Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (12)
Change in Food Noise Questionnaire (FNQ) score
Food noise assessed retrospectively prior to Wegovy initiation and at data capture using the Food Noise Questionnaire (FNQ). The questionnaire evaluates intrusive and persistent food-related thoughts. Each item is scored 0-5, with a total score range of 0-20. Higher scores indicate greater food noise
At data capture (Day 1)
Change in Body Weight
Change in body weight (kg) from initiation of Wegovy to data capture. Weight measured prior to Wegovy initiation and at data collection.
At data capture (Day 1)
Health-Related Quality of Life Measured by EQ-5D-5L
Health-related quality of life assessed using the EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) index score. The EQ-5D-5L consists of 5 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale that ranges from 1 (no problems) to 5 (extreme problems). Higher index scores indicate better health-related quality of life.
At data capture (Day 1)
Health Status Measured by EQ Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS)
Participant-rated overall health status measured using the EQ-VAS. Scores range from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate better perceived health.
At data capture (Day 1)
Medication Adherence Measured by Adelphi Adherence Questionnaire (ADAQ)
Participant-reported adherence to Wegovy treatment assessed using the Adelphi Adherence Questionnaire (ADAQ). The overall adherence summary score ranges from 0 to 4, with lower scores indicating greater medication adherence.
At data capture (Day 1)
Number of Participant Satisfaction With Wegovy
Participant satisfaction with Wegovy treatment assessed as less than satisfied, satisfied, or more than satisfied according to perceived treatment performance relative to expectations.
At data capture (Day 1)
Change in Body Mass Index (BMI)
Change in body mass index (kg/m²) from Wegovy initiation to data capture will be reported
At data capture (Day 1)
Percent Change in Body Weight
Percentage change in body weight between Wegovy initiation and data capture will be reported.
At data capture (Day 1)
Number of Participants with Achievement of Weight-Loss Target
Participant-reported achievement of the predefined weight-loss goal (Yes/No). Participants may be classified as having reached or exceeded their target weight loss.
At data capture (Day 1)
Number of Participants who Concern About Future Weight Gain
Number of Participant concern regarding regaining weight after discontinuation of Wegovy treatment will be reported.
At data capture (Day 1)
Impact of Wegovy on Weight-Related Burden
Degree to which participants were bothered by their weight before starting Wegovy and at data capture after receiving Wegovy.
At data capture (Day 1)
Impact of Wegovy on Daily Life and Health Behaviours
Changes in work-life impact, cigarette smoking, shisha smoking, and alcohol consumption since initiation of Wegovy.
At data capture (Day 1)
Study Arms (1)
Obesity PLUS I disease specific programme (DSP)
Patients included in this study were those who had been diagnosed with overweight or obesity and had been initiated on Wegovy (semaglutide) at least 16 weeks prior to the date the DSP survey was conducted. This study is based on a retrospective analysis of existing physician-reported data collected through the DSP survey.
Interventions
This is a retrospective, non-interventional study; therefore, no intervention was administered as part of the study.
Eligibility Criteria
Participants receiving semaglutide for at least 16 weeks are included for secondary database analysis.
You may qualify if:
- Aged 18 years or older
- Currently receiving Wegovy for at least 16 weeks, who at initiation of Wegovy had either: BMI of more than or equal to (≥) 27 to less than (\<) 30 kilogram per meter square (kg/m\^2) with at least one weight-related comorbidity and BMI of ≥30 kg/m\^2
- Not currently involved in a clinical trial for overweight or obesity
You may not qualify if:
- \- This is a secondary database analysis
