PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 52 weeks

Population: Complete cases population The complete cases population is defined as all randomised participants who have data available for the outcome being analysed, according to the study group to which they were randomised at baseline. Participants who had bariatric surgery during the study period were excluded from this population.

Proportion of participants with severe and complicated obesity achieving weight loss of ≥15% at 52 weeks with the use of a targeted prescribing pathway (i.e. use of LIRA 3mg according to a pre-specified protocol in combination with standard care provided in Tier 3 services) versus standard care alone in a Tier 3 service.

Population: Intention to Treat population (ITT). The ITT population was all randomised participants and they were analysed according to the treatment group to which they were randomised at baseline. Missing outcome data were imputed. Participants who had bariatric surgery during the study period were included in this population.

Derived binary indicator showing whether participant stopped treatment with liraglutide 3mg by 52 weeks because of adverse effects (i.e., the main reason for stopping was listed as 'adverse event' or 'unable to tolerate drug'). This number does not include people who stopped treatment due to a stopping rule or reason other than an adverse effect. Only defined for participants who were currently eligible for liraglutide 3mg treatment. Participants may have stopped treatment due to adverse effects at an earlier timepoint and so the total number of 'yes' and 'no' responses is higher than the number eligible for liraglutide 3mg at the analysis time-point, i.e. if a participant stopped at week 16 due to adverse events then they would still be included in the 'yes' response.

Missing outcome data were imputed. Participants who had bariatric surgery during the study period were included in this population.

Derived binary indicator showing whether participant was compliant with liraglutide 3mg treatment up to 52 weeks. This was defined using the questionnaire answers as detailed in Appendix 7 of the SAP, and so includes all participants (i.e., not only those who attended the visit) up to the point when they stopped treatment or withdrew from the study.

Timeframe: 104 weeks

Population: Intention to Treat population (ITT). The ITT population was all randomised participants and they were analysed according to the treatment group to which they were randomised at baseline. Missing outcome data were imputed. Participants who had bariatric surgery during the study period were included in this population.

Glycaemic status, as determined by plasma glucose concentration. The glycaemic status definition states that a participant cannot be categorised as 'diabetes remission' if they are currently using liraglutide 3mg, which means that the absence of diabetes remission cases at follow-up in the intervention group is partly by definition of glycaemic status.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 104 weeks

Population: Complete cases population The complete cases population is defined as all randomised participants who have data available for the outcome being analysed, according to the study group to which they were randomised at baseline. Participants who had bariatric surgery during the study period will be excluded from this population.

Glycaemic status, as determined by plasma glucose concentration. The glycaemic status definition states that a participant cannot be categorised as 'diabetes remission' if they are currently using liraglutide 3mg, which means that the absence of diabetes remission cases at follow-up in the intervention group is partly by definition of glycaemic status.
