| Abstract |
The objective of this study was to evaluate sleeve gastrectomy with jejunal bypass (SGJB) as a surgical treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in patients with a body mass index (BMI) <35 kg/m(2). This is a prospective cohort study. Patients with T2DM and BMI <35 kg/m(2) who underwent SGJB between January 2009 and June 2011 at DIPRECA Hospital, in Santiago, and Hospital Base, Osorno, Chile were included. SGJB consists of creating a gastric tube, which preserves the pylorus, and performing a jejunoileal anastomosis 300 cm distal to the angle of Treitz. Excess weight loss (EWL) and complete or partial remission of T2DM were reported. Forty-nine patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 49 years (36-62), and 53 % of patients were female. Mean preoperative BMI was 31.6 kg/m(2) (25-34.9 kg/m(2)). Operation time was 123 ± 14 min, with 94.7 % of operations performed laparoscopically. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 2 days. Mean postoperative follow-up was 12 months. Median EWL at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 18 months postoperatively was 31.9 %, 56.9 %, 76.1 %, 81.5 %, and 76.1 %, respectively. Complete T2DM remission was achieved in 81.6 % of patients (40/49) and partial remission in 18.4 % (9/49). Forty of 41 patients (97.6 %) on oral hypoglycemic agents achieved complete T2DM remission, and 100 % of insulin-dependent patients stopped using insulin but were still being treated for T2DM. One patient experienced postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding. There were no deaths. SGJB is an effective treatment for T2DM in patients with BMI <35 kg/m(2). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. 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 30 January 2014.
All research outputs
#14,143,926
of 22,664,644 outputs
Outputs from Obesity Surgery
#1,809
of 3,358 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#95,228
of 161,911 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Obesity Surgery
#23
of 58 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,664,644 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,358 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% 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 161,911 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% 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 has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its contemporaries.
