What this study is about

Multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of several chronic conditions, is a growing phenomenon that poses new challenges for clinicians and researchers. The association between a mental health disorder and a physical health disorder represents a particularly frequent subtype of multimorbidity and is associated with greater severity and higher consumption of care. It is essential and urgent to explore the specific pathophysiology of this subtype of multimorbidity in order to develop adapted therapeutic strategies. Psychiatric disorders, such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, attention deficit disorder and binge eating disorder, are common in people with obesity. For example, although most of these disorders may improve after bariatric surgery, some components of these disorders, such as emotional dysregulation and impulsivity, need to be addressed as they appear to be involved in the development of addiction and suicidality after bariatric surgery. Therefore, screening and vigilance of these risks appear increasingly necessary. To address this challenge, the BariaPsy databank aims to explore the screening of certain mental health disorders frequently observed in adults with obesity through an innovative approach that explores behaviors in the form of dimensions. It will help clinicians to quickly identify markers of certain disorders, thus helping them to further investigate the problem and provide personalized resources to their patient.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

The registry does not list a named intervention.

Primary outcomes

Binge Eating Disorder (BEDS-7)Baseline

A screening tool that has been designed to screen adults who may have binge eating disorder. The results indicate whether or not the test screens for binge eating behaviors (yes or no).

Binge Eating Scale (BES)Baseline

To assess the presence of certain binge eating behaviors that may be indicative of an eating disorder. The higher the score, the more binge eating behaviors is observed. The minimum score is 0 while the maximum score is 46. The final result allows to say if the person has an absent (less than 17), moderate (between 18 and 26) or severe (more than 27) binging level.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7)Baseline

A screening tool and severity measure for generalised anxiety disorder. The higher the score, the higher the level of anxiety. The minimum score is 0 and the maximum score is 21. The clinically significant score is 15.

Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)Baseline

The PHQ-9 is a multipurpose instrument for screening, monitoring and measuring the severity of depression. The higher the score, the more depressive symptoms are present. The minimum score is 0 and the maximum score is 27. It allows to evaluate if there is no depression (9 and less), a major depression (between 10 and 19) or a severe major depression (20 and more).

Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-5)Baseline

To evaluate the manifestations and behaviors of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder in adults. The higher the final score, the more evidence of ADHD is present. The minimum score is 6 and the maximum score is 30.

Modified Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 (mYFAS 2.0)Baseline

The mYFAS 2.0 was designed to assess food addiction using a shorter version than the YFAS 2.0.It assesses the symptoms of food addiction and the resulting distress and impaired functioning. The higher the level of symptoms, the more severe the food addiction. Impaired functioning and distress are scored from 0 to 2. Symptoms are scored from 0 to 11. If the functioning and distress score is 1 and above, the food addiction may be mild (2-3 symptoms), moderate (4-5 symptoms), or severe (6+ symptoms).

Impulsive Behavior Scale Short Form (UPPS-P)Baseline

Measurement of factors that can lead to impulsive behavior. There are five subscales: Positive Urgency, Negative Urgency, Lack of Premeditation, Lack of Perseverance, and Sensation Seeking. A higher score on the scale or subscale corresponds to a higher level of impulsivity. The minimum total score is 1 and the maximum total score is 4.
