English abstract:
      Background Bariatric surgery has emerged as an important tool in the management of obesity. Some patients undergoing bariatric surgery are prone to develop emotional abnormalities and have abnormally elevated concentrations of inflammatory factors level in peripheral blood, whereas current domestic research focusing on the impact of preoperative emotional states and peripheral blood inflammatory factors level on weight loss effect remains limited.Objective To explore the correlation of preoperative emotional abnormalities with the effectiveness of bariatric surgery in obese patients, and to provide theoretical basis for improving the clinical efficacy of bariatric surgery.Methods Eighty-one obese patients scheduled for bariatric surgery at gastrointestinal surgery Department of West China Hospital, Sichuan University from December 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023 were enrolled and assessed using Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item (HAMD-17) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA). Patients who scored 7 or above on HAMD-17 or HAMA or had a history of previous depression or anxiety diagnoses were classified into emotional abnormality group (n=34), and samples who scored less than 7 on HAMD-17 and HAMA and were free of history of previous depression and anxiety diagnoses were set as non-emotional abnormality group (n=47). The data were collected by the self made questionnaire. Patients were subjected to complete the assessment of Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation-Chinese Version (BSI-CV), Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Laboratory tests including peripheral blood C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Body weight and height assessed in the early morning after an overnight fasting period were recorded in all participants at 1- and 6-month after surgery through outpatient clinic visits or telephone follow-up. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to examine relationship among body mass index (BMI), preoperative emotional states and peripheral blood inflammation mediators.Results Among 81 obese patients, 62 completed the study, including 27 cases in emotional abnormality group and 35 cases in non-emotional abnormality group. Emotional abnormality group scored higher on BSI-CV (current), BSI-CV (worst), EDI and PSQI, and detected higher levels of CRP and IL-6 compared with non-emotional abnormality group (Z=2.677, 2.975, t=3.573, 4.035, 1.990, 2.799, P<0.05 or 0.01). For BMI, there was no significant group effect and time×group interaction effect (P>0.05), but a significant time effect (F=227.740, P<0.01). Within emotional abnormality group, BMI at the baseline, 1- and 6-month after surgery showed a positive correlation with IL-6 level (r=0.419, 0.510, 0.559, P<0.05 or 0.01), BMI at 6-month after surgery was positively correlated with HAMD-17 total score (r=0.390, P<0.05), and ΔBMI% at 6-month after surgery was negatively correlated with HAMD-17 total score (r=-0.421, P<0.05). Within non-emotional abnormality group, baseline BMI was positively correlated with IL-6 level (r=0.338, P<0.01).Conclusion The short-term effect of bariatric surgery may be comparable in obese patients with or without emotional abnormalities, while it cannot be ruled out whether the outcome of bariatric surgery is related to the severity of preoperative depression.
