| Abstract |
This systematic review was performed to compare the effectiveness and safety of SG in the obese elderly patients with the young ones. Cohort studies that compared outcomes among old and young patients who had undergone SG were included. Summary odds ratios were estimated using a random effect model. Eleven studies were included. Old patients had a worse outcome in percentage of excess weight loss than the young ones (SMD -0.39, 95 % CI -0.55 to -0.24). No significant differences were recorded in resolution of co-morbidities: type 2 diabetes mellitus (OR 1.60, 95 % CI 0.84-3.05), hypertension (OR 1.05, 95 % CI 0.65-1.68), dyslipidemia (OR 1.38, 95 % CI 0.68-2.80), OSAS (OR 0.64, 95 % CI 0.30-1.34), or postoperative complications (OR 0.89, 95 % CI 0.51-1.55) between the elderly and the young who had undergone SG. SG was effective for weight loss and resolution of co-morbidities with low complication rate in the obese elderly patients. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 November 2016.
All research outputs
#18,350,249
of 23,573,233 outputs
Outputs from Obesity Surgery
#2,515
of 3,472 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#230,888
of 321,461 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Obesity Surgery
#48
of 68 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,573,233 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,472 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.9. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 321,461 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 68 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
