Increased residual gastric content was found in 40% of patients in the semaglutide group compared to 3% in the non-semaglutide group.
The significant difference in residual gastric content suggests that semaglutide may pose a risk during surgery, warranting careful assessment.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Increased residual gastric content was found in 43/107 patients (40%) in the semaglutide group and 3/113 (3%) in the non‐semaglutide group (p < 0.001).
Why this rating
Based on the prospective observational study design.
