Summary of Efficacy of BPD and BPD/DS for weight loss

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

After reviewing 75 abstracts, I can make a summary of the efficacy

statistics for BPD and BPD/DS.

The range of weight loss from these procedures is from 62-84% of

excess weight. One of the worst report (62%) was by Marceau and was

for the procedure without the DS (Aug-95). The best report was also

by Marceau (84%) with the DS procedure (Nov-95).

The worst report was by Bajadari (60%) in Feb. 2000. This excludes

an early report by Ren of 58% @ 9 months.

All of the other reports show 70-81% excess weight loss. The largest

reports are by Scopinaro and Lernmes and show 75% and 77% excess

weight loss respectively.

So the data on weight loss is quite consistant. Next I will look

into complications.
