Key result
Diabetes (OR 3.09; 95% CI 1.35-7.09) and larger pouch size (OR 2.77; 95% CI 1.81-4.22) were independently associated with poor weight loss 12 months after gastric bypass.

Diabetes and larger gastric pouch size are independent predictors of poor weight loss 12 months after gastric bypass surgery.
Guilherme M. Campos (2008) conducted a cohort in Morbid obesity (n=361). Diabetes and larger pouch size vs. Absence of diabetes and smaller pouch size was evaluated on Poor weight loss at 12 months (≤40% excess weight loss) (OR 3.09, 95% CI 1.35-7.09, p=0.007). Diabetes (OR 3.09; 95% CI 1.35-7.09) and larger pouch size (OR 2.77; 95% CI 1.81-4.22) were independently associated with poor weight loss 12 months after gastric bypass.
