Abstract
A total of 1013 individuals were invited to participate, with 55% (n = 559) accepting the survey on SEMA-WL usage.
- Users of SEMA-WL were predominantly female (78%, n = 434) and aged between 36-65 years (76%, n = 423).
- The median of users at treatment initiation was 36 (interquartile range [IQR] 32-40).
- Two in three users (70%, n = 393) personally requested their general practitioner to initiate treatment.
- Almost half (46%, n = 258) of the users expected treatment for a limited time, while only 11% (n = 64) anticipated lifelong treatment.
- Self-reported median weight loss was 5.3% (IQR 3.2-8.5) for users treated for less than 3 months, increasing to 17% (IQR 13-21) for those treated for over 5 months.
- More than half of users (59%, n = 330) reported experiencing side effects, with nausea (35%, n = 193) and constipation (29%, n = 160) being the most common.
