Synopsis Numerous cardiovascular disease risk factors (CVD-RFs) are harboured in severely obese adolescents which can improve after metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). The present study highlights the report on the predictors of change of CVD-RFs among obese adolescents undergoing MBS. This week’s “ MED FACT ” discusses a clinical trial from Pediatrics, “Cardiovascular Risks after MBS Surgery on Obese Adolescents”. Authors : Marc P. Michalsky, Thomas H. Inge, Todd M. Jenkins, Changchun Xie, Anita Courcoulas, Michael Helmrath, Mary L.
Brandt, Carroll M. Harmon, Mike Chen, John B. Dixon, Elaine M. Urbina. Key Takeaways : Important insight through adolescent MBS into the previously unknown predictors of change in CVD-RFs, which may promote future refinements in patient selection and optimization of surgery timing. Objective: Analyzing adolescent MBS outcome for evaluating predictors of…
