Activity: Talk or presentation › Oral presentation
Description
This is an oral presentation at IFSO 2023 conference at Naples, Italy.
Aim: To determine the effect of preoperative vitamin D deficiency repletion strategies on pre- and postoperative vitamin D status and adverse event rates among bariatric-metabolic surgery candidates.
Methodology: Systematic review
Implication: All preoperative vitamin D repletion strategies, including oral multivitamin, oral vitamin D supplements, and intramuscular injection, were effective in improving vitamin D serum levels post-intervention and/or post-surgery. The strongest evidence was moderate certainty that preoperative vitamin D oral supplementation for 7-8 weeks improved 25OHD levels. However, a few studies observed bone mineral density loss despite increasing vitamin D levels.
