- Abstract
Summary: Self‐management interventions (SMIs) may improve disease management in adults living with obesity. We formulated evidence‐based recommendations for SMIs within the context of the COMPAR‐EU project. The multidisciplinary panel selected critical outcomes based on the COMPAR‐EU core outcome set and established decision thresholds for each outcome. Recommendations were informed by systematic reviews of effects, cost‐effectiveness, and a contextual assessment. To assess the certainty of the evidence and formulate the recommendations, we used the GRADE approach guidance. Overall, SMIs were deemed to have a small impact, but the absence of harmful effects and potential cumulative benefits indicated a favourable balance of effects, despite low certainty. SMIs showed variations in structure, intensity, and resource utilisation, but overall are likely to be cost‐effective. Adapting SMIs to local contexts would enhance equity, acceptability, and feasibility, considering patients' values, and availability of resources and teamwork. Consequently, the panel made conditional recommendations favouring SMIs over usual care. The rigorous and explicit recommendations demonstrated the effectiveness of SMIs for adults living with obesity. However, the gaps in the literature influenced the panel to make only conditional recommendations in favour of SMIs. Further research is needed to strengthen the evidence base and improve recommendations' certainty and applicability.
