| Abstract |
Owing to its impact on weight loss, remission of diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome, bariatric surgery has offered hope for grossly obese individuals. In recent years, obesity has increased in the UAE and the use of bariatric surgery has increased in-line with this trend. However, data regarding bariatric surgery outcomes in diabetic Emirati people is scarce. To evaluate the effect of bariatric surgery in patients with diabetes mellitus. This is a retrospective analysis of diabetic patients treated with bariatric surgery with a minimal follow-up of 1 year and extended for some patients (21) to 2 years follow up. A total of 80 patients underwent bariatric surgery. Two surgical procedures were used; laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (n=53) or mini-gastric bypass between January 1, 2015, and July 20, 2017. Mean baseline weight was 119.2±31.2 kg, this has significantly dropped to 100.1±23.1, 91.2±22.3, 82.3±17.5, and 81.3±15.3 kg at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months respectively, and this change was statistically significant P<0.001 at each time point. Mean baseline HbA1c was 8.6% ± 2.3% and this dropped significantly to 6.5±1.7, 5.9±1.2, 5.6±0.8, and 5.4±0.7 at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months respectively (P<0.000). In 49 (61.3%) we considered fatty liver based on ultrasound features either with or without elevation in alanine aminotransferase (ALT). We noticed a significant decrease in ALT at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Furthermore, 11 patients (22.4%) showed sonographic features of improvement in fatty liver in addition to normalization of ALT. Bariatric surgery was effective over a follow-up period of 2 years in achieving significant weight loss as well as resulting in improvements in glycemic control, blood pressure, and fatty liver. |

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 26 September 2018.
All research outputs
#15,505,621
of 25,887,951 outputs
Outputs from Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy
#447
of 1,203 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#184,212
of 347,583 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy
#6
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,887,951 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,203 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% 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 347,583 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 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 66% of its contemporaries.
