The Impact of Gastric Sleeve on Quality of Life in Obese Adult Patients At King Fahad Hospital, Jeddah, 2017
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: Obese patients have lower Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) scores than the general population. Weight loss is associated with improvements in different quality of life domains. To achieve weight loss, common approaches include the gastric sleeve procedure. Objective: To assess the Quality of Life (QoL) in adult obese patients (> 18years old) who have undergone the gastric sleeve procedure at King Fahd General Hospital in Jeddah, 2017. Methodology: A Quasi-experimental study was done among 91 adult obese patients. To assess Quality of Life (QoL) and also take anthropometric measurements in participants that fit our criteria, Short Form 36 (SF-36) was completed before and 3 months after the gastric sleeve procedure. Student’s Paired t-test was used in our statistical analysis. Results: We had a response rate of 81.3% (n=74) for sleeve patients. The gastric sleeve intervention resulted in improvements in all SF-36 domains of the QoL. Global QoL significantly (p < .05) increased from mean ± SD values of 58.0±16.7 up to 77.7±15.3. Conclusion: The gastric sleeve is associated with improvement in all of QoL domains but mostly in role limitation in physical and emotional health. That effect was observed as early as 3 months.
