To investigate weight loss outcomes of semaglutide in a real-world setting, specifically in patients who have undergone metabolic/bariatric surgery (MBS).
Despite excellent weight loss for semaglutide in clinical trials, actual results may be limited due to factors such as costs, drug availability, insurance coverage, and adverse events.
A retrospective series of patients with obesity prescribed semaglutide at a large multidisciplinary weight management center in a tertiary academic institution. Primary endpoints were compliance and percentage total weight loss (%TWL) within 1 year of semaglutide prescription, with further evaluation of weight loss in those with previous history of MBS.
The average [SD] %TWL at 1 year among all patients prescribed semaglutide was 8.8% [10.5]. Of 1,072 patients prescribed semaglutide, 199/1072 (18.6%) did not start semaglutide mainly due to access issues, and 268/1072 (25%) discontinued it within 1 year primarily due to patient factors and side effects. Among patients who completed 1 year of treatment, %TWL was 10.9% [9.8]. In those with history of MBS, %TWL was higher in patients who underwent Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), but not sleeve gastrectomy, compared to no MBS history (13.6% [10.3] vs. 10.1% [9.6]; P=0.022). Furthermore, %TWL with semaglutide was less in those with BMI>40, than those with BMI<40.
1-year semaglutide compliance is low at 56.4%. 1-year TWL for all patients prescribed semaglutide was 8.8%, and 10.9% for those who took semaglutide for 1 complete year. Patients who underwent RYGB tended to lose more weight with semaglutide than naïve MBS patients.
在真实世界环境中,特别是在接受代谢/减重手术(MBS)的患者中,研究司美格鲁肽的减重效果。
尽管司美格鲁肽在临床试验中减重效果良好,但由于成本、药物可及性、保险覆盖范围和不良事件等因素,实际结果可能有限。
在一所三级学术机构的大型多学科体重管理中心,对一系列接受司美格鲁肽治疗的肥胖患者进行回顾性研究。主要终点是司美格鲁肽处方后1年内的依从性和总体重减轻百分比(%TWL),并对既往有MBS病史的患者的体重减轻情况进行进一步评估。
所有接受司美格鲁肽治疗的患者在1年时的平均[标准差]%TWL为8.8%[10.5]。在1072例接受司美格鲁肽治疗的患者中,199/1072(18.6%)主要由于获取问题未开始使用司美格鲁肽,268/1072(25%)在1年内停药,主要原因是患者因素和副作用。在完成1年治疗的患者中,%TWL为10.9%[9.8]。与无MBS病史的患者相比,有MBS病史的患者中,接受Roux-en-Y胃旁路术(RYGB)而非袖状胃切除术的患者%TWL更高(13.6%[10.3]对10.1%[9.6];P=0.022)。此外,BMI>40的患者使用司美格鲁肽后的%TWL低于BMI<40的患者。
司美格鲁肽1年的依从性较低,为56.4%。所有接受司美格鲁肽治疗的患者1年的TWL为8.8%,服用司美格鲁肽满1年的患者为10.9%。接受RYGB手术的患者使用司美格鲁肽后往往比未接受MBS手术的患者减重更多。
