One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes: Long-Term Results and Recurrence

alkiviadis.1961 shared this article with you from Inoreader One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes: Long-Term Results and Recurrence Via Latest Results for Obesity Surgery Abstract Background Bariatric/metabolic surgery has been incorporated into the therapeutic treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Among many bariatric/metabolic procedures, one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is one of the most effective procedures but long-term data about T2DM recurrence after OAGB are lacking. Methods Outcomes of 134 patients who had undergone OAGB for the treatment of T2DM with long-term (5 years) follow-up were assessed in a retrospective cohort study. The remission of T2DM after OAGB surgery was evaluated in different groups using a scoring system composed of the age, BMI, C-peptide level, duration of T2DM (ABCD score), and percent of total weight loss (%TWL). Results The %TWL and percent of excess weight loss (%EWL) of the OAGB patients at 5 years after surgery were 29.2 (10.6) and 72.1(27.5), respectively. The mean BMI decreased from 39.5(7.9) to 27.6(5.3) kg/m2 and mean glycated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) decreased from 8.9 to 5.9% in OAGB patients at 5 years after OAGB. The complete T2DM remission rate of OAGB was 76.1% at 1 year and 64.2% at 5 years after surgery. Forty-one (57.8%) out of 71 patients who completed a 10-year follow-up remained in complete T2DM remission. The T2DM recurrence rate of OAGB patients was 15.7% at 5 years after surgery. Conclusions OAGB is highly effective in inducing T2DM remission but a significant number of patients will still have T2DM recurrence. To select patient with an ABCD score > 5 and maintaining a weight loss greater than 30% is important for durable T2DM remission after OAGB. View on the web Inoreader.
