Effects of Metabolic Bariatric Surgery on Weight Loss and Diabetes Remission Over 10 Years: A Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
摘要
The long-term effects of metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) on weight loss and diabetes remission over 10 years remain incompletely characterized. This network meta-analysis aimed to compare the outcomes of various types of MBS with those of medical therapy.
MethodsPubMed and EMBASE were searched from inception to September 30, 2025, for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) with ≥ 10 years of follow-up comparing MBS and medical therapy in adults with obesity or type 2 diabetes. A random-effects model was applied.
ResultsTen RCTs including 1004 participants were analyzed. Procedures assessed included Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS), and adjustable gastric banding (AGB). All procedures except AGB resulted in significantly greater percentage total weight loss than medical therapy, ranging from SG (mean difference [MD] = 17.73%; 95% CI, 6.96–28.50) to RYGB (MD = 20.18%; 95% CI, 11.18–29.18) and BPD/DS (MD = 28.87%; 95% CI, 19.80-37.93). A similar gradient (medical therapy < AGB < SG < RYGB < BPD/DS) was observed for reductions in body weight and BMI. Although only BPD/DS (odds ratio = 24.91; 95% CI, 1.19–519.94) achieved a statistically significant advantage over medical therapy in diabetes remission, other procedures also demonstrated a potential benefit.
ConclusionsOver 10 years of follow-up, most MBS procedures were associated with greater weight loss than medical therapy, while only BPD/DS achieved a statistically significant improvement in diabetes remission.
