Meta AnalysisPredictors of glycemic control after sleeve gastrectomy versus Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: A meta-analysis, meta-regression, and systematic review.
Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are the most commonly performed bariatric procedures globally. However, it remains controversial which procedure provides better glycemic control. To identify predictors of glycemic control after SG versus RYGB, a systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library was conducted up to January 2017 for comparative studies with both SG and RYGB arms for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). ⋯ The baseline body mass index, duration of T2D, preoperative fasting plasma glucose, and preoperative A1C had predictive value for glycemic control after SG, but only duration of T2D and preoperative A1C were correlated with that after RYGB. These findings showed that the choice of procedure between SG and RYGB predicts no better glycemic control. However, more factors should be considered when SG is recommended to a given patient with diabetes.
