简要总结
There is a growing number of patients undergoing bariatric surgery requiring lifelong follow-up. BagEL (Bariatric Patients in Primary Care: Post-operative Nutrition and Lifestyle Management) is a survey to evaluate a newly developed structured disease management program including nutrition and lifestyle management in primary care.
详细描述
During last decades the prevalence of obesity is growing. Therefore, the number of bariatric procedures are also increasing. Frequent complications after surgery are nutritional deficiencies (e.g. vitamins, minerals, protein) which require mandatory long-term follow-up. So far adequate follow-up programs are only provided in specialized bariatric centers like in the outpatient clinic for obesity at the General Hospital of Vienna. These programs are focusing on prevention and premature identification of deficiencies.
Rising numbers of bariatric-surgical procedures pose a challenge for bariatric centres because of the accumulating numbers of bariatric patients requesting follow-up at least once a year.
To provide full coverage an appropriate possibility would be to transfer follow up to non-specialised facilities including general practitioners and family doctors using a so called "pass" providing practical treatment recommendations (necessary follow-up appointments, laboratory blood tests, questions regarding nutrition and lifestyle behavior).
To our best knowledge such a structured post-bariatric care management program in primary care does not exist by now. The aim of this study is therefore the evaluation of such a pass.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention: Usability Questionnaire
Patients hand over the usability questionnaire to evaluate the self developed structured follow-up program in form of a so-called pass to their family doctor twice in six months. Family doctors examine the postbariatric patient using the pass and evaluate the usability by filling out the questionnaire and return the usability questionnaire to the investigator.
干预措施: Usability Questionnaire (Other)
Control: Usability Questionnaire
Patients hand over the usability questionnaire to evaluate the state of the art guideline for postbariatric follow up appointments in form of a folder "Metabolische Chirurgie und die perioperative Betreuung" to their family doctor twice in six months. Family doctors examine the postbariatric patient using the guideline and evaluate the usability by filling out the questionnaire and return the usability questionnaire to the investigator.

结局指标
主要结局
Usability questionnaire
时间窗: 6 months
Usability of the follow-up passes (intervention and control) will be evaluated in primary care. In a pilot study the usability questionnaire was evaluated. The patient hands over the follow-up pass together with the questionnaire at each appointment (twice) at the family doctor. A stamped envelope to return the questionnaire is included. Family doctors will be asked to complete a series of actions regarding the content of the follow-up passes. Each action will be rated in a 5 point likert scale. An average score will be calculated for each question.
