After Bonn 1985, Hamburg 1995 and Berlin 2004, Munich is the fourth city in Germany to host an ESHRE Annual Meeting. Munich is known throughout the world as a dynamic and economically successful city in the southern part of Germany, with many traditional attractions. The Bavarian capital, set in a beautiful landscape, offers all the advantages you would expect of a leading international congress and exhibition venue in the heart of Europe. Art, culture, recreational activities and sightseeing provide enjoyable possibilities every day. Munich in the summer is a charming and exhilarating place. The venue chosen for this event is the ICM - International Congress Centre Munich - one of the most modern and successful congress centres in the world well equipped to satisfy all the requirements of an event such as our Annual Meeting. The ICM is about 20 minutes from the city centre by subway. Human reproduction remains a scientific field marked by continuous progress, remarkable advances and unique achievements. Under the common umbrella of reproductive science and medicine, ESHRE brings together experts from all over the world and will once again gather a distinguished international faculty to address and discuss the most recent information, controversies and future directions. However, the Annual Meeting is more than just a forum for exchange of knowledge. Munich is also an ideal place for meeting old and making new friends. The range of options for social programmes in the city is second to none. Welcome in Munich at ESHRE 2014!

Design Summary: The study used a prospective, observational cohort design in which the majority of the data are collected at the same time that routine clinical care of bariatric patients is occurring. Teen-LABS is an approved ancillary study of the LABS consortium, with the research methodology and instruments of the LABS-2 study for collection of longer term outcomes adapted for use in adolescents, including clinical assessments, detailed interviews, questionnaires, and laboratory tests at baseline, 30 days postoperatively, and at six months and annually following surgery. Adolescents were recruited prospectively from five clinical sites. Detailed data about the surgical procedure and peri- and postoperative care was collected by the investigators. Adjudication of pre-specified clinical events was performed by an independent committee in order to determine the relatedness of the events to the bariatric procedure. Biospecimens (serum, plasma, DNA, urine) were obtained to address hypotheses relevant to this study and to provide a resource for future biological studies.
