“…Bariatric surgery provides the most long-lasting results for those individuals in whom clinical strategies fail (9). Several parameters have been proposed to assess the outcomes of bariatric surgery (9,10). Surgeons have used the amount of weight loss as the main post-operative outcome, although the improvement of the multiple obesity-associated medical conditions should be considered, including physical and psychological parameters (11).…”

“…The Medical Outcome Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) was designed for clinical practice and research (14), and validated in several populations (15)(16)(17). In studies conducted in the US, the SF-36 was used as the gold standard for QoL assessment (10). The same instrument employed in studies of individuals undergoing bariatric surgery (18,19) was considered a useful tool for population-based surveys and for the evaluation of health policies.…”

Objectives: To assess QoL of obese patients in the Brazilian public healthcare system, before and after bariatric surgery, and to determine the appropriateness of the Moorehead-Ardelt Questionnaire II (M-A-QoLQII) compared with the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Subjects and methods: Forty-one severe obese patients in a waiting-list, and 84 patients who underwent bariatric surgery were included. Correlations were tested and reliability determined by the Cronbach's coefficient. Results: BMI differed between the pre-and post-surgery groups (52.3 ± 8.3 kg/m 2 vs. 32.5 ± 6.4 kg/m 2 , p < 0.001). The latter showed better scores in the SF-36 domains than in the pre-surgery. SF-36 and M-A-QoLQII categories were correlated (r = 0.53, 0.49 and 0.47, for vitality, mental health, and general health domains, p < 0.001). In the logistic regression, age, previous BMI, and loss of excess weight were associated with functional capacity. Conclusions: The outcomes of bariatric surgery obtained in a Brazilian public healthcare center were successful. M-A-QoLII represents a useful tool to assess surgery outcomes, including QoL.

Sujeitos e métodos: Quarenta e um pacientes obesos graves em lista de espera e 84 submetidos à cirurgia bariátrica foram incluídos. Correlações foram testadas e confiabilidade determinada pelo coeficiente de Cronbach. Resultados: O IMC diferiu entre os grupos pré-e pós-cirurgia (52,3 ± 8,3 kg/m 2 vs. 32,5 ± 6,4 kg/m 2 , p < 0,001). O último apresentou melhores escores nos domínios do SF-36 que o pré-cirurgia. As categorias do SF-36 e M-A-QoLQII se correlacionaram (r = 0,53; 0,49; 0,47 para vitalidade, saúde mental e saúde geral, p 0,001). Na regressão logística, idade, IMC prévio e excesso de peso perdido associaram-se independentemente à capacidade funcional. Conclusões: Resultados da cirurgia bariátrica em centro de saúde público brasileiro foram promissores. O M-A-QoLQII representa ferramenta útil para avaliar seus resultados, inclusive a QV.

“…Ren et al (49) reported weight loss comparable with gastric bypass and acceptably low complications. Data also show marked improvement in comorbidities (49,50) and quality-of-life measures (49,51). The most significant late complications (i.e., gastric pouch dilation and gastric prolapse) have been greatly reduced by use of the pars flaccida technique (52)(53)(54)(55)(56).…”

Best Practice Recommendations for Surgical Care in Weight Loss Surgery

Research Methods and Procedures:We carried out a systematic search of English-language literature on WLS in MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library. Key words were used to narrow the field for a selective review of abstracts. Data extraction was performed, and evidence categories were assigned according to a grading system based on established evidence-based models. Results: We assessed types of WLS, recommended guidelines for appropriateness, developed strategies for medical error reduction, established criteria for credentialing of systems and practitioners, and specified research needed for the future. Discussion: Surgeon training, credentialing, and type of surgery performed were identified as key factors in patient safety. Other important issues in the delivery of best practice care included appropriate patient selection; use of a multidisciplinary treatment team; facility staffing, equipment, and administrative support; and early recognition and proper management of complications.
