Obesity, race/ethnicity, and other correlated characteristics have emerged as high-profile risk factors for adverse coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)–associated outcomes, yet studies not adequately disentangled their effects.
Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with larger body or fat mass have greater survival than normal to low mass. We hypothesized that mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC), a conveniently measured surrogate of lean (LBM), has stronger association clinical outcomes triceps skinfold (TSF), mass.The associations TSF, MAMC, and serum creatinine, another LBM surrogate, baseline short form 36 quality-of-life scores 5-year were examined in 792 MHD patients. In randomly selected subsample 118...
Background: There has been a dramatic shift in use of bariatric procedures, but little is known about their long-term comparative effectiveness. Objective: To compare weight loss and safety among procedures. Design: Retrospective observational cohort study, January 2005 to September 2015. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02741674) Setting: 41 health systems the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network. Participants: 65 093 patients aged 20 79 years with body mass index (BMI) 35 kg/m2 or...
OBJECTIVE There are few studies testing the amount of weight loss necessary to achieve initial remission type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) following bariatric surgery and no published with use predict T2DM in sleeve gastrectomy (SG) patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS With Cox proportional hazards models we examined relationship between percent total (%TWL) after surgery. Categories %TWL were included model as time-varying covariates. RESULTS Of patients (N = 5,928), 73% female; mean age was...
Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for severe obesity; yet it unclear whether long-term safety and comparative effectiveness of these operations differ across racial ethnic groups.To compare outcomes Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) sleeve gastrectomy (SG) groups in National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network (PCORnet) Study.This was a retrospective, observational, cohort study that comprised 25 health care systems PCORnet Study. Patients were adults adolescents aged 12...

Importance The comparative effectiveness of the most common operations in long-term management dyslipidemia is not clear. Objective To compare 4-year outcomes associated with vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) vs Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) for remission and relapse dyslipidemia. Design, Setting, Participants This retrospective study was conducted from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2016, follow-up until 2018. included patients at time surgery who underwent VSG (4142 patients) or RYGB...
Abstract Objective This study examined the association between individual‐ and neighborhood‐level sociodemographic factors surgical weight loss at 1 year (short term) 3 years (long term). Methods Data were obtained from baseline survey of BELONG (Bariatric Experience Long Term) prospective longitudinal cohort study. Individual‐level self‐reported data on sex, race ethnicity, education, household income by survey. 2010 US Census used to calculate area Neighborhood Deprivation Index score...
Background Over the past two decades, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has significantly increased approval of anti-obesity medications (AOMs) for obesity management. Both FDA-approved AOMs (F-AOMs) off-label (O-AOMs) have gained popularity demonstrated promising results in randomized clinical trials (RCTs). However, their effectiveness real-world settings remains less understood. In this study, we evaluated population-level responses to individual variability under conditions, leveraging...
When compared with conventional weight loss strategies, bariatric surgery results in substantially greater durable and rates of disease remission.The ENGAGE CVD (Effectiveness Gastric Bypass versus Sleeve for Cardiovascular Disease) cohort study aimed to provide population-based, comprehensive, rigorous evidence clinical policy decision making regarding the choice between gastric bypass sleeve overall cardiovascular (CVD) risk reduction, factor remission, safety.The had 22,095 patients from...

Purpose The Bariatric Experience Long Term (BELONG) prospective study cohort was created to address limitations in the literature regarding relationship between surgical weight loss and psychosocial, health, behaviour environmental factors. BELONG is unique because it contains 70% gastric sleeve 64% patients with non-white race/ethnicity developed strong stakeholder engagement including providers. Participants included 1975 preparing have bariatric surgery who completed a baseline survey...
