Note: BMI = body mass index, CI = confidence interval, OR = odds ratio. *Parametric time-to-event regression with log-normal hazards. Dependent variable was time-to-surgery. Patients who did not undergo bariatric surgery were censored at their last assessment date. Patients who did not attend orientation were excluded from the analysis. †Baseline covariate values: female, no substance use, 19 years of age, BMI between 35 and 39 kg/m2, lived within a few kilometres of the bariatric centre, and referred or attended orientation in Period 1. ‡Binary variable indicating if a patient attended orientation in Period 2. §p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
