- The Edmonton Obesity Staging System: assessing a potential tool to improve the management of obesity surgery in the Brazilian public health services(2020) OGASSAVARA, Nicolas Chiu; DIAS, Joao Gabriel Magalhaes; PAJECKI, Denis; SIQUEIRA, Jose de Oliveira; SANTO, Marco Aurelio; TESS, Beatriz HelenaBackground: Limited access to publicly funded, insurance-covered, and self-paid obesity surgery is a reality worldwide. Waiting lists for procedures are usually based on chronologic criteria and body mass index (BMI)-defined obesity categorization. Obesity classification systems assess overall health and have been proposed as an alternative. Objective: To investigate the correlation between BMI-based classification and the Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS) to support current evidence that the assessment of the clinical severity of obesity could be a helpful tool to maximize access to surgery. Setting: University hospital, Brazil. Methods: Retrospective analysis of all 2011 to 2014 adult patients who underwent obesity surgery under the public health system. Data on sex, age, presurgical BMI, and co-morbidities were extracted from hospital records. Spearman correlation coefficients were used to assess the strength and direction of the relationship between BMI classification and EOSS. Results: Of 565 patients, 79% were female, mean age 44.1 +/- 10.9 years and mean BMI 46.9 +/- 6.2 kg/m(2). The most common EOSS stage was 2 (86.5%), followed by stages 3 (8.5%) and 1 (4.9%). There was no correlation between the severity of obesity measured by BMI and EOSS (p = - .030, P = .475). Older patients had higher Edmonton scores (p = .308, P < .001). No difference was observed regarding sex. Conclusions: No correlation was found between EOSS and BMI and between these and sex. Age correlated with both obesity indicators. EOSS was reproducible in Brazilian surgical patients and may be an important tool from a health services perspective contributing to the more efficient use of limited resources for obesity surgery.
