Obesity

Effect of Helicobacter pylori on sleeve gastrectomy and gastric microbiome differences in patients with obesity and diabetes

Int J Obes (Lond)Published Observational study

Authors' conclusion

Therefore, these findings indicate that patients with obesity and diabetes clearly benefit from surgery, but H. pylori infection may also affect clinical improvement.

Study context

Population
Patients with obesity, diabetes mellitus (DM), and H. pylori infection undergoing sleeve gastrectomy
Participants
40 patients
Exposure
Patients with obesity by DM and H. pylori status undergoing sleeve gastrectomy
Outcome
Clinical changes after sleeve gastrectomy
Methodological details16S V3-V4 sequencing
  • 16S V3-V4 sequencing

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • DM group: ALT, hemoglobin, HbA1c, blood glucose and HSI significantly decreased; HDL significantly increased
  • H. pylori-positive group: no significant difference

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Gastric microbiota diversity

Diversity decreased in the order ND > DM > ND-HP > DM-HP

Correlation of preoperative microbes with clinical data

ND-HP: most of top 20 gastric microbiota negatively correlated with glucose metabolism
H. pylori infection positively correlated with pre-insulin levels
