Psychopathology predicts mental but not physical bariatric surgery outcome at 3-year follow-up: a network analysis study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to explore the psychopathological variables that may predict bariatric surgery outcomes after 3 years.

Methods

One hundred ninety-six candidates for bariatric surgery completed self-report questionnaires to assess eating attitudes, eating disorder (ED)-related psychopathology, affective symptoms, interpersonal and psycho-social functioning. One-hundred patients repeated this assessment 3 years after bariatric surgery. A network analysis was run including the pre-surgical measurements in the network. A composite score derived from the combination of the most central network nodes, as well as clinical and socio-demographical variables, was included in a multivariate regression analysis with weight loss, ED psychopathology and psycho-social functioning
