NCT03636581
This study will be a randomized cross-over design over the course of 2 academic years. 40 subjects -20 overweight women and 20 over weight men will be recruited. Each subject will have body composition tested, blood lipid profile, and resting metabolic rate done in the beginning of the first academic year and at the end of the first academic year. The intervention group will receive activity trackers, diet counseling, and fitness counseling for one academic year. The second year, all outcome measures (a body scan, blood lipid profile, and resting metabolic rate) will be performed again at the start of the academic year 2, except the intervention group will now be the control group and the control group will now receive the same intervention. All final outcome measures will be performed at the end of the second year.

Background: Revisional bariatric surgery (RBS) represents a further solution for patients who experience an inadequate response following initial bariatric surgery or significant weight regain following an initial satisfactory response. Studies including the follow-up of patients with complications after RBS are still lacking. Aim: to analyze the trend, mortality, and complications at 30 days after RBS in Italy. Secondary aim: 30-day readmission rate, reoperations for any reason related to bariatric surgery. Design: longitudinal, prospective, multicenter study. Time interval: 10 months October 2021 - July 2022). Setting: 11 high-volume bariatric centers of the Italian National Health Service (SSN), university hospitals, hospitals, accredited private centers. Methods: All patients undergoing RBS from 01.11.2021 through 31.04.2022 will be enrolled in a prospective, online database, registering indications, technique, mortality, intraoperative and perioperative complications, readmission for any reason. All participating centers follow the same preoperative work-up protocol, indications, informed consent, and postoperative follow-up, including scheduled telephone and outpatient visits after 7, 15 and 30 postoperative days. Inclusion criteria: revisional procedures; no concomitant procedure, but hiatal hernia repair; age \>18\<60 years; compensated comorbidities; informed consent including COVID-19 addendum; adherence to specific admission, in-hospital and follow-up protocols. Patients undergone RBS during 2016-2020 will be considered a control group. The study will not involve any modification of the usual protocols. Statistical analyze: to make qualitative quantitative comparison regarding clinical and anthropometric factors between the two study groups (2021-22; 2016-20), the z-test for two proportions and t-test (two-tailed) will be used, respectively. The significance is fixed at 0.05 and all analyzes will be performed with the SPSS v.27 software. Expected results: enroll about 500 patients to obtain information on the safety of RBS and the current trends in Italy.
