Patient-reported outcomes in bariatric surgery: a systematic review of standards of reporting

摘要: Summary Bariatric surgery is increasingly being used to treat severe obesity, but little known about its impact on patient-reported outcomes (PROs). For PRO data influence practice, well-designed and reported studies are required. A systematic review identified prospective bariatric that validated measures. Risk of bias in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was assessed, papers were examined for reporting (i) who completed measures; (ii) missing (iii) clinical interpretation data. Studies meeting all criteria classified as robust. Eighty-six identified. Of the eight RCTs, risk high one unclear seven. Sixty-eight different measures identified, with Short Form (SF)-36 questionnaire most commonly used. Forty-one (48%) explicitly stated by patients, 63 (73%) documented 50 (58%) interpreted clinically. Twenty-six (30%) met criteria. Although many assess PROs, study design often poor, limiting synthesis. Well-designed include agreed needed integration inform practice.
