About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Bariatric Surgery for Korean Morbidly Obese Patients : Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study

This trial is a multi-center, single-arm, prospective, observational cohort study of patients undergoing primary bariatric surgical procedures in Korea. A total of 100 patients will be recruited over a 1-year period from 2016 to 2017, and will be followed for a mean follow-up period of 1 year after surgery. The eligible subjects who have given their consent to participate will undergo one of two surgical procedures; sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en Y gastric bypass.

The primary objective of this clinical trial is to measure the changes in body weight (kg) and waist circumference (cm) of the enrolled patients at postoperative 1 year. Secondary outcomes are improvement or remission rates of obesity-related co-morbidity (hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and sleep apnea), and the change in quality of life. Additionally, postoperative incidences of morbidity and mortality, micronutrient status, body composition, and cost-effectiveness of surgical intervention will be examined.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
bariatric surgeryExperimentalThis trial is a single-arm study and the enrolled patients are going to undergo sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). If the patient has Barrett's esophagus on the preoperative endoscopy, SG is not permitted. Inflammatory bowel disease and Helicobacter pylori infection on a rapid urease test are contraindications of RYGB.
Receives: Other: Sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. body weight (cm) change

    Measured: postoperative 1-year

  2. waist circumference (cm) change

    Measured: postoperative 1-year

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. remission rates of obesity-related co-morbidity (hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and sleep apnea)

    Measured: postoperative 1-year

  2. Quality of life change

    EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D), the impact of weight on QoL (IWQOL) and the obesity-related psychosocial problem scale (OP-scale) are used to assess the improvement of QoL

    Measured: postoperative 1-year

  3. Morbidity

    Measured: postoperative 1-year

  4. Mortality

    Measured: postoperative 1-month

  5. Micronutrients' deficiency

    iron, ferritin, calcium, phosphate, albumin, vit.B12, vit.D, and parathyroid hormone

    Measured: postoperative 1-year

  6. body composition change

    bioelectrical impedance analysis and fat measurement CT

    Measured: postoperative 1-year

  7. cost-effectiveness

    cost-utility analysis using lifetime expected costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs)

    Measured: postoperative 1-year
