9041 Multi-modality therapy (MMT) for pediatric sarcoma (SARC) may result in late endocrine abnormalities and increased cardiovascular morbidity. Metabolic syndrome (MS; NCEP ATPIII definition), a cluster of obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia and hypertension, conveys an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This cross-sectional study investigated the prevalence of the MS traits (MST) in long-term survivors of MMT for SARC. 32 survivors of SARC (predominantly Ewing’s; median age 36.5 years, range 17–54; f:m = 15:17; median age at MMT of 15 years, range 7–34; median time since completion of MMT 18 years, range 3–33) completed CT evaluation of abdominal obesity, DEXA scan for body mass composition, fasting serum lipid profile (FLP), the Human Activity Profile (HAP) and PAI and beta 2 microglobulin (B2M) analysis. Results, compared to appropriate controls were considered statistically significant if the p-value < 0.01. SARC survivors were more likely to have one or more MST (common OR 4.04, CI:[1.52, 13.55], p=0.0045). Subjects aged 20–39 had a higher pooled prevalence of the MS (common OR 4.29 [1.50, 11.21], p=0.0077), defined as 3 or more traits, compared to controls stratified by gender. Analysis of individual MST demonstrated higher prevalence of hypertension (common OR 2.61,[1.20, 5.59], p=0.015), hypertriglyceridemia (common OR 3.63, [1.75, 7.60], p=0.0006), and male abdominal obesity (common OR 4.52, [1.57, 13.39], p=0.0046). SARC survivors had a higher prevalence of hypercholesterolemia than healthy adults (p=0.012). PAI antigen (p=0.043), PAI activity (p=0.018) and B2M levels (p=0.043) increased with an increasing number of MST. In male subjects, total testosterone declined (p=0.008) as the number of MST increased. Average (p=0.028) and maximum (p=0.041) activity levels decreased as the number of MST increased. After a median follow up of 18 years, adult SARC survivors of MMT have an increased prevalence of MST, especially between ages 20–39 years. The development of MST may be associated with decreased testosterone and decreased activity level. Younger male adult SARC survivors may be at particular risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease and should be monitored. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Introduction: Obesity is an increasingly prevalent global health issue and has a considerable disease burden, including numerous co-morbidities. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is one such co-morbidity associated with a high mortality rate and prevalence, especially in patients with obesity and concomitant Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Bariatric surgery is an effective intervention for patients with obesity, shown to reduce overall cardiovascular disease risk. However, few studies have quantified the long-term impact of bariatric surgery on ASCVD outcomes in the context of key co-morbidities such as T2DM. Hypothesis: Bariatric surgery will improve long-term ASCVD outcomes in obese patients with T2DM. Methods: A nested, nationwide, propensity-matched cohort study was carried out using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink. The study cohort included 593 patients who underwent bariatric surgery and had no past history of ASCVD. A further 593 patients served as propensity-score matched controls. Patients were followed up for a median time of 47.2 months. The primary composite study endpoint was the incidence of ASCVD defined by a diagnosis of new coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease (CeVD), peripheral arterial disease (PAD), or other miscellaneous atherosclerotic disease. Secondary endpoints included all-cause mortality and the incidence of CAD, CeVD, and PAD individually. Results: Patients who underwent bariatric surgery had significantly lower rates of new ASCVD during follow-up (HR 0.53, CI 0.30-0.95, p=0.032). No significant difference was observed in rates of new CAD (HR 0.69, CI 0.32-1.46, p=0.331), CeVD (HR 0.23, CI 0.00-5.45, p=0.1760) and PAD (HR 0.55, CI 0.21-1.43, p=0.218). The bariatric surgery group also had a lower rate of all-cause mortality (HR 0.36, CI 0.19-0.71, p=0.003) compared to controls. Conclusions: In this study, bariatric surgery was associated with improved ASCVD outcomes, as well as lower all-cause mortality, in patients with obesity and T2DM. These findings support the use of bariatric surgery in treating obesity and reducing the burden of its related comorbidities.

Abstract Background Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are at greater cardiovascular risk than those with T2D without MetS. In the current report we aim to study the characteristics, cardio-renal outcomes and the effect of empagliflozin in patients with MetS enrolled in the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial. Methods A total of 7020 patients with T2D and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease were treated with empagliflozin (10 mg or 25 mg) or placebo for a median of 3.1 years. The World Health Organization MetS criteria could be determined for 6985 (99.5%) patients. We assessed the association between baseline MetS and multiple cardio-renal endpoints using Cox regression models, and we studied the change in the individual component over time of the MetS using mixed effect models. Results MetS at baseline was present in 5740 (82%) patients; these were more often white and had more often albuminuria and heart failure, had lower eGFR and HDL-cholesterol, and higher blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, and triglycerides. In the placebo group, patients with MetS had a higher risk of all outcomes including cardiovascular death: HR = 1.73 (95% CI 1.01–2.98), heart failure hospitalization: HR = 2.64 (95% CI 1.22, 5.72), and new or worsening nephropathy: HR = 3.11 (95% CI 2.17–4.46). The beneficial effect of empagliflozin was consistent on all cardio-renal outcomes regardless of presence of MetS. Conclusions A large proportion of the EMPA-REG OUTCOME population fulfills the criteria for MetS. Those with MetS had increased risk of adverse cardio-renal outcomes. Compared with placebo, empagliflozin improved cardio-renal outcomes in patients with and without MetS. Trial registration Clinical Trial Registration: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

ObjectivesLong-term effects of gastric bypass (GBP) surgery have been presented in observational and randomised studies, but there are only limited data for persons with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) regarding postoperative complications.DesignThis is a nationwide observational study based on two quality registers in Sweden (National Diabetes Register, NDR and Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Register, SOReg) and other national databases.SettingAfter merging the data, we matched individuals with T2DM who had undergone GBP with those not surgically treated for obesity on propensity score, based on sex, age, body mass index (BMI) and calendar time. The risks of postoperative outcomes (rehospitalisations) were assessed using Cox regression models.ParticipantsWe identified 5321 patients with T2DM in the SOReg and 5321 matched controls in the NDR, aged 18–65 years, with BMI >27.5 kg/m² and followed for up to 9 years.Primary and secondary outcome measuresWe assessed risks for all-cause mortality and hospitalisations for cardiovascular disease, severe kidney disease, along with surgical and other medical conditions.ResultsThe results agree with the previously suggested lower risks of all-cause mortality (49%) and cardiovascular disease (34%), and we also found positive effects for severe kidney disease but significantly increased risks (twofold to ninefold) of several short-term complications after GBP, such as abdominal pain and gastrointestinal conditions, frequently requiring surgical procedures, apart from reconstructive plastic surgery. Long-term, the risk of anaemia was 92% higher, malnutrition developed approximately three times as often, psychiatric diagnoses were 33% more frequent and alcohol abuse was three times as great as in the control group.ConclusionsThis nationwide study confirms the benefits and describes the panorama of adverse events after bariatric surgery in persons with obesity and T2DM. Long-term postoperative monitoring and support, as better selection of patients by appropriate specialists in interdisciplinary settings, should be provided to optimise the outcomes.
