| Abstract |
Gender might be important in predicting outcomes after bariatric surgery. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of gender on long-term weight loss and comorbidity improvement after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). A cohort of 304 consecutive patients underwent surgery in 2006-2009: 162 (98 women, 64 men) underwent LSG and 142 (112 women, 30 men) underwent LRYGB. The mean follow-up time was 75.8 ± 8.4 months (range, 60-96 months). Overall mean (95 % CI) reduction in BMI was 23.5 (24.3-22.7) kg/m(2) after 5 years, with no statistical difference between LSG and LRYGB groups (P = 0.94). The overall means ± standard deviations of %EBMIL after 5 years were 78.8 ± 23.5 and 81.6 ± 21.4 in the LSG and LRYGB groups, respectively. Only for LSG group %EBMIL after 24-36 and 60 months differed significantly between male and female patients (P = 0.003 versus P = 0.06 in LRYGB), and 89 versus 90 % of patients showed improvements in comorbidities in the LSG and LRYGB groups, respectively. Only two patients (women) were lost to follow-up: 1/162 (0.6 %) for LSG at the 4th year and 1/142 (0.7 %) for LRYGB to the 5th year. LSG was more effective in obese male than in female patients in terms of %EBMIL, with no difference in comorbidities. LRYGB elicited similar results in both genders in terms of %EBMIL and comorbidities. |

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 01 June 2015.
All research outputs
#20,276,249
of 22,808,725 outputs
Outputs from Obesity Surgery
#3,003
of 3,372 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#223,670
of 267,792 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Obesity Surgery
#40
of 58 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,808,725 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,372 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% 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 267,792 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 58 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
