Author n (b) n (f) Age (years) Operation BMI (b) Follow-up Outcome Comments
Messiah et al. (38) 65 18.5 (11–19)* AGB 46 kg/m2* 1 year 59% improvement Diabetes outcomes reported as part of larger AGB series (n = 436). Data from 65% of all AGB patients in the larger series were missing at 1 year. Specific loss to follow-up and definitions for change in diabetes status (or improvement) was not provided.
Messiah et al. (38) 67 18.5 (11–19)* RYGB 51 kg/m2* 1 year 79% improvement Diabetes outcomes reported as part of larger RYGB series (n = 454). Data from 76% of all RYGB patients in the larger series were missing at 1 year. Specific loss to follow-up and definitions for change in diabetes status (or improvement) was not provided.
Inge et al. (43) 11 9 17.8 (14–21) RYGB 50 kg/m2 1 year 88% remission Analysis contains only those with diabetes. BMI decreased by 33% over 1 year. Remission defined as HbA1c <6.5% (or FBG <126 mg/dL) and off of diabetes medications. Nine of 11 patients had sufficient biochemical and medication use data at 1 year to score remission.
Inge et al. (2) 23 18 17 (13–19)* RYGB 54 kg/m2* 3 years 94% remission Diabetes outcomes reported as part of larger series. Remission defined as HbA1c <6.5% (or FBG <126 mg/dL) and off of medications.
Inge et al. (2) 6 2 17 (13–19)* VSG 50 kg/m2* 3 years 68% remission Diabetes outcomes reported as part of larger series. Remission defined as HbA1c <6.5% (or FBG <126 mg/dL) and off of medications.
Alqahtani et al. (39) 52 52 14.4 (4.9–21)* VSG 48 kg/m2* 3 years 89% remission Diabetes outcomes reported as part of larger series. Remission defined as HbA1c <6.5% (or FBG <126 mg/dL) and off of medications.
Alqahtani et al. (37) 11 11 11.2 VSG 45 kg/m2 5 years 100% remission Diabetes outcomes reported as part of larger series. Remission defined as HbA1c <6.5% (or FBG <126 mg/dL) and off of medications.

AGB, adjustable gastric band; BMI (b), BMI at baseline; FBG, fasting blood glucose; n (b), number in sample at baseline; n (f), number in sample at final time point; RYGB, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass; VSG, vertical sleeve gastrectomy.

Data derived from the larger series in the analysis and is not specific to the diabetes subpopulation.

Remission data were modeled, taking into account the influence of missing data.
