Abstract
Background
Long-term weight loss and weight regain are markers of success following bariatric surgery. The aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences amongst various ethnic and social deprivation groups in terms of weight loss following Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) at 24 months post-surgery.
Method
Data from a single high-volume UK Bariatric centre (Luton & Dunstable Hospital) were analysed. Relevant variables such as patient demographics, weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) at surgery, were included. Failure to lose sufficient weight was defined as failure to lose ³20% TBWL at 24 months post-surgery.
Results
A total of 1,427 patients underwent RYGB during this time, of whom 80.2% were female. The median age was 48 years old (IQR: 39-55) and the median BMI was 44.7Kg/m2 (IQR: 40.6-50.1). At 24 months post-surgery, 39.3% of patients had failed to lose 20% TBWL. Multivariable analyses demonstrated that the most socially deprived patients were less likely to achieve a TBWL of ³20% at 24 months post-surgery (OR: 0.71 95% CI: 0.56-0.89, p=0.023) as were those from Black (OR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.50-0.83, p=0.019) and Asian backgrounds (OR: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.61-0.88, p=0.013) compared to patients from a White background.
Conclusion
Ethnicity and social deprivation serve as key indicators of predicting weight loss at 24 months following bariatric surgery. These findings suggest the possible need for tailored care and treatment strategies to optimise long-term outcomes for diverse populations. Understanding these differences is crucial for developing personalized treatment plans and improving the efficacy of bariatric surgery across various ethnic groups. Future research should focus on identifying the underlying causes of these disparities and evaluating interventions to mitigate them.
