Effect of the EndoBarrier Device: a 4-Year Follow-up of a Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial
Abstract
Objective To evaluate the long-term effect of the duodenal-jejunal bypass liner (DJBL) on weight loss and glycemic control. Background Data on the long-term effect of DJBL treatment is still missing. Methods From 2010 to 2012, 29 patients were treated with the DJBL at center A and center B, as part of a multicenter randomized controlled trial. Prior to implantation and after removal of the DJBL, all patients underwent standardized physical examination and blood sampling. Four years after removal of the DJBL, included patients underwent standardized physical examination and blood sampling as previously performed during the initial study. Results Out of the 29 patients, 15 patients were eligible for follow-up with a median duration of 42 months. Five patients had successfully received additional bariatric surgery. Four years after explantation of the DJBL, median weight in these 15 patients was 102.0 kg (IQR 94.0-124.6), which was not statistically significantly different from the 106.1 kg at baseline (IQR 99.0-128.4). Median BMI changed from 33.1 kg/m 2 (IQR 32.3-38.5) at baseline to 33.7 kg/m 2 (IQR 31.2-36.9) after follow-up. Patients had a TWL of 2.2% (IQR - 1.3-5.6) compared to baseline weight. None of the parameters were significantly different after follow-up compared to baseline. Conclusions The effect of weight reduction of initial DJBL treatment seems to be diminished after 4 years of follow-up. However, larger prospective studies with long-term follow-up need to be conducted in the future.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
