Quality of Life After Bariatric Surgery-a Systematic Review with Bayesian Network Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Comprehensive analysis and comparison of HRQoL following different bariatric interventions through systematic review with network meta-analysis.

Background

Different types of bariatric surgeries have been developed throughout the years. Apart from weight loss and comorbidities remission, improvement of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is an important outcome of metabolic surgery.

Methods

MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Scopus databases have been searched up to April 2020. Inclusion criteria to the analysis were (1) study with at least 2 arms comparing bariatric surgeries; (2) reporting of HRQoL with a validated tool; (3) follow-up period of 1, 2, 3, or 5 years. Network meta-analysis was conducted using Bayesian statistics. The primary outcome was HRQoL.
