Key Words quality of life; Gastrectomy; Weight loss; postgastrectomy syndrome assessment scale-45
Core Tip Our study of almost 1800 gastrectomy patients revealed that higher preoperative body mass index, total gastrectomy, and female sex were independent predictors of greater body weight loss after gastrectomy. Moreover, we determined lower postoperative body mass index, rather than greater postoperative weight loss, as a certain factor of worse quality of life (QOL), although the effect was not substantial. We believe that this contribution is theoretically and practically relevant in the current context of gastric cancer treatment and recovery because early diagnosis and improved treatments have led to increased long-term survival postgastrectomy, highlighting the need for better QOL.
