Abstract:
Patient and public involvement (PPI) has gained increased attention in research circles. The consistency of PPI reporting has been addressed by the development of validated checklists such as GRIPP and GRIPP2. The primary aim of this study was to identify the incidence of PPI reporting in bariatric research. MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, and CINAHL/Cochrane databases were searched for publications between 1st January 2018 to 31st December 2021 for "bariatric surgery" OR "weight loss surgery" OR "obesity surgery" AND "randomized controlled trials." Ninety studies fulfilled exclusion criteria; two studies reported direct PPI involvement, one indirectly used PPI and one reported not using PPI methods. No other study made direct or indirect mention of PPI. Concluding, that GRIPP2 and PPI reporting in bariatric surgery trials is lacking.
