Comparative efficacy of bariatric surgery for type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract

Background: The comparative efficacy of bariatric surgical procedures for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has not been completely elucidated. To investigate this question, we conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis. Methods: The protocol followed preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis protocols (PRISMA-P) checklist. Two review authors will independently search the PubMed, Embase (Ovid), and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases. The primary outcome is T2DM remission. The secondary outcomes include BMI, HbA1c (%), and percentage excess weight loss (% EWL). Results from the network meta-analysis will be presented as summary relative effect sizes (WMD or RR) and relative 95% CIs for each possible pair of treatments. Outcomes will be combined based on different periods of follow-up (12 months, 36 months, and 60 months). Results: The results will provide useful information about the efficacy of bariatric surgical procedures in patients with T2DM. Conclusion: The findings of the study will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journal. INPLASY registration number: INPLASY202050053.

Cirugía Bariátrica y Tratamiento Médico Integrado: Estrategias para la Gestión Sostenible de la Obesidad y sus Comorbilidades

“…La búsqueda de biomarcadores predictivos para evaluar la respuesta individual a tratamientos específicos representa una línea de investigación en crecimiento. Estudios como el de Wang et al (2022) han explorado perfiles metabólicos y moleculares asociados con la respuesta a tratamientos farmacológicos en la obesidad. Futuras investigaciones podrían ampliar estas exploraciones para mejorar la precisión en la predicción de resultados y la personalización de estrategias terapéuticas.…”
