Abstract
This report presents the results of a systematic review and meta-analysis of the
evidence available on the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of bariatric
surgery in people with obesity compared with non-surgical treatment comprising
diet and/or pharmacotherapy. It also includes a separate analysis of the evidence
for patients with both obesity and diabetes, along with a comparative analysis of
the evidence on the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of the various forms of
bariatric surgery.
The risk of bias across the clinical trials was evaluated using the Cochrane
Collaboration criteria. The overall assessment of the available evidence was
carried out using the GRADE methodology.
