Abstract

At 12 months, patients treated with semaglutide experienced a 12.92% mean weight loss compared to 8.77% with liraglutide.

  • Semaglutide is associated with greater weight loss compared to liraglutide in adults with post-metabolic and bariatric surgery weight recurrence.
  • The adjusted odds of achieving at least 10% weight loss are 2.34 times higher for semaglutide users than for liraglutide users.
  • For achieving at least 15% weight loss, the odds are 2.55 times greater with semaglutide compared to liraglutide.
  • Weight-loss effectiveness of semaglutide does not vary significantly across different subgroups, including age, sex, and type of bariatric surgery.
