Popis: Background: The efficacy of anti-obesity medications in combination with lifestyle modification is robustly supported by randomized controlled trials, but there is a paucity of data on their effectiveness for weight loss maintenance in clinical practice. Objectives: To investigate real-world effectiveness of anti-obesity medications (AOM) to maintain weight loss over 2 years. Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients who established care at an academic weight management center between 4/2014-4/2016 was performed by three independent reviewers. Patients who had both 1-year and 2-year follow-up appointments were identified. Demographics, medications, and weight changes after pharmacotherapy initiation were recorded during 2-year follow-up. Results: Of 1775 new patients, 883 met eligibility criteria, and 423 patients had weight data recorded at 1-year and 2-year time points. Patients were 74.2% female with an average age of 50.9 + 13.8 years, and 17.0% had type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The mean baseline weight and BMI were 98.6 + 22.5 kg and 35.3 + 6.87 kg/m2, respectively. The mean weight loss at year-1 and year-2 was similar (-9.9 + 7.7% vs. -10.3 + 8.8%, p=0.31). There was no statistically significant difference in weight loss between the T2DM and non-DM cohorts at 2 years (-8.69% vs. -10.48%, p=0.12). The average BMI change at 2 years was -10.7 + 9.4% (p 1 weight loss medication with an average of 2.4 + 1.2 drugs. The most commonly prescribed weight-loss pharmacotherapies were metformin (71.5%), phentermine (23.3%) and topiramate (19.9%). Conclusions: Clinically significant weight loss maintenance over 2 years is achievable with the use of multi-drug weight-loss pharmacotherapy in a specialty care center. Disclosure B.G. Tchang: None.
