Abstract

Background Non-compliant patients fail to match their behavior to the clinical prescription. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding requires strict compliance with surgical and dietary advice. Failure to attend follow-up appointments and the persistent consumption of calorie-dense liquid foods are associated with poor weight loss and postoperative complications. Prediction of "poor compliers" would enhance candidate selection and enable specific interventions to be targeted.Methods 9 poor compliers were identified and compared with 9 fully compliant controls. Case-notes were analyzed retrospectively.Results Cases were found to graze on foods and eat more in response to negative affects. They were reluctant to undergo psychiatric assessment, viewed the band as responsible for weight loss, and aroused caution in the psychiatric evaluator. Poor compliance was not associated with binge eating, purging, impulsivity or psychiatric illness.Conclusions Unrealistic expectations and anxiety are known to predict non-adherence. Constant negative affects may be self-modulated by grazing. The results are explored in the context of Self-efficacy Theory, a socio-cognitive account of illness behavior.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Pre-operative grazing is predictive of poorer adherence to dietary recommendations in RYGB and gastric band patients.

    “pre‐operative grazing (i.e., picking/nibbling), 33 pre‐operative night‐eating, 30 or a history of combined mood and eating disorder 34 is predictive of poorer adherence to dietary recommendations in RYGB and gastric band patients.”
  • Pre-operative emotional eating is predictive of poorer adherence to dietary recommendations in RYGB and gastric band patients.

    “pre‐operative emotional eating, 33 pre‐operative grazing (i.e., picking/nibbling), 33 pre‐operative night‐eating, 30 or a history of combined mood and eating disorder 34 is predictive of poorer adherence to dietary recommendations in RYGB and gastric band patients.”
  • In that small study, no differences between non-compliers and controls were noted with regard to pre-operative binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, mood disorders, alcohol abuse, child sexual abuse history, insight about obesity, and the belief that the band is responsible for weight loss.

    “No differences between the groups were noted with regard to pre‐operative binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, mood disorders, alcohol abuse, child sexual abuse history, insight about obesity, and the belief that the band is responsible for weight loss”
  • In a small study of LAGB patients (N = 18), non-compliers were more likely to report pre-operative emotional eating.

    “but non‐compliers were more likely to report pre‐operative emotional eating.”

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.
