| Abstract |
Bariatric surgery in adolescents is still under debate. Literature about the long-term impact of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on adolescents' obesity and associated morbidities is scarce. It is unknown if LSG shows better long-term results in the adolescent or adult group. To compare the long-term effectiveness of LSG on obesity and associated comorbidities between adolescents and adults. This retrospective study analyzed all patients with morbid obesity who underwent LSG in (2011-2012) and were followed for up to 5 years. Patients were divided into two groups: adolescents and adults. Data were compared between the two groups. LSG was performed in 139 adults and 91 adolescents. The mean ages of the adults and adolescents were 37.4 ± 11.4 and 17 ± 1.5 years, respectively. The preoperative body mass index values of the adults and adolescents were 48.4 ± 8.7 and 47.6 ± 7.5 kg/m2, respectively (P = 0.95). At 5 years, percentage of total weight loss increased in adolescents (to 35.8 ± 11.5%), while it remained almost the same in adults (26.3 ± 10%). At 1 year, about 68.2% of adults and 62.5% of adolescents were cured from diabetes though, 13% of diabetic adults had relapse at 5 years and none of the adolescents relapsed. Postoperative complications occurred in both groups. LSG showed comparable weight loss results in adults and adolescents, with better results in adolescents. LSG is more effective in preventing and treating diabetes/prediabetes in the adolescent group. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. 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 17 February 2018.
All research outputs
#4,613,782
of 23,023,224 outputs
Outputs from Obesity Surgery
#628
of 3,409 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#105,733
of 445,166 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Obesity Surgery
#9
of 47 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,023,224 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,409 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its peers.
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 445,166 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 47 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
