PG - 1265-1270 LID - 10.1007/s11695-020-05129-4 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has emerged as the most effective treatment in reversing insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A number of models and statistical tools have been proposed to predict patients likely to experience diabetes remission post-RYGB. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the preoperative accuracy of DiaRem score in predicting T2DM remission at 1 year of follow-up in a retrospective analysis of diabetic morbidly obese patients who underwent RYGB. METHODS: One hundred and forty-three patients underwent RYGB between January 2018 and December 2018. We conducted a retrospective analysis in 55 patients (38.46%) with T2DM with 1 year of follow-up. DiaRem score was calculated, and patients were stratified in five groups. RESULT: At a 1-year follow-up, we found a higher proportion of patients with T2DM remission in the lower score group compared to a lower proportion of patients with remission in the higher score group. We derived a DiaRem cut-off score of 6.5 that had high sensitivity and specificity to predict T2DM remission preoperatively. We found a significant decrease in BMI and HbA1C values post-operatively at 1 year following RYGB. CONCLUSION: DiaRem score is an easy to determine score based on basic clinical parameters that could identify patients with T2DM who would achieve maximal benefit in terms of remission after bariatric surgery. The development of a suitable scoring tool would be clinically useful as it would enable clinicians to better triage patients for RYGB.
