Advances in Metabolic Bariatric Surgeries and Endoscopic Therapies: A Comprehensive Narrative Review of Diabetes Remission Outcomes.

: Type 2 diabetes (T2D), closely associated with obesity, contributes to increased morbidity and mortality due to complications such as cardiometabolic disease. This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of metabolic and bariatric surgeries (MBS) and endoscopic bariatric therapies (EBTs) in achieving diabetes remission and to examine key predictors influencing remission outcomes. : This review synthesizes data from studies on MBS and EBT outcomes, focusing on predictors for diabetes remission such as preoperative insulin use, diabetes duration, HbA1c, and C-peptide levels. Additionally, predictive scoring systems, including the Individualized Metabolic Surgery (IMS), DiaRem, Advanced-DiaRem, ABCD, and Robert et al. scores, were analyzed for their utility in forecasting remission likelihood. : Key predictors of T2D remission include shorter diabetes duration, lower HbA1c, and higher C-peptide levels, while prolonged insulin use, and higher insulin doses are associated with lower remission rates. Scoring models like IMS and DiaRem demonstrate that lower scores correlate with a higher likelihood of remission, especially for procedures such as Roux-En-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). RYGB generally shows higher remission rates compared to sleeve gastrectomy (SG), particularly among patients with mild disease severity, while EBTs like ESG and IGBs contribute 5-20% total weight loss (TWL) and moderate glycemic control improvements. : Both MBS and EBTs are effective for T2D management, with predictive scoring models aiding in individualized patient selection to optimize remission outcomes. Further research to validate these predictive tools across diverse populations could enhance treatment planning for both surgical and endoscopic interventions.
