Characteristics of the patients in our study.
Fig 1.
Correlation between the variation of BE (Delta BES) and %EWL.
- A Correlation coefficient between %EWL and Delta BES and the distribution of the entire sample. rs = -0.186 p = 0.033
- B Correlation coefficient and distribution of patients who had a negative Delta BES. rs = -0.101 p = 0.306
- C Correlation coefficient and distribution of patients who had a positive Delta BES. rs = -0.378 p = 0.122
Fig 2.
%EWL according to the variation of BE (Delta BES), progressively—greater and lower than 0.
%EWL, % of excess weight loss; Delta BES, BES at one year—preoperative BES; General average of %EWL = 73.99%.
Fig 3.
Correlation between BES and %EWL in the preoperative stage and one year after surgery.
- A BES score in the preoperative stage and its correlation with %EWL. rs = -0.124 p = 0.156
- B BES score one year after surgery and its correlation with %EWL. rs = -0.353 p<0.001
