2017 with preoperative radiographs, CT, and MRI with spinal metal artifact reduction (STIR WARP and TSE high bandwidth sequences).OUTCOME MEASURES
Sensitivity and specificity in detection of screw loosening for each imaging modality.METHODS
Screw torque force was measured intraoperatively and compared with preoperative screw loosening signs such as peri-screw edema in MRI and peri-screw osteolysis in CT and radiographs. A torque force of less than 60 Ncm was used to define a screw as loosened.RESULTS
Sensitivity and specificity in detection of screw loosening was 43.9% and 92.1% for MRI, 64.8% and 96.7% for CT, and 54.2% and 83.5% for standard radiographs, respectively.CONCLUSIONS
Despite improvement of MRI with metal artifact reduction MRI technique, CT remains the modality of choice. Even so, CT fails to detect all loosened pedicle screws. 相似文献15.
BACKGROUND CONTEXT
Patients with pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis (PVO) are expected to have an increased risk of bone loss. Therefore, early bisphosphonate therapy would be clinically effective for PVO patients with osteoporosis.PURPOSE
This study aimed to investigate the effect of bisphosphonate on clinical outcomes of PVO patients with osteoporosis.STUDY DESIGN/SETTING
A retrospective comparative study.PATIENT SAMPLE
PVO patients with osteoporosis.OUTCOME MEASURES
Four events of interest for Cox proportional hazard model included surgical treatment, recurrence of infection, subsequent fracture of adjacent vertebral bodies, and death.METHODS
PVO patients were divided into three groups: group A (initiation of bisphosphonate within 6 weeks after PVO diagnosis), group B (initiation of bisphosphonate between 6 weeks and 3 months after PVO diagnosis), and group C (no treatment for osteoporosis). Cox proportional hazard model was used for the four events of interest.RESULTS
A total of 360 PVO patients with osteoporosis were investigated for the four events of interest. Group A had significantly lower hazard ratios for undergoing later (>6 weeks after diagnosis) surgery than group C (p?=?.014) despite similar occurrences of overall surgery. A significant difference was also observed in the occurrence of subsequent fractures at adjacent vertebral bodies (p?=?.001 for model 1 and p?=?.002 for model 2). Groups A and B had significantly lower hazard ratios for subsequent fracture than group C. No significant differences were observed in the hazard ratios of recurrence and death among the three groups.CONCLUSIONS
Early bisphosphonate treatment in PVO patients with osteoporosis was associated with a significantly lower occurrence of subsequent vertebral fracture at adjacent vertebral bodies and lower occurrence of subsequent surgery. 相似文献16.

Background
A person's confidence to control eating, eating self-efficacy (ESE), has been identified as a target for long-term weight management in nonsurgical weight loss interventions, but has to a limited extent been studied after bariatric surgery.Objective
We investigated the association between ESE, weight loss, and obesity-specific quality of life (QOL) after sleeve gastrectomy (SG).Setting
A single-center longitudinal study.Methods
Data from adult patients were collected before SG, and at mean 16 months (±standard deviation 4 mo) and 55 (±4) months postoperatively. ESE was measured by the Weight Efficacy Lifestyle Questionnaire Short-Form. Multiple regression analyses were performed with excess body mass index loss (%EBMIL) and obesity-specific QOL as dependent variables. Age, sex, and other preoperative values were covariates in all models.Results
Of 114 preoperative patients, 91 (80%) and 84 (74%) were available for follow-up 16 and 55 months after SG, respectively. Mean %EBMIL from baseline to 16 and 55 months was 76% (95% confidence interval: 71.9, 79.6) and 67% (95% confidence interval: 61.9, 72.2), respectively. Preoperative ESE scores improved significantly at both 16 and 55 months (P?=?.002) but did not predict postoperative %EBMIL or QOL at 55 months (β?=??.08, P?=?.485). Greater change in ESE from 0 to 16 months predicted higher %EBMIL (β?=?.34, P?=?.013) at 55 months, and improvements in ESE from 0 to 55 months were significantly associated with higher %EBMIL (β?=?.46, P?=?.001) and obesity-specific QOL (β?=?.50, P < .001) 55 months after SG.Conclusion
Significant improvements in ESE were seen at 16 months, and remained high at 55 months after SG in this cohort. Patients who improved their ESE the most also experienced the highest weight loss and obesity-specific QOL 5 years postoperatively. Future research should address whether enhancement of ESE corresponds to sustained improvements in eating behavior after bariatric surgery. 相似文献17.

BACKGROUND CONTEXT
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) can impair blood flow to the spinal nerves giving rise to neurogenic claudication and limited walking ability. Reducing lumbar lordosis can increases the volume of the spinal canal and reduce neuroischemia. We developed a prototype LSS belt aimed at reducing lumbar lordosis while walking.PURPOSE
The aim of this study was to assess the short-term effectiveness of a prototype LSS belt compared to a lumbar support in improving walking ability in patients with degenerative LSS.STUDY DESIGN
This was a two-arm, double-blinded (participant and assessor) randomized controlled trial.PATIENT SAMPLE
We recruited 104 participants aged 50 years or older with neurogenic claudication, imaging confirmed degenerative LSS, and limited walking ability.OUTCOME MEASURES
The primary measure was walking distance measured by the self-paced walking test (SPWT) and the primary outcome was the difference in proportions among participants in both groups who achieved at least a 30% improvement in walking distance from baseline using relative risk with 95% confidence intervals.METHODS
Within 1 week of a baseline SPWT, participants randomized to the prototype LSS belt group (n=52) and those randomized to the lumbar support group (n=52) performed a SPWT that was conducted by a blinded assessor. The Arthritis Society funded this study ($365,000 CAN) with salary support for principal investigator funded by the Canadian Chiropractic Research Foundation ($500,000 CAN for 5 years).RESULTS
Both groups showed significant improvement in walking distance, but there was no significant difference between groups. The mean group difference in walking distance was ?74 m (95% CI: ?282.8 to 134.8, p=.49). In total, 62% of participants wearing the prototype LSS belt and 82% of participants wearing the lumbar support achieved at least 30% improvement in walking distance (relative risk, 0.7; 95% CI: 0.5–1.3, p=.43).CONCLUSIONS
A prototype LSS belt demonstrated significant improvement in walking ability in degenerative LSS but was no better than a lumbar support. 相似文献18.

BACKGROUND CONTEXT
Although 40% of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients present with chronic back pain, the pathophysiology and underlying pain mechanisms remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that development of chronic pain syndrome in AIS is associated with alterations in pain modulatory mechanisms.PURPOSE
To identify the presence of sensitization in nociceptive pathways and to assess the efficacy of the diffuse noxious inhibitory control in patients with AIS presenting with chronic back pain.STUDY DESIGN
Cross-sectional study.PATIENT SAMPLE
Ninety-four patients diagnosed with AIS and chronic back pain.OUTCOME MEASURES
Quantitative sensory testing (QST) assessed pain modulation and self-reported questionnaires were used to assess pain burden and health-related quality of life.METHODS
Patients underwent a detailed pain assessment using a standard and validated quantitative sensory testing (QST) protocol. The measurements included mechanical detection thresholds (MDT), pain pressure threshold (PPT), heat pain threshold (HPT), heat tolerance threshold (HTT), and a conditioned pain modulation (CPM) paradigm. Altogether, these tests measured changes in regulation of the neurophysiology underlying the nociceptive processes based on the patient's pain perception. Funding was provided by The Louise and Alan Edwards Foundation and The Shriners Hospitals for Children.RESULTS
Efficient pain inhibitory response was observed in 51.1% of patients, while 21.3% and 27.7% had sub-optimal and inefficient CPM, respectively. Temporal summation of pain was observed in 11.7% of patients. Significant correlations were observed between deformity severity and pain pressure thresholds (p=.023) and CPM (p=.017), neuropathic pain scores and pain pressure thresholds (p=.015) and temporal summation of pain (p=.047), and heat temperature threshold and pain intensity (p=.048).CONCLUSIONS
Chronic back pain has an impact in the quality of life of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. We demonstrated a high prevalence of impaired pain modulation in this group. The association between deformity severity and somatosensory dysfunction may suggest that spinal deformity can be a trigger for abnormal neuroplastic changes in this population contributing to chronic pain syndrome. 相似文献19.

Background
Bariatric surgery is an effective and durable treatment for obesity. However, the number of patients that progress to bariatric surgery after initial evaluation remains low.Objectives
The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing a qualified patient's successful progression to surgery in a U.S. metropolitan area.Setting
Academic, university hospital.Methods
A single-institution retrospective chart review was performed from 2003 to 2016. Patient demographics and follow-up data were compared between those who did and did not progress to surgery. A follow-up telephone survey was performed for patients who failed to progress. Univariate analyses were performed and statistically significant variables of interest were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model.Results
A total of 1102 patients were identified as eligible bariatric surgery candidates. Four hundred ninety-eight (45%) patients progressed to surgery and 604 (55%) did not. Multivariable analysis showed that patients who did not progress were more likely male (odds ratio [OR] 2.2 confidence interval [CI]: 1.2–4.2, P < .05), smokers (OR 2.4 CI: 1.1–5.4, P < .05), attended more nutrition appointments (OR 2.1 CI: 1.5–2.8, P < .0001), attended less total preoperative appointments (OR .41 CI: .31–.55, P < .0001), and resided in-state compared with out of state (OR .39 CI: .22–.68, P < .05). The top 3 patient self-reported factors influencing nonprogression were fear of complication, financial hardship, and insurance coverage.Conclusions
Multiple patient factors and the self-reported factors of fear of complication and financial hardship influenced progression to bariatric surgery in a U.S. metropolitan population. Bariatric surgeons and centers should consider and address these factors when assessing patients. 相似文献20.
