ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2019

140 participants

Abstract

The goal of this trial is to examine long-term effects of laparoscopic gastric bypass (LRYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on bone mineral density, fracture risk, and body composition ≥ 5 years post-surgery.

Conditions: Morbid Obesity.

Primary outcome: Total hip T-Score measured with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.

Enrollment: 140 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 140 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
