Abstract Details

2015, PhD, University of Cincinnati, Medicine: Biostatistics (Environmental Health).
Bariatric surgery has been shown to be an effective treatment option for severely obese individuals; however, there is no consensus regarding the best outcome measure to assess weight loss in these subjects. This study used patient’s weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, waist circumference, and sagittal abdominal diameter to determine weight loss outcome measures involving: the loss from baseline of the metric, the percent loss from baseline of the metric, and the percent excess BMI loss. This analysis examined the Teen-Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (Teen-LABS) cohort which is a prospective observational study of adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery. The cohort consisted of adolescents (age 13-19 years) undergoing bariatric surgery at 5 US centers and involved standardized methods for collecting clinical and laboratory data. The subjects were assessed preoperatively, at 6 and 12 month’s post-surgery, and annually thereafter.
