Predicting Quality of Life After Bariatric Surgery from Pre-Surgery Profiles
Official title: Identification of Pre-surgical Phenotypic Indicators Predictive of Quality of Life Trajectories in Obese Patients Following Bariatric Surgery
Run by Centre Hospitalier Metropole Savoie · NCT06951893 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether pre-surgical patient traits can predict how quality of life changes after bariatric surgery for adults in the GEROM73 program.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults over 18 enrolled in the GEROM73 bariatric program and beginning the intra-hospital phase.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals not experiencing changes in QoL trajectories or who do not meet specific pre-surgical phenotypic indicators may see no direct benefit.

What this trial studies
This interventional study follows adults undergoing a standard bariatric care pathway (GEROM73) to identify pre-operative phenotypic indicators that forecast long-term quality of life after surgery. Researchers also explore links between post-surgery quality of life and anxiety, depression, eating behavior, and body measurements over a 30-month period. Participants complete validated questionnaires and have body metrics tracked throughout the program. The study uses the in-hospital GEROM73 framework, with data collected before surgery and for 24 months after, to identify trajectory patterns. No separate experimental treatment is tested beyond the integrated care pathway.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help clinicians tailor pre-surgical assessments to predict and potentially optimize post-surgery quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Prior work in related domains suggests that psychosocial factors and pre-surgical profiles can influence post-bariatric QoL trajectories, though this exact approach is less established.
