About this study

The increasing prevalence of obesity noticed in recent decades is a major public health problem of pandemic nature. According to researches, there will be 2.3 billion overweight adults and more than 700 million people suffering from obesity worldwide by the year 2020.Series of epidemiologic studies has revealed a relative link between morbid obesity and metabolic syndrome type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance and shorter life span. Dyslipidemia specially when combined with obesity significantly increase the incidence of atherosclerosis and its complications and also insulin resistance and hence control of diabetic patients. Hyperlipidemia is widely recognized as one of the main co- morbidities in severe obesity and major risk factor for development of atherosclerosis and then heart related diseases.Bariatric surgery has become a prominent treatment modality after the rapidly increasing prevalence of obesity.

The increasing prevalence of obesity noticed in recent decades is a major public health problem of pandemic nature. According to researches, there will be 2.3 billion overweight adults and more than 700 million people suffering from obesity worldwide by the year 2020.Series of epidemiologic studies has revealed a relative link between morbid obesity and metabolic syndrome type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance and shorter life span. Dyslipidemia specially when combined with obesity significantly increase the incidence of atherosclerosis and its complications and also insulin resistance and hence control of diabetic patients. Hyperlipidemia is widely recognized as one of the main co- morbidities in severe obesity and major risk factor for development of atherosclerosis and then heart related diseases[5-6].Bariatric surgery has become a prominent treatment modality after the rapidly increasing prevalence of obesity.

Surgical treatment of higher obesity levels is the most effective procedure due to its simple technique and lower complications with the best outcomes in a long-term perspective. Dramatic weight loss leads to improvement of associated co-morbidities as well. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy leads to long-term weight and improvement or resolution of hypertension, diabetes mellitus type2 and hyperlipidemia.

Studies reported resolution of hypertension in 58% and resolution or improvement of hypertension in 75% of patients following sleeve gastrectomy , resolution of type 2 diabetes mellitus in 84 % of patients as well.

Omana et al. found a greater resolution or improvement of hyperlipidemia with LSG. Hyperlipidemia improved in 87% of patients after LSG.

According to a previous series of studies done before ( 26 studies ) , 11 reported both resolution and improvement of dyslipidemia after LSG and 83.5% of the patients had experienced resolution or improvement of dyslipidemia. Another 7 studies reported only hyperlipidemia resolution and 54% of patients had complete resolution of hyperlipidemia. One study reported improvement of hyperlipidemia in 42% of the patients.

Five studies compared the lipid profile results pre and post-surgery. Only three studies showed minimal changes between pre and post operative cholesterol and LDL levels. However, the same three studies reported significant changes in triglyceride level and HDL level post LSG

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT03126240
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
sleeve GastrectomyThis is a five-trocar technique. The abdominal cavity is accessed through a 1cm supraumbilical incision using an optical trocar. The operating ports are inserted under direct vision. The gastroesophageal (GE) junction is exposed. A point on the greater curvature approximately 3-6cm to the pylorus is identified as the distal extent of the resection. Ultrasonic shears are used to divide the vessels long the greater curve up to the angle of His. Linear cutting staplers are used to vertically transect the stomach, creating a narrow gastric tube with. A 19Fr drain is placed in the subhepatic space near the staple line. The resected portion of the stomach is extracted through one of the working ports.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity, run by Assiut University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ahmed Mohie Eldin, MBBC (+201062233321, ahmed_mohie@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Low density lipoprotein (time frame: at 6 months postoperative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Apr 2017.
