Long and Short of It: Early Response Predicts Longer-Term Outcomes in Pediatric Weight Management.


ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to examine whether 1-month BMI improvement is predictive of superior 6- and 12-month BMI changes in a national sample of youth in pediatric weight management treatment. METHODS:Participants were 4- to 18-year-olds from the Pediatric Obesity Weight Evaluation Registry, a prospective study collecting data from 31 pediatric weight management programs across the United States. Response at 1 month was defined as ? 3% BMI reduction; success at 6 and 12 months was defined as ? 5% BMI reduction from baseline. Analyses used linear and logistic regression with robust variance estimation. RESULTS:Primary analyses were completed with 687 participants (mean age 12.2 years). One-month responders demonstrated significant improvements in BMI compared with nonresponders at 6 months (BMI, -2.05 vs. 0.05; %BMI, -5.81 vs. 0.23; P?
