| Abstract |
This study aims to investigate weight regain and the associated variables 10 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. This retrospective study recruited patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (N = 166) for a 10-year follow-up. The following variables were investigated: body mass index (BMI), percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL), weight regain (WR), and percentage of weight regain (%WG). The chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test compared proportions, and the Mann-Whitney test compared numerical measurements between the groups. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) compared the measurements over time. The significance level was set at 5 %. The sample had a mean age of 39.59 ± 11.69 years, and females prevailed (71.7 %). In the long-term follow-up, 41 % of the patients had weight regain. Seventy-two months after surgery, excess weight, preoperative BMI, gender, age, nutritional monitoring, and iron deficiency did not explain weight regain. Younger patients had regained significantly more weight 96 (p = 0.008) and 120 months (p = 0.004) after surgery than older patients. Patients who regained weight had ferritin <15 μg/dL 96 months after surgery (p = 0.019). Patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass presented weight regain, which increased over time. Age, iron deficiency, and time since surgery were associated with weight regain in the long-term follow-up. |

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
#20,656,820
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Obesity Surgery
#2,830
of 3,713 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#245,267
of 318,641 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Obesity Surgery
#53
of 68 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,713 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% 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 318,641 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% 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 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
