Study of Autonomic Dysfunction After Bariatric Surgery The ADiPOSE Registry Study

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating autonomic dysfunction AD and orthostatic intolerance OI in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery BS. This observational study aims to assess how common AD is after BS and to better understand the underlying causes and outcomes. Previous research has shown limited and low-quality evidence on this topic, prompting this study to improve knowledge about ADOI following bariatric procedures. The study includes both retrospective and prospective phases. Patients who have had BS within the last 3 years or will undergo BS soon are observed to characterize the development of ADOI after surgery. Bariatric surgeries studied include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch. The study does not involve any experimental treatments but focuses on monitoring and collecting data about ADOI symptoms and progression. Participants will provide consent and maintain follow-up with their bariatric surgery team. Researchers will evaluate the prevalence and outcomes of autonomic dysfunction at around 3 months after surgery. Data collection includes medical history, symptom tracking, and follow-up evaluations to better define ADOI characteristics. The study will end in December 2025, allowing for thorough observation and outcome assessment over time.
