Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Aim Obesity is a complex, progressive and relapsing chronic disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality, including breast cancer. Bariatric surgery is the single most efficacious treatment modality for obesity. This review examined the prevalence of breast cancer diagnosis in those that undergo bariatric surgery, as well as the effect of menopausal status on breast cancer prevalence in those that undergo bariatric surgery. Method Our review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines; involving the search of databases including Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). Statistical analysis was performed using Review Manager (Revman) Version 5.4. Results A total of 22,88003 patients were included in the analysis. There was a statistically significant risk reduction in breast cancer risk in those that underwent bariatric surgery (RR 0.58 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.46, 0.72, p <0.001) across all Fourteen study groups. There was significant heterogeneity across the studies (Chi2= 358 p < 0.00001, I2 = 96%). There was no statistically significant reduction in premenopausal breast cancer risk (RR 0.88 95% CI 0.74, 1.04) or in the postmenopausal cohort (RR 0.46 CI 95% 0.18, 1.19). Conclusions Bariatric surgery results in a statistically significant reduction in breast cancer incidence. Additionally, we have found that bariatric surgery may reduce the incidence of both pre and postmenopausal breast cancer, although the four studies analysed failed to achieve statistical significance and further evaluation regarding the role of menopausal status on breast cancer incidence in those that undergo a bariatric procedure is required.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
