DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): LABS was conceived to address important issues in bariatric surgery and metabolism in adults, exploring relationships of patient characteristics, clinical conditions, serologic and genetic markers, and clinical, psychosocial and health economic outcomes. The primary achievements of LABS have been establishing a research consortium and its infrastructure; defining domains of exploration, specific research questions and an effective study design to efficiently address those questions; identifying appropriate metrics; designing and implementing a web-based data collection system and an extensive database; completing a cohort of over 5000 participants to study the short-term safety of bariatric surgery; enrolling approximately 2000 participants into a 2400 person cohort intended to address longer term safety and efficacy; and implementing 2 substudies. The Data Coordinating Center (DCC) provides logistical and administrative support and expertise in database management, website construction and maintenance, computer systems, epidemiology, biostatistics, and methodology. During this proposed continuation of LABS, the DCC will continue to support the consortium in all aspects of study design, conduct, analysis, logistics, and administration. This includes maintaining the distributed data entry and database management systems; maintaining contact with the NIDDK-supported biospecimen and data repositories; administering a subcontract with a Central Laboratory if necessary; assisting the study pathologist with respect to biopsy specimen tracking and data collection; maintaining and improving the study website that has public, private, participant and systems areas; providing logistical support to the Clinical Centers, NIDDK Project Scientist, committees and subcommittees, central facilities, and Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB); and analyzing and reporting study results to better inform the research and public communities regarding long-term outcomes following bariatric surgery. Obesity is a major public health problem expected to increase in the future. Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective long term therapy. This multi-center consortium was created to "facilitate coordinated clinical, epidemiological, and behavioral research in...bariatric surgery". The data coordinating center provides logistical and scientific support, and developed the core database.

描述（由申请人提供）： 实验室被构想以解决成人减肥手术和代谢中的重要问题，探索患者特征，临床状况，血清学和遗传标志物以及临床，社会心理和健康经济成果的关系。实验室的主要成就一直在建立一个研究财团及其基础设施。定义勘探领域，特定的研究问题和有效的研究设计，以有效解决这些问题；确定适当的指标；设计和实施基于Web的数据收集系统和广泛的数据库；完成了5000多名参与者的队列，以研究减肥手术的短期安全；将大约2000名参与者招募成2400人队列，旨在解决长期安全和效力；并实施2个子。数据协调中心（DCC）在数据库管理，网站构建和维护，计算机系统，流行病学，生物统计学和方法方面提供后勤和行政支持和专业知识。在实验室的拟议延续期间，DCC将继续在研究设计，行为，分析，物流和管理的各个方面支持该联盟。这包括维护分布式数据输入和数据库管理系统；保持与NIDDK支持的生物测量和数据存储库的接触；如有必要，请与中央实验室进行分包合同；协助研究病理学家就活检标本跟踪和数据收集；维护和改进具有公共，私人，参与者和系统领域的研究网站； NIDDK项目科学家，委员会和小组委员会，中央设施以及数据与安全监测委员会（DSMB）为临床中心提供后勤支持；并分析和报告研究结果，以更好地为研究和公共社区提供有关减肥手术后的长期结局的信息。 肥胖是预计将来将增加的一个主要公共卫生问题。减肥手术目前是最有效的长期治疗。该多中心财团的创建是为了“促进了……减肥手术的协调临床，流行病学和行为研究”。数据协调中心提供后勤和科学支持，并开发了核心数据库。
