Does bariatric surgery improve cardiometabolic risk factors in adult outpatients?
Bariatric surgery effectively reduces and resolves cardiometabolic risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia within 12 months in an outpatient setting.
May support outpatient cardiometabolic benefits; leaves open causality and generalizability pending RCTs.
BACKGROUND: The conventional treatment of obesity presents unsatisfactory results on weight loss and its long-term sustainability, therefore bariatric surgery has been suggested as an effective therapy, determining sustainable long-term weight loss, reversal of components of cardiometabolic risk and improved quality and life expectancy. AIM: To investigate the clinical component of the cardiometabolic risk in patients undergoing bariatric surgery assisted on outpatient basis. Methods : The sample consisted of 47 patients with ages between 18 and 60 years, 72% females. Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia were prospectively evaluated by using the Assessment of Obesity-Related Co-morbidities scale. RESULTS: Occurred improvement in these co-morbidities within 12 months after surgery. Co-morbidities resolved were greater than those improved. CONCLUSION: The study revealed that the Assessment of Obesity-Related Co-morbidities is a system that can be effectively used to quantify the degree of reduction of the severity of the cardiometabolic risk in response to bariatric surgery.

SILVA-NETO et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Obesity with cardiometabolic risk (n=47). Bariatric surgery was evaluated on Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia evaluated by the Assessment of Obesity-Related Co-morbidities scale. In a cohort of 47 patients, bariatric surgery improved or resolved diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia within 12 months post-surgery.
