Int J Eat Disord 2020; 53:1353-1376. [PMID: 32583527 DOI: 10.1002/eat.23297] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2019] [Revised: 03/17/2020] [Accepted: 03/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Long-term effectiveness is a critical aspect of the clinical utility of a treatment; however, a meta-analytic evaluation of psychological and medical treatments for binge-eating disorder (BED), including weight loss treatments, is outstanding. This meta-analysis sought to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the long-term effectiveness in diverse treatments for BED regarding a range of clinically relevant outcomes. METHOD Based on a systematic search up to February 2018, 114 published and unpublished randomized-controlled (RCTs), nonrandomized, and uncontrolled treatment studies, totaling 8,862 individuals with BED (DSM-IV, DSM-5), were identified and analyzed using within-group random-effect modeling. RESULTS Effectiveness (regarding binge-eating episodes and abstinence, eating disorder and general psychopathology) up to 12 months following treatment was demonstrated for psychotherapy, structured self-help treatment, and combined treatment, while the results regarding body weight reduction were inconsistent. These results were confirmed in sensitivity analyses with RCTs on the most common treatments-cognitive-behavioral therapy and self-help treatment based on this approach. Follow-up intervals longer than 12 months were rarely reported, mostly supporting the long-term effectiveness of psychotherapy. Few follow-up data were available for pharmacotherapy, and behavioral and self-help weight loss treatment, while follow-up data were lacking for pharmacological and surgical weight loss treatment. Study quality varied widely. DISCUSSION This comprehensive meta-analysis demonstrated the medium-term effectiveness of psychotherapy, structured self-help treatment, and combined treatment for patients with BED, and supported the long-term effectiveness of psychotherapy. The results were derived from uncontrolled comparisons over time. Further long-term high quality research on psychological and medical treatments for BED is required.

[PMID: 25660171 DOI: 10.1016/j.orcp.2014.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2013] [Revised: 01/09/2014] [Accepted: 01/25/2014] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Symptoms of disordered eating are common among patients seeking bariatric surgery, and assessment of eating pathology is typical in pre-surgical evaluations. A systematic review was conducted to evaluate the definitions, diagnostic criteria and measures used to assess disordered eating in adults seeking bariatric surgery. The review identified 147 articles featuring 34 questionnaires and 45 interviews used in pre-surgical assessments. The Questionnaire on Eating and Weight Patterns Revised and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM were the most frequently used questionnaire and interview respectively. Variations to pre-surgical diagnostic criteria included changes to the frequency and duration criteria for binge eating, and inconsistent use of disordered eating definitions (e.g., grazing). Results demonstrate a paucity of measures designed specifically for an obese sample, and only 24% of questionnaires and 4% of interviews used had any reported psychometric evaluation in bariatric surgery candidates. The psychometric data available suggest that interview assessments are critical for accurately identifying binge episodes and other diagnostic information, while self-report questionnaires may be valuable for providing additional information of clinical utility (e.g., severity of eating, shape and weight-related concerns). Findings highlight the need for consensus on disordered eating diagnostic criteria and psychometric evaluation of measures to determine whether existing measures provide a valid assessment of disordered eating in this population. Consistent diagnosis and the use of validated measures will facilitate accurate identification of disordered eating in the pre-surgical population to enable assessment of suitability for surgery and appropriate targeting of treatment for disordered eating to optimise treatment success.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is increasingly being used to treat severe obesity, but little is known about its impact on patient-reported outcomes (PROs). For PRO data to influence practice, well-designed and reported studies are required. A systematic review identified prospective bariatric surgery studies that used validated PRO measures. Risk of bias in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was assessed, and papers were examined for reporting of (i) who completed PRO measures; (ii) missing PRO data and (iii) clinical interpretation of PRO data. Studies meeting all criteria were classified as robust. Eighty-six studies were identified. Of the eight RCTs, risk of bias was high in one and unclear in seven. Sixty-eight different PRO measures were identified, with the Short Form (SF)-36 questionnaire most commonly used. Forty-one (48%) studies explicitly stated measures were completed by patients, 63 (73%) documented missing PRO data and 50 (58%) interpreted PRO data clinically. Twenty-six (30%) met all criteria. Although many bariatric surgery studies assess PROs, study design and reporting is often poor, limiting data interpretation and synthesis. Well-designed studies that include agreed PRO measures are needed with reporting to include integration with clinical outcomes to inform practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies that have investigated the relationship between binge eating and the long-term outcome of bariatric surgery have shown mixed results. Does binge eating affect long-term BMI, health-related quality of life (HRQL), or psychopathology after surgery? METHODS We assessed 173 bariatric patients before and three years after weight loss surgery with regard to weight, binge eating, HRQL, and psychopathology. RESULTS Binge eating before and after weight loss surgery was unrelated to long-term BMI outcome. Binge eating after weight loss surgery was associated with more psychopathology and lower HRQL. CONCLUSIONS Binge eating before or after weight loss surgery does not predict long-term BMI outcome. Therefore, exclusions from surgery for this reason alone are difficult to motivate. However, results show that binge eating after weight loss surgery is common and is associated with more psychopathology and lower HRQL, which might increase the vulnerability for future weight regain and complications beyond the follow-up period of the present study. The high rate of binge eating after surgery and its negative association with HRQL and psychopathology suggest that we need to be observant of the occurrence and potential effects of binge eating in the context of bariatric surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of post-surgical weight loss in improving body image disturbance (BID) in morbidly obese patients is still unclear. Providing multidimensional measures of BID and controlling for the effect of co-morbid eating psychopathology may help to clarify this issue. This preliminary study explores whether 1) BID improves 1 year after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), and whether 2) such improvement is related to post-surgical BMI and/or eating disorder reduction. BID was multidimensionally assessed by means of the Body Uneasiness Test (BUT). METHODS 35 obese subjects (mean BMI 45.5) were evaluated prior to and 1 year after LAGB using the BUT, and a standardized interview and questionnaire to assess eating psychopathology. BID and eating habit changes during follow-up were also investigated. Postoperative BUT values were entered as outcome measures (dependent variables) in a series of stepwise multiple regression analyses; BMI and binge eating reduction, baseline BUT scores, gender, age, and age of onset of obesity were tested as independent variables. RESULTS Some aspects of BID (body image overconcern and related avoidance behaviors, compulsive self-monitoring, and overall severity of BID) improved following LAGB, while others (weight phobia, depersonalization, and uneasiness toward body parts) did not. The post-surgical lower levels of the former were predicted by the overall decrease in binge eating symptoms, irrespective of BMI reduction, age, gender, and age of onset of obesity. CONCLUSIONS LAGB may ameliorate some BID aspects in morbidly obese patients, and an improvement in eating behaviors may contribute to this effect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Successful outcome for bariatric surgery is largely dependent on patients' ability to adhere to postoperative behavior changes. A thorough psychological evaluation is often required before patients' approval for surgery. In addition to a standard psychiatric interview, assessment of behavioral components specific to this surgery seems indicated. No uniform guidelines exist on how to conduct such an evaluation. This survey was designed to collect information on the level of involvement of mental health professionals with bariatric surgery programs and their approach to evaluating bariatric surgery candidates. METHODS Surveys about psychological evaluation practices were mailed to 188 bariatric surgery programs. Eighty-one surveys were returned. RESULTS Eighty-eight percent of programs require patients to undergo a psychological evaluation and almost half require formal standardized psychological assessment. Current illicit drug use, active symptoms of schizophrenia, severe mental retardation, and lack of knowledge about the surgery were the most commonly cited contraindications, preventing patients from gaining approval for surgery. DISCUSSION The majority of programs use psychological evaluations; however, the exclusion criteria for surgery vary greatly. Establishing uniform guidelines for the screening of bariatric surgery candidates is necessary. Suggestions on how to begin this process are provided. More research about behavioral and cognitive predictors of postsurgical success is needed.

Abstract
The recent increase in demand for bariatric surgery has placed mounting economic pressure on insurance companies and other third-party payers (TPPs). As a result, some of the TPPs have responded by excluding or limiting their coverage of all or certain types of bariatric surgical procedures, and cite as their reason, a lack of evidence that supports the safety and efficacy of such procedures. Over the years, so-called "evidence-based reviews" have been used to back these claims. Some of these reviews have significant flaws and limitations that are discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to present a review of the psychosocial outcome of bariatric surgery with special consideration of psychiatric comorbidity, psychopathology, psychosocial functioning, econometric data, and general quality of life (QoL). PURPOSE A review of all (non-) controlled trials of the last two decades both with a retrospective and prospective design and a follow-up period of at least 1 y. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES The relevant literature was identified by a search of computerized databases. All articles published in English and German since 1980 were reviewed. Based on the requirements of the evidenced-based guidelines of the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research and the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, each study was rated by a level of evidence. RESULTS In all, 171 publications were reviewed. Using the above inclusion/exclusion criteria, 63 articles including two systematic reviews were identified. A total of 40 studies focused on psychosocial outcome after obesity surgery. CONCLUSION Mental health and psychosocial status including social relations and employment opportunities improve for the majority of people after bariatric surgery thus leading to an improved QoL. Psychiatric comorbidity, predominantly affective disorders, and psychopathologic symptoms decrease postsurgically. A substantial percentage of bariatric surgery patients suffer from binge eating disorder or binge eating symptoms. The effect of bariatric surgery on the outcome of binge eating symptoms largely depends on the type of operation. With the exception of patients with a severe psychiatric comorbidity, the concern that obesity surgery will reinforce psychic symptoms and lead to a reduction in the QoL seems to be unfounded.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study examined the association between body dissatisfaction and binge eating, and the mediating role of restraint and depression among obese women. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES Participants were obese women taking part in a cognitive-behavioral treatment program who completed self-report measures at baseline (n = 89) and post-treatment follow-up (n = 69). RESULTS At baseline, body dissatisfaction was strongly correlated with binge eating score. This was partly a direct effect and partly mediated by depression. No mediating effect of restraint was observed. Over the treatment period, a reduction in body dissatisfaction was associated with a reduction in binge-eating score. As in the cross-sectional data, there was evidence for mediation by change in depression with the greatest improvement in binge eating among those who became more restrained and less depressed. DISCUSSION These results suggest that it would be valuable to address psychological well-being, and especially body image, as part of the management of binge-eating behavior in obesity.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationships between binge eating disorder and night eating in severely obese patients. DESIGN Longitudinal study following biliopancreatic diversion, when any preoccupation with food and weight is completely abandoned. MATERIALS AND METHODS Structured interview prior to the operation and at the 1, 2, and 3-year follow-up visit. RESULTS Nearly complete disappearance of binging behavior and no changes in the frequency of night eating. CONCLUSION Binge eating and night eating are widely overlapping but different behaviors; night eating appears to be fully independent of preoccupation with food and dieting.

Abstract
In a group of early-onset-obesity obese patients eating behaviour, body image and psychological condition were assessed by the Eating Disorder Inventory, the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire, the Body Shape Questionnaire and the Body Attitude Questionnaire. These evaluations were carried out prior to and at long-term follow-up after biliopancreatic diversion when body weight had steadily fallen towards normal values. The aim was to establish the influence of actual body weight and shape over body image. A notable improvement in eating behaviour and overall psychological conditions was observed, while the parameters assessing body image remained substantially unchanged, indicating that early-onset-obesity postobese subjects, despite having obtained normal or nearly normal weight conditions, are still much more dissatisfied with their body weight and somatic morphology than never-obese subjects with very similar actual body weights.
