obese, adult (age ≥18 years old) patients NOTE: note.text is used artificially to support the EBMonFHIR Implementation Guide and the following content would more properly be found in a note.text element: Studies were considered eligible if they were designed to study outcomes in obese patients who underwent a weight-loss surgical intervention in comparison with an age, sex, and BMI matched control group who did not undergo a weight-loss surgical intervention. We searched for randomized controlled trials, prospective or retrospective longitudinal cohort studies, and case–control studies. For the control group, all non-surgical treatment options for obesity (e.g. intensive lifestyle intervention, standard of care, or no specific therapy) were accepted. Studies were excluded if (i) patients were not matched for age, sex, and BMI; (ii) the presence of one or more outcome parameters of interest (e.g. HF, AF, coronary artery disease) was required for inclusion; or (iii) if study groups were not representative in relation to the general population of patients with obesity (e.g. patients could only be included in the presence of a specific comorbidity, for instance, end-stage renal disease). The third criterium did not apply to Type 2 diabetes, thus studies that only included patients with Type 2 diabetes could be eligible for inclusion.

All-cause mortality NOTE: note.text is used artificially to support the EBMonFHIR Implementation Guide and the following content would more properly be found in a note.text element: The observed element can reference an EvidenceVariable Resource that defines the outcome measured through structured characteristics. For example, “Mean difference in HbA1c at 12 months” or “Mean difference in HbA1c at end of study”. The structured characteristics can be references to the Evidence instances for each of the included studies, in which case this is a direct link to the dataset used for analysis. The intended element can reference an EvidenceVariable Resource that expresses the outcome intended for evidence application through structured characteristics. The structured characteristics could be used to express the SR eligibility criteria for study outcomes (as a subset of eligibility criteria for studies).

modelCharacteristic

code: Hazard ratios were log transformed, and the CI was converted to standard error = (upper limit − lower limit)/3.92 for 95% CI. In random effect models (DerSimonian and Laird), we analysed adjusted HR to generate pooled HRs for the association between bariatric surgery for outcome in comparison with controls. The pooled HRs were calculated using inverse-variance weighted averaging and were depicted in forest plots.
