Overview

Systematic review demonstrates reduced hypertension in patients with obesity, suggesting surgical intervention is a better option.

Key Points

  • Bariatric surgery significantly reduces mean systolic blood pressure by 4.29 mmHg compared to non-surgical interventions.
  • Analysis of 10 RCTs involving 692 patients shows that metabolic surgery also decreases mean diastolic blood pressure by 2.88 mmHg.
  • This systematic review utilized a random-effects meta-analysis model to evaluate long-term hypertension management outcomes.
  • MBS improves the likelihood of patients not requiring antihypertensive medications, with a relative risk of 2.12.
