# Continuation of Teen Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (Teen-LABS), Biostatistics Research Center

> **NIH NIH UM1** · UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI · 2020 · $851,587

## Abstract

Abstract
This application requests renewal of the current grant supporting the Biostatistics Research
Center (BRC) for the Teen-LABS (TL) consortium. This multicenter, prospective, observational
study seeks to evaluate the risks and benefits of bariatric surgery in 242 consecutively recruited
adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery at the participating five clinical centers. By the end of
the current funding period (August 2016), most study subjects will have completed 5 years of
follow-up. With a funding renewal, the BRC continue to lead the data collection and management
and statistical analysis operations for the TL consortium. A renewal of funding will provide an
opportunity to collect and examine long-term outcomes of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve
gastrectomy, the most commonly used operations today. Collection of additional longitudinal
measures from years 6 to10 will importantly document durability of weight loss, comorbidity
resolution, quality of life, micronutrient status, and will identify long-term adverse events.
Continued collection of biospecimens will continue to drive new discovery by investigators utilizing
the ancillary studies mechanism. Addition of new measures to study bone health, cognitive
function, and behavioral patterns will further enhance the value of an extension of the study.
