Obesity in children and adolescents — evidence across compounds
Every compound the Institute assesses in obesity in children and adolescents, with its certainty rating.
§2Evidence across compounds
Every compound the Institute assesses in this indication, with the effect as recorded, the certainty rating and the contributing trials. Effects are reported on the anchor outcome where the contributing trials measured it and on the outcome the trial actually reported where they did not.
Table 1. Compounds assessed in obesity in children and adolescents, ordered by certainty.
| Compound | Effect as recorded | Interval as reported | Certainty | Trials |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LiraglutideGLP-1 receptor agonist (acylated, once-daily) | BMI z-score reduction of 0.22 versus 0.01 with placebo at 56 weeks | estimated difference −0.22 (95 % CI −0.37 to −0.08) | Moderate | 1 |
| SemaglutideGLP-1 receptor agonist (acylated, long-acting) | −16.1 % BMI at 68 weeks versus +0.6 % with placebo | estimated difference −16.7 percentage points (95 % CI −20.3 to −13.2) | Moderate | 1 |
| Estimates in this table are not on a common scale and must not be subtracted from one another. Where a comparison between two compounds has been made directly, it appears in a synthesis and not here. | ||||
