Childhood obesity is a major public health concern. However, predictors of successful outcomes for patients treated at multidisciplinary community hospital–based pediatric weight management programs remain poorly understood. We conducted a retrospective analysis to evaluate 633 pediatric patients from ages 2 to 18 at a tertiary pediatric weight management program in 2018. Predictors were evaluated in univariate comparisons, and significant variables were included in a linear regression analysis to identify factors associated with improvements in body mass index relative to the age- and sex-specific 95th percentile body mass index (%BMIp95). We found that male sex and increased number of clinical visits were independently and significantly associated with reductions in %BMIp95. Baseline %BMIp95, age, preferred language, and insurance status were not significant predictors of outcomes. A total of 398 (63%) patients experienced a decrease in %BMIp95 from baseline to follow-up. One quarter (24.8%) of patients experienced a decrease in %BMIp95 of at least 5%, a threshold associated with cardiometabolic improvements. Further, we observed significant improvements in cholesterol, triglycerides, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, HbA1c, and waist circumference. These findings support a potential need for sex- and gender-tailored care as well as the benefits of increased access to pediatric weight management programs.
