| Abstract |
Gastric bypass surgery has been well accepted as a novel treatment modality for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in obese patients. Some scoring systems have been proposed for the selection of T2DM patients who are eligible for gastric bypass surgery. This study compares two scoring systems with regard to remission of T2DM after gastric bypass surgery. This retrospective cohort study included 245 patients (150 females and 95 males) who had undergone gastric bypass surgery for the treatment of T2DM with 1 year follow-up. We examined the predictive power of complete remission of two scoring systems, the DiaRem score, and the ABCD score. The DiaRem score includes the factors of age, HbA1c, medication, and insulin usage. The ABCD score includes the factors of age, BMI, C-peptide level, and duration of T2DM. The rate of remission of T2DM after gastric bypass surgery was evaluated using both scoring systems. At 1 year after surgery, the percent weight loss was 26.5 % and the mean BMI decreased from 35.7 to 26.2 kg/m(2). The mean HbA1c decreased from 8.8 to 6.2 %. A significant number of patients showed improvement in glycemic control, including 130 (53.1 %) patients with complete remission (HbA1c < 6.0 %), 36 (14.7 %) patients with partial remission (HbA1c < 6.5 %), and 26 (10.6 %) patients with improvement (HbA1c < 7 %). Both the DiaRem score and the ABCD score predicted the success of the gastric bypass surgery, but the ABCD score was better at differentiating patients with poorer score (27.9 vs. 9.1 %, p < 0.001). Gastric bypass surgery is a treatment option for obese T2DM patients. The ABCD score is better at predicting T2DM remission at 1 year after gastric bypass surgery than the DiaRem score. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. 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 02 March 2016.
All research outputs
#13,360,588
of 22,852,911 outputs
Outputs from Obesity Surgery
#1,636
of 3,374 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#141,839
of 298,624 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Obesity Surgery
#38
of 90 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,852,911 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,374 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% 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 298,624 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 90 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its contemporaries.
