One of the side effects of this procedure is compensatory sweating (CS).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Objective\u2003The aim of our study was to evaluate the influence of body mass index (BMI) on CS in patients after TS due to palmar hyperhidrosis.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Methods\u2003Data from 157 patients with palmar hyperhidrosis who underwent TS were collected. The patients were subsequently divided in two groups according to their initial BMI: group A, BMI\u2009&lt;\u200925 kg\/m2, and group B, BMI\u2009\u2265\u200925 kg\/m2. Objective (gravimetry) and subjective (VAS) measurements of the intensity of hyperhidrosis were taken from the patients' bodies prior to surgery, as well as 3 and 12 months after TS.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003Average palmar hyperhidrosis levels before the surgery did not differ significantly between the two groups (238.65 vs. 190.15; p\u2009=\u20090.053). A statistically significant decrease in palmar hyperhidrosis was noted in both groups, both 3 and 12 months after surgery (238.65 vs. 11.86 vs. 13.5; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05, and 190.15 vs. 16.67 vs. 11.81; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05, respectively). The intensity of sweating over the abdomino-lumbar area differed significantly between the groups before the surgery, both in subjective (1.71 vs. 3.61; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) and objective (13.57 vs. 35.95; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) evaluations. Three months after surgical intervention, an intensification of CS was observed in both the groups; however, no statistically significant differences were observed between the two sets of patients (VAS: 4.58 vs. 5.16; p\u2009=\u20090.38; gravimetry: 33.87 vs. 53.89; p\u2009=\u20090.12). Twelve months after TS, CS was higher in the group with an initial BMI \u2265 25 kg\/m2, both in subjective and objective evaluations (3.23 vs. 4.94; p\u2009=\u20090.03 and 18.08 vs. 80.21; p\u2009=\u20090.026, respectively).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003Patients with a BMI\u2009\u2265\u200925 kg\/m2 experience more severe CS after TS, both in subjective and objective evaluations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0037-1599797","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,10]],"date-time":"2017-03-10T23:50:58Z","timestamp":1489189858000},"page":"497-502","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Influence of Body Mass Index on Compensatory Sweating in Patients after Thoracic Sympathectomy due to Palmar Hyperhidrosis"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"65","author":[{"given":"Natalia","family":"Cwalina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Gdanski Uniwersytet Medyczny Ringgold Standard Institution, Medical University of Gdansk, Gdansk, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Stefaniak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General, Endocrine and Transplant Surgery, Gdanski Uniwersytet Medyczny, Ringgold Standard Institution, Gdansk, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lukasz","family":"Dobosz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General, Endocrine and Transplant Surgery, Gdanski Uniwersytet Medyczny, Ringgold Standard Institution, Gdansk, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,10]]},"container-title":["The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0037-1599797.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,19]],"date-time":"2017-12-19T11:02:52Z","timestamp":1513681372000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0037-1599797"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,10]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"06","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,6]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,9]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0037-1599797","relation":{},"ISSN":["0171-6425","1439-1902"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0171-6425","type":"print"},{"value":"1439-1902","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,10]]}}}
