Efficacia della Chirurgia Metabolica e Bariatrica per i Pazienti con Obesità e Asma: Una Revisione Sistematica e Meta-Analisi

Obesity is a modifiable risk factor for asthma worldwide and is associated with poor asthma control. Weight loss is an effective intervention for patients with obesity and asthma; however, a consistent association between metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) and asthma in patients with obesity is lacking. To assess the effects of MBS in patients with obesity and asthma, we conducted a meta-analysis of data from inception to February 2026. Thirty-three observational studies including 3731 patients were analyzed. A total of 47% of patients achieved discontinuation of asthma medication (95% CI, 0.38-0.56; p < 0.05), and 58% of patients achieved clinical asthma remission (95% CI, 0.45-0.70; p < 0.0
