Inpatient Obesity: Can Weight Loss Intervention During Hospitalization Lead to Sustained Weight Loss at Six Months Following Discharge?
In this study we sought to determine whether inpatient weight loss counseling with post
discharge phone follow-up would result in weight loss at six months. Secondary endpoints
included weight change from baseline, changes in waist-to-hip ratios, assessment of weight
perceptions and changes in patient reported health outcome measures. To our knowledge, this
is the first randomized trial designed to evaluate the effects of an obesity intervention
with post-discharge follow-up in an inpatient general medicine population.
