Endoscopic Bariatric Therapies Registry for Weight Loss

This study is gathering information on different endoscopic bariatric therapies (EBTs) like intragastric balloons and endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG). These procedures help people lose weight without traditional surgery. Researchers want to see how well these therapies work and if they are safe. You might be able to join if you are considering an EBT for weight loss or have had one recently. The study will look at your weight changes over time and any side effects you might experience. The goal is to understand if EBTs are as good as, or better or worse than, other weight loss treatments. The study is currently collecting data from many participants, with a planned enrollment of up to 9999 people.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information from your medical records and standard doctor visits. It is a retrospective and prospective study, looking at past and future data.
What's involved
If you join, researchers will collect data from your medical charts for at least six standard doctor visits over one year. This includes information on your weight, safety, and how well the treatment is working.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your weight will be measured at baseline, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year after the procedure. Safety will be assessed at baseline and within 30 days of the procedure.

What this trial measures

  • Change of weight of the various bariatric therapiesBaseline, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year post procedure

    Compare mean percentage total body weight loss achieved via various Endoscopic Bariatric Therapies compared to baseline, 1 month, 6 months and 1 . year post procedure. This will be calculated by measuring the patients weight on a scale and comparing it to their baseline weight pre procedure.

  • Safety of procedure measured by in the number of adverse events of procedureat baseline

    Number of adverse events; Type (unexpected, expected, related, possibly related), frequency and intensity of adverse events at baseline

  • Safety of procedure measured by in the number of adverse events that occur within 30 daysWithin 30 days of the procedure
