Brief summary

This is a prospective, multicenter cohort study, which subjects were obese patients requiring bariatric surgery. This study aims to explore the the effectiveness of bariatric surgery for NAFLD/NASH with fribrosis, to explore the differences in the effectiveness among sleeve gastrostomy \[SG\], Roux-en-Y gastric bypass \[RYGB\], or one anastomosis gastric bypass \[OAGB\], and to explore the independent effectiveness of bariatric surgery in histological remission of NAFLD/NASH. The first stage of the cohort was started in 2020, named Base-NAFLD; In May 2024, based on Base-NAFLD, we plan to continue established a secondary cohort, named Base-NASH.

Interventions

PROCEDURESG

SG involved a vertical gastric resection beginning 4-6 cm from the pylorus and ending 1-2 cm from the His angle, using linear staplers with the guidance of a 36 French intragastric bougie.

PROCEDURERYGB

RYGB entails the creation of a 15-30 mL (approximate) gastric pouch, a 150 cm Roux limb, and a 50 cm biliopancreatic limb.

PROCEDUREOAGB

OAGB entails the creation of a long gastric tube by beginning 2 cm below the angular incisure starting from the lesser curvature side and then divided vertically upward by linear cutting staplers as calibrated with a 36 French bougie, followed by the creation of a single gastrojejunal anastomosis with an afferent biliopancreatic limb of 200 cm.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
the remisson rate of NAFLD (for Base-NAFLD cohort)1 years after surgeryPercentage of liver fat content \<5% of abdominal magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) at 1 year after surgery. Visit : Post-op 12 months (±30 Days)
Histological remission of NASH without worsening of fibrosis (for Base-NASH cohort)1 years after surgery\*NASH resolution was defined as presence of a CRN inflammation score of 0 or 1 and no hepatocyte ballooning (score of 0). \*\*Worsening of fibrosis was defined as an increase of one stage or more on the NASH-CRN fibrosis score at 1-year follow-up.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
changes in body weight3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery1. percent excess weight loss (%EWL): %EWL=(\[initial weight\] - \[postoperative weight\])/(\[initial weight\] - \[ideal weight\]) (idealweight is defned as a body mass index \[BMI\] of 25 kg/m2 at each follow-up point) 2. percentage of total weight loss (%TWL): %TWL=(\[initial weight\] - \[postoperative weight\])/(\[initial weight\])×100
the rate of fibrosis improvement without NASH worsening1 year after surgeryNASH worsening, was defined as an increase of ≥1 point in either the lobular inflammation score or the hepatocyte ballooning score.
incidence of adverse health events1 year after surgeryIncluding but not limited to bleeding, ulcer, intestinal obstruction etc.
resolution of obesity-related comorbidities1 year after surgery4.blood glucose levels, lipid levels, and liver enzyme levels.
changes in NASH and liver fbrosis biopsy fndings1 year after surgery2.including the NAS (NAFLD activity score) and SAF scores (steatosis \[S\], activity \[A\], and fbrosis \[F\]) .
