Objective:

To determine the prevalence of durable remission and relapse of T2DM rates 10 years after MBS, characterize the glycemic profile of patients post-surgery, and identify factors predicting persistent remission, specifically clarifying what 'durable remission' entails.

Key Findings:
  • A significant proportion of patients sustained diabetes remission for at least 10 years post-MBS, with specific rates to be included.
  • Younger age, shorter duration of diabetes, and absence of insulin therapy were predictors of remission.
  • Lower preoperative fasting glucose and HbA1c levels were associated with higher remission rates.
Interpretation:

The study supports the long-term effectiveness of MBS in achieving diabetes remission, highlighting the importance of preoperative factors in predicting outcomes and their implications for clinical practice.

Limitations:
  • The study's retrospective design may introduce bias, particularly in patient selection and data reporting.
  • Exclusion of certain patient groups may limit generalizability.
Conclusion:

Bariatric surgery is an effective long-term intervention for diabetes remission in obese patients, with specific preoperative factors influencing outcomes, emphasizing the need for careful patient selection.
