Sixteen experts from seven countries were selected to form the task force panel to ensure the representation of diverse perspectives. The panelists represented all the GCC countries (UAE, KSA, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman) and an international obesity scientist. All panelists were carefully selected to represent the region's diverse expertise and included endocrinologists, obesity medicine physicians, bariatric surgeons, and a clinical nutritionist. The task force held discussions through virtual and in-person meetings to review the gathered evidence, collaboratively draft a set of statements on various aspects of PBH management and challenges, and organize them into relevant sections. The certainty of evidence for each statement was assessed using the GRADE methodology. A consolidated visual management algorithm was also created and is provided as a supplementary file.
