EP.WE.712Predictors of remission for type 2 diabetes mellitus after bariatric surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Aims Bariatric surgery has been implicated as a practical therapeutic approach to cure Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Hence, the present study aims to analyse the factors that can predict type2 diabetes remission after bariatric surgery and the recent literature to update information by systematic review. Methods Search strategy followed PICOS framework and PRISMA standards. PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, and CINAHL databases were searched. SPSS version 19 and RevMan 5.0 software were utilised for statistical analysis. Result Five articles were eligible for inclusion from 2010 to November 2019. The mean age of the population in the remission group was younger (40.24 years) than the non-remission groups (p < 0.02). Statistically, a significant difference (p < 0.08) was also found with mean HbA1c in the remission group (7.78%) than the non-remission group (8.96%). Mean BMI and duration of DM were different in two groups, but statistical significance was not observed. Conclusion ABCD (Age, BMI, C-peptide and duration of type 2 DM) score has been widely used over the years for defining remission in type 2 DM following bariatric surgery. The current analysis statistically identified advanced age and HbA1c levels as an influential factor for non-remission. Though the difference in BMI and duration of DM noticed in two groups, it was not statistically significant. Our analysis is in agreement and the continuation of the review by Wang et al. (2015). He concluded that younger age group, shorter duration of type 2 DM and adequate glycemic control were responsible for remission after bariatric surgery.
