Trooboff SW, et al. - Researchers sought to determine the medium- and long-term psychosocial impact of bariatric surgery in adolescents with severe obesity. Searching MEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE, Web of Science, PsycInfo, and the Cochrane Libraries through October 2017, 5,155 studies were reviewed; of these, 20 eligible studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. Fourteen studies and 9 unique cohorts comprising 573 patients were identified as suitable for meta-analysis regarding the postoperative change in quality of life (QoL). Outcomes suggest sustained improvement in QoL among adolescents with severe obesity across surgical procedures in correlation with weight loss surgery. They did not identify long-term data for psychosocial outcomes reflecting other mental health domains.
