Remission of Type II Diabetes Mellitus 1-Year Postoperative Following One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass in Correlation with ABCD, DiaRem, and DRS Scores.

backgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a debilitating chronic illness. Roux en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) present a potential solution to type II DM. Several scoring systems predict DM remission as ABCD score, DiaRem score, and diabetes remission score (DRS). STUDY

designThis was a retrospective study that included 138 patients with DM and underwent OAGB. BMI, HbA1C, insulin, and oral hypoglycemics need were recorded pre- and postoperatively with calculation of ABCD, DiaRem, and DRS scores. Effects of OAGB on DM were observed and correlated with the scoring systems to detect their sensitivity and specificity.

resultsAge, preoperative, and postoperative BMI were 47.38 ± 7.632, 45.096 ± 4.465, and 31.173 ± 3.799 respectively. The preoperative and stimulated C-peptides were 3.357 ± 0.995 and 4.158 ± 0.897 ng/ml respectively. The preoperative and postoperative HbA1C were 7.396 ± 0.743% and 6.564 ± 0.621% respectively. Patients with complete remission were 32 patients (23.2%) and with partial remission were 46 patients (33.3%) adding to 56.5% considered in remission. There was significant decrease of BMI, HbA1C, insulin, and oral hypoglycemic use postoperatively. Receiver operator characteristics (ROC) curve showed that ABCD, DiaRem, and DRS scores had AUC of 0.853 with cut-off > 5, 0.921 with cut-off ≤ 8, and 0.805 with cut-off ≤ 8 respectively. The DiaRem score had the highest AUC followed by ABCD score then DRS score.

conclusionOAGB significantly reduced BMI and HbA1C values 1 year postoperatively with 56.5% DM remission. DiaRem score had more remission predictive value following OAGB than ABCD and DRS scores especially when ≤ 8 with 90.6% sensitivity and 83% specificity.
