Post-implant Analysis of Epidemiologic and Eating Behavior Data Related to Weight Loss Effectiveness in Obese Patients Treated with Gastric Electrical Stimulation

Objective To determine possible preoperative predictors for obtaining clinically meaningful weight loss with gastric electrical stimulation (GES) using the “Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire” (TFEQ) as well as epidemiological data. Methods Ninety-seven obese participants in a prospective multicenter...

Description
Summary:Objective To determine possible preoperative predictors for obtaining clinically meaningful weight loss with gastric electrical stimulation (GES) using the “Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire” (TFEQ) as well as epidemiological data. Methods Ninety-seven obese participants in a prospective multicenter randomized study conducted in nine European centers were implanted laparoscopically with the abiliti® closed-loop GES system (CLGES). Five clinical variables and three preoperative TFEQ factor scores (F1—cognitive-restraint, F2—disinhibition, and F3—hunger) were analyzed in order to determine predictors of weight loss success defined as excess weight loss (EWL) > 30% and failure defined as EWL
