Documentation

This document desribes formulas and mechanisms of evaluation used in data processing.

Weight and weight/related information

  • BMI: [weight/kg]/([height/m]2)
  • EW (Excess weight): [weight/kg] - (22.5*[height/m]2)
  • % Excess Weight loss: 100*([initial_EW]-[current_EW]) / [initial_EW]
  • % Excess BMI loss: 100*(([initial_BMI]-25) - ([current_BMI]-25)) / ([initial_BMI]-25)

Comorbidities

The doctor has these options when submitting new check-up:
  • particular comorbidity: worse / the same / improved / resolved;
  • comorbidities in general: worse / the same / improved / some serious went off, other got better / all serious went off.
The final value on the output page represents number of patients, who has their last check-up with the desired option.

Treatment success according to B.A.R.O.S.

International scoring system of obesity surgery BAROS (Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System) watches:
  1. progess of weight:
    • weight increase: -1 point;
    • weight descrease 0%-75% Excess weight: +([EW]/25) points;
    • weight descrease more than 75% Excess weight: +3 points;
  2. comorbidities in general:
    • worse: -1 point;
    • the same: 0 point;
    • improve: +1 point;
    • some serious went off, other got better: +2 points;
    • all serious went off: +3 points;
  3. complication:
    • serious: -1 point;
    • easy: -0.2 point;
    • without complications: 0 point;
  4. reoperation:

    • no: 0 point;
  5. psychological questionnaire (QoL): for each of six cathegories (self-feeling, physical activity, social, work, sex, eating) there is a range from -0.5 to +0.5 points.
The point value is assigned with appropriate word rating:
  • -7 to 0 : failure;
  • 0 to +1 : unsatisfying result;
