Effects of OAGB and DJB-SG on 10-year and Lifetime Risks of MACE

Metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) offers enduring weight reduction and alleviation of obesity-related comorbidities, including dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypertension (HTN), and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Long-term data on one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) and duodenal-jejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (DJB-SG) is lacking, necessitating this investigation. In this multicenter prospectively-collected retrospective observational study, patients with complete follow-up data at various intervals up to 3 years after surgery were included in the final analysis. The study's primary focus was to evaluate the long-term safety, efficacy, and durability of OAGB and DJB-SG in promoting weight loss and T2D remission. Additionally, changes in 10-year and lifetime risks of MACE before and 3-year after surgery were assessed using the Taiwan MACE risk prediction model and the China-PAR project model based on Taiwan national electronic health records and a large Chinese participant dataset, respectively.

Hypothesis: This study contributes to providing valuable information in terms of the impacts of OAGB and DJB-SG on patients with obesity and associated diseases.
