James E Mitchell: Influence Statistics

IMPORTANCE: Severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥35) is associated with a broad range of health risks. Bariatric surgery induces weight loss and short-term health improvements, but little is known about long-term outcomes of these operations.

OBJECTIVE: To report 3-year change in weight and select health parameters after common bariatric surgical procedures.

DESIGN AND SETTING: The Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (LABS) Consortium is a multicenter observational cohort ...

Importance: More information is needed about the durability of weight loss and health improvements after bariatric surgical procedures.

Objective: To examine long-term weight change and health status following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB).

Design, Setting, and Participants: The Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (LABS) study is a multicenter observational cohort study at 10 US hospitals in 6 geographically diverse clinical ...

IMPORTANCE: Obesity has been associated with impairments in sexual function and untoward changes in reproductive hormones in women. Relatively few studies have investigated changes in these domains following bariatric surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate changes in sexual functioning, sex hormone levels, and relevant psychosocial constructs in women who underwent bariatric surgery.

DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A prospective cohort study of 106 women from phase 2 of the Longitudinal ...

IMPORTANCE: The variability and durability of improvements in pain and physical function following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) are not well described.

OBJECTIVES: To report changes in pain and physical function in the first 3 years following bariatric surgery, and to identify factors associated with improvement.

DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: The Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery-2 is an observational cohort study at 10 ...

OBJECTIVE: Evidence implicates negative affect in the occurrence of binge/purge behaviors, although the extent to which theoretically relevant individual difference variables may impact this association remains unclear. Negative urgency, the dispositional tendency to engage in rash action when experiencing negative affect, is a unique facet of impulsivity that may play a key role. Moreover, it was hypothesized that women with anorexia nervosa (AN) who are higher on measures of negative ...

BACKGROUND: Many individuals with obesity are motivated to lose weight to improve weight-related co-morbidities or psychosocial functioning, including sexual functioning. Few studies have documented rates of sexual dysfunction in persons with obesity. This study investigated sexual functioning, sex hormones, and relevant psychosocial constructs in individuals with obesity who sought surgical and nonsurgical weight loss.

METHODS: One hundred forty-one bariatric surgery patients (median ...

BACKGROUND: Limited data guide the prediction of weight loss success or failure after bariatric surgery according to presurgery factors. There is significant variation in weight change after bariatric surgery and much interest in identifying preoperative factors that may contribute to these differences. This report evaluates the associations of a comprehensive set of baseline factors and 3-year weight change.

SETTING: Ten hospitals in 6 geographically diverse clinical centers in the ...

IMPORTANCE: Binge-eating disorder (BED), a public health problem associated with psychopathological symptoms and obesity and possibly with metabolic syndrome, lacks approved pharmacotherapies.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the efficacy and safety of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate, a dextroamphetamine prodrug, to treat moderate to severe BED.

DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: We performed a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, forced dose titration, placebo-controlled clinical trial at 30 ...

BACKGROUND: The relationship between obesity and impairments in male sexual functioning is well documented. Relatively few studies have investigated changes in sexual functioning and sex hormones in men who achieve significant weight loss with bariatric surgery. The objective of this study was to assess changes in sexual functioning, sex hormones, and relevant psychosocial constructs in men who underwent bariatric surgery.

METHODS: A prospective cohort study of 32 men from the ...

CONTEXT: Anecdotal reports suggest bariatric surgery may increase the risk of alcohol use disorder (AUD), but prospective data are lacking.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of preoperative and postoperative AUD, and independent predictors of postoperative AUD.

DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A prospective cohort study (Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery-2) of adults who underwent bariatric surgery at 10 US hospitals. Of 2458 participants, 1945 (78.8% female; 87.0% ...

BACKGROUND: Weight loss surgery induces a marked change in eating behavior. However, not much work has been done characterizing the eating behavior after weight loss surgery. We conducted a detailed analysis of patients' eating behavior 18-35 months after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, determined whether preoperative eating disorders might be associated with non-normative postoperative eating, and examined the association of such eating behaviors with weight loss and ...

OBJECTIVE: The current study assesses concordance between self-administered measures and a diagnostic standard for assessment of binge frequency and diagnosis of binge eating disorder (BED) in a sample of binge eaters.

METHOD: The Questionnaire for Eating and Weight Patterns-Revised (QEWP-R), Binge Eating Scale (BES), two items from the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire with Instructions (EDE-Q-I), and the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) were administered. Participants were 157 ...

OBJECTIVE: This study examines the course of eating pathology and its associations with change in weight and health-related quality of life following bariatric surgery.

METHOD: Participants (N = 184) completed the eating disorder examination-bariatric surgery version (EDE-BSV) and the medical outcomes study 36-Item short form health survey (SF-36) prior to and annually following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) for up to 7 years.

RESULTS: ...

BACKGROUND: Candidates for bariatric surgery frequently have co-morbid psychiatric problems.

METHODS: This study investigated the course and the prognostic significance of preoperative and postoperative anxiety and depressive disorders in 107 extremely obese bariatric surgery patients in a prospective design with face-to-face interviews (SCID) conducted prior to the surgery and postoperatively after 6-12 months and 24-36 months.

RESULTS: The point prevalence of depressive disorders but ...
