To assess patients' awareness of the indications and complications of sleeve gastrectomy in King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The cross-sectional study conducted from December 2017 to May 2018 in KKUH, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia included all patients aged 18 years and older. Data collection was conducted through self-administered questionnaires. Chi-square test was performed to determine the significant differences between variables. A value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Of 480 participants, 247 (51.5%) of them were male. The educational level of most was bachelor's degree (253; 52.7%). Most of the participants (326; 67.9%) are not aware about BMI. However, 80 (16.7%) participants knew the true answer to obese BMI. Of the total participants, 283 (59.0%) did not knew about sleeve gastrectomy indications; however, 311 (64.8%) of the participants had heard about the complications of sleeve gastrectomy.

2017年12月至2018年5月在沙特阿拉伯利雅得哈立德国王大学医院进行的横断面研究纳入了所有18岁及以上的患者。通过自填问卷收集数据。采用卡方检验确定变量之间的显著差异。P值<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
在480名参与者中,247名(51.5%)为男性。大多数人的教育水平为学士学位(253人;52.7%)。大多数参与者(326人;67.9%)不了解体重指数(BMI)。然而,80名(16.7%)参与者知道肥胖BMI的正确答案。在所有参与者中,283名(59.0%)不知道袖状胃切除术的适应症;然而,311名(64.8%)参与者听说过袖状胃切除术的并发症。所有这些结果都与参与者的教育水平相关。
我们的研究表明,研究人群对袖状胃切除术的适应症和并发症缺乏认识。我们需要通过在社区中进行适当的科学健康教育来提高公众对袖状胃切除术适应症和并发症的认识。
