RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Obesity and prescription opioid misuse are important public health concerns in the United States. A common intersection occurs when women with obesity undergo cesarean birth and receive narcotic medications for postpartum pain. OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between obesity and inpatient opioid use after cesarean birth. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of patients that underwent cesarean birth in 2015-2018. Primary outcome was post-cesarean delivery opioid consumption starting 24 h after delivery measured as morphine milliequivalents per hour (MME/h). Secondary outcome was MME/h consumption in the highest quartile of all subjects. Opioid consumption was compared between three BMI groups: non-obese BMI 18.5-29.9 kg/m2; obese BMI 30.0-39.9 kg/m2; and morbidly obese BMI ≥ 40.0 kg/m2 using univariable and multivariable analyses. RESULTS: Of 1620 patients meeting inclusion criteria, 496 (30.6%) were in the non-obese group, 753 (46.5%) were in the obese group, and 371 (22.9%) were in the morbidly obese group. In the univariate analysis, patients with obesity and morbid obesity required higher MME/h than patients in the non-obese group [1.3 MME/h (IQR 0.1, 2.4) vs. 1.6 MME/h (IQR 0.5, 2.8) vs. 1.8 MME/h (IQR 0.8, 2.9), for non-obese, obese, and morbidly obese groups respectively, p < 0.001]. In the multivariable analysis, this association did not persist. In contrast, subjects in the obese and morbidly obese groups were more likely to be in the highest quartile of MME/h opioid consumption compared with those in the non-obese group (23.5% vs. 48.1% vs. 28.4%, p < 0.001, respectively); with aOR 1.42 (95% CI 1.07-1.89, p = 0.016) and aOR 1.60 (95% CI 1.16-2.22, p = 0.005) for patients with obesity and morbid obesity, respectively. CONCLUSION: Maternal obesity was not associated with higher hourly MME consumption during inpatient stay after cesarean birth. However, patients with obesity and morbid obesity were significantly more likely to be in the top quartile of MME hourly consumption.

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an indicator of poor prognosis in patients with sepsis and can increase the risk of stroke and mortality. Data on the impact of severe obesity on the outcomes of sepsis complicated by AF remains poorly understood. METHODS: National Inpatient Sample (2018) and ICD-10 CM codes were used to identify the principal sepsis admissions with AF. We assessed comorbidities and outcomes of sepsis in people without obesity (BMI < 30) vs. non-severe obesity (BMI 30-35) and severe obesity (BMI > 35) cohorts. We also did a subgroup analysis to further stratify obesity based on metabolic health and analyzed the findings. The primary outcomes were the prevalence and adjusted odds of AF, AF-associated stroke, and all-cause mortality in sepsis by obesity status. Multivariable regression analyses were adjusted for patient- and hospital-level characteristics and comorbidities. RESULTS: Our main analysis showed that of the 1,345,595 sepsis admissions, the severe obesity cohort was the youngest (median age 59 vs. non-severe 64 and people without obesity 68 years). Patients with obesity, who were often female, were more likely to have hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure, chronic pulmonary disease, and chronic kidney disease. The crude prevalence of AF was highest in non-severe obesity (19.9%). The adjusted odds of AF in non-severe obesity (OR 1.21; 95% CI:1.16-1.27) and severe obesity patients with sepsis (OR 1.49; 95% CI:1.43-1.55) were significantly higher than in people without obesity (p < 0.001). Paradoxically, the rates of AF-associated stroke (1%, 1.5%, and 1.7%) and in-hospital mortality (3.3%, 4.9%, and 7.1%) were lowest in the severe obesity cohort vs. the non-severe and people without obesity cohorts, respectively. On multivariable regression analyses, the all-cause mortality revealed lower odds in sepsis-AF patients with severe obesity (OR 0.78; 95% CI:0.67-0.91) or non-severe obesity (OR 0.63; 95% CI:0.54-0.74) vs. people without obesity. There was no significant difference in stroke risk. CONCLUSIONS: A higher prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities can be linked to a higher risk of AF in people with obesity and sepsis. Paradoxically, lower rates of stroke and all-cause mortality secondary to AF in people with obesity and sepsis warrant further investigation.

BACKGROUND: Metabolic bariatric surgery the reduces risk of new-onset type 2 diabetes in individuals with obesity, but it is unclear whether the benefit varies by sex, age, or socioeconomic status. The aim was to assess the risk of new-onset type 2 diabetes after metabolic bariatric surgery in these subgroups. METHODS: The Finnish Public Sector study, a follow-up study with matched controls nested in a large employee cohort, included patients without type 2 diabetes and with a diagnosis of obesity or self-reported BMI of at least 35â kg/m2. For each patient who had laparoscopic metabolic bariatric surgery (2008-2016), two propensity-score matched controls were selected. New-onset type 2 diabetes was ascertained from linked records from national health registries. RESULTS: The study included a total of 917 patients and 1811 matched controls with obesity. New-onset type 2 diabetes was diagnosed in 15 of the patients who had metabolic bariatric surgery (4.1 per 1000 person-years) and 164 controls (20.2 per 1000 person-years). The corresponding rate ratio (RR) was 0.20 (95% c.i. 0.12 to 0.35) and the rate difference (RD) was -16.1 (-19.8 to -12.3) per 1000 person-years. The risk reduction was more marked in individuals of low socioeconomic status (RR 0.10 (0.04 to 0.26) and RD -20.6 (-25.6 to -15.5) per 1000 person-years) than in those with higher socioeconomic status (RR 0.35 (0.18 to 0.66) and RD -11.5 (-16.9 to -6.0) per 1000 person-years) (Pinteraction = 0.017). No differences were observed between sexes or age groups. CONCLUSION: Metabolic bariatric surgery was associated with a reduced risk of new-onset type 2 diabetes in men and women and in all age groups. The greatest benefit was observed in individuals of low socioeconomic status.
Metabolic bariatric surgery reduces the risk of new-onset type 2 diabetes in individuals with obesity or severe obesity. The risk of new-onset type 2 diabetes after metabolic bariatric surgery varies between socioeconomic status subgroups. In this prospective study, new-onset type 2 diabetes occurred in 1.6% of 917 patients who underwent metabolic bariatric surgery and 9.1% of 1811 propensity score-matched controls. Risk reduction was more marked in individuals of low socioeconomic status. There were no differences between sex or age groups. The reduced risk of new-onset type 2 diabetes after metabolic bariatric surgery emphasizes the need to increase access to treatment in patients with severe obesity. As the preventive effect was most pronounced in individuals of low socioeconomic status associated with both greater burden of disease and worse access to healthcare, the findings need to be taken into account in health policies to reduce health inequalities.

BACKGROUND: With the Covid-19 pandemic reducing the capacity to perform elective bariatric surgical cases, a multidisciplinary approach to reducing length of stay has been essential to continue providing this service. In conjunction with the use of our local ERAS protocols, same day discharge (SDD) and early next day discharge (NDD) for bariatric surgery is becoming more of a reality. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of our new protocols targeted at reducing length of stay (LOS) for our bariatric surgery patients during the pandemic. Secondary outcomes included comparisons of readmission and complications compared to baseline data. METHODS: The MBSAQIP data set was analyzed identifying patients who underwent laparoscopic roux-en- Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) from April to November 2021. Mean LOS and complication rates including re-admission in this baseline group were documented. This was compared to a cohort who underwent the surgeries between December 2021 and February 2022 under our new protocols for early discharge. RESULTS: 195 patients underwent bariatric surgery in the baseline group and 87 patients in the early discharge cohort were included. There was a statistically significant decrease in mean LOS comparing baseline group (34.5 h) and next day PACU discharges (25 h) with P = 0.004. No increase in complication rate from the early discharge cohort against the baseline group. (P = 0.014). CONCLUSION: SDD and NDD in carefully selected bariatric surgery patients is feasible with good outcomes. With ERAS protocols as a foundation and a multidisciplinary approach, this can be achieved in spite of pressures placed on bariatric units by the pandemic.

BACKGROUND: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) increased in popularity after 2010 but recent data suggest it has concerning rates of gastroesophageal reflux and need for conversions. This study aims to evaluate recent trends in the utilization of bariatric procedures, associated complications, and conversions using an administrative claims database in the United States. METHODS: We included adults who had bariatric procedures from 2000 to 2020 with continuous enrollment for at least 6 months in the MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters database. Index bariatric procedures and subsequent revisions or conversions were identified using CPT codes. Baseline comorbidities and postoperative complications were identified with ICD-9-CM and ICD-10 codes. Cumulative incidences of complications were estimated at 30-days, 6-months, and 1-year and compared with stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighted Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS: We identified 349,411 bariatric procedures and 5521 conversions or revisions. The sampled SG volume appeared to begin declining in 2018 while Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) remained steady. Compared to RYGB, SG was associated with lower 1-year incidence [aHR, (95% CIs)] for 30-days readmission [0.65, (0.64-0.68)], dehydration [0.75, (0.73-0.78)], nausea or vomiting [0.70, (0.69-0.72)], dysphagia [0.55, (0.53-0.57)], and gastrointestinal hemorrhage [0.43, (0.40-0.46)]. Compared to RYGB, SG was associated with higher 1-year incidence [aHR, (95% CIs)] of esophagogastroduodenoscopy [1.13, (1.11-1.15)], heartburn [1.38, (1.28-1.49)], gastritis [4.28, (4.14-4.44)], portal vein thrombosis [3.93, (2.82-5.48)], and hernias of all types [1.36, (1.34-1.39)]. There were more conversions from SG to RYGB than re-sleeving procedures. SG had a significantly lower 1-year incidence of other non-revisional surgical interventions when compared to RYGB. CONCLUSIONS: The overall volume of bariatric procedures within the claims database appeared to be declining over the last 10 years. The decreasing proportion of SG and the increasing proportion of RYGB suggest the specific complications of SG may be driving this trend. Clearly, RYGB should remain an important tool in the bariatric surgeon's armamentarium.

PURPOSE: To examine feto-maternal characteristics and outcomes of morbidly obese pregnant patients who conceived with assisted reproductive technology (ART). METHODS: This cross-sectional study queried the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's National Inpatient Sample. Study population was 48,365 patients with ART pregnancy from January 2012 to September 2015, including non-obesity (n = 45,125, 93.3%), class I-II obesity (n = 2445, 5.1%), and class III obesity (n = 795, 1.6%). Severe maternal morbidity at delivery per the Centers for Disease and Control Prevention definition was assessed with multivariable binary logistic regression model. RESULTS: Patients in the class III obesity group were more likely to have a hypertensive disorder (adjusted-odds ratio (aOR) 3.03, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.61-3.52), diabetes mellitus (aOR 3.08, 95%CI 2.64-3.60), large for gestational age neonate (aOR 3.57, 95%CI 2.77-4.60), and intrauterine fetal demise (aOR 2.03, 95%CI 1.05-3.94) compared to those in the non-obesity group. Increased risks of hypertensive disease (aOR 1.35, 95%CI 1.14-1.60) and diabetes mellitus (aOR 1.39, 95%CI 1.17-1.66) in the class III obesity group remained robust even compared to the class I-II obesity group. After controlling for priori selected clinical, pregnancy, and delivery factors, patients with class III obesity were 70% more likely to have severe maternal morbidity at delivery compared to non-obese patients (8.2% vs 4.4%, aOR 1.70, 95%CI 1.30-2.22) whereas those with class I-II obesity were not (4.1% vs 4.4%, aOR 0.87, 95%CI 0.70-1.08). CONCLUSIONS: The results of this national-level analysis in the United States suggested that morbidly obese pregnant patients conceived with ART have increased risks of adverse fetal and maternal outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: To characterize incidence and outcomes for bariatric surgery patients who give birth. BACKGROUND: Patients of childbearing age comprise 65% of bariatric surgery patients in the United States, yet data on how often patients conceive and obstetric outcomes are limited. METHODS: Using the IBM MarketScan database, we performed a retrospective cohort study of female patients ages 18 to 52 undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass from 2011 to 2017. We determined the incidence of births in the first 2 years after bariatric surgery using Kaplan-Meier estimates. We then restricted the cohort to those with a full 2-year follow-up to examine obstetric outcomes and bariatric-related reinterventions. We reported event rates of adverse obstetric outcomes and delivery type. Adverse obstetric outcomes include pregnancy complications, severe maternal morbidity, and delivery complications. We performed multivariable logistic regression to examine associations between birth and risk of reinterventions. RESULTS: Of 69,503 patients who underwent bariatric surgery, 1464 gave birth. The incidence rate was 2.5 births per 100 patients in the 2 years after surgery. Overall, 85% of births occurred within 21 months after surgery. For 38,922 patients with full 2-year follow-up, adverse obstetric event rates were 4.5% for gestational diabetes and 14.2% for hypertensive disorders. In all, 48.5% were first-time cesarean deliveries. Almost all reinterventions during pregnancy were biliary. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed no association between postbariatric birth and reintervention rate (odds ratio: 0.93, 95% confidence interval: 0.78-1.12). CONCLUSIONS: In this first national US cohort, we find giving birth was common in the first 2 years after bariatric surgery and was not associated with an increased risk of reinterventions. Clinicians should consider shifting the dialogue surrounding pregnancy after surgery to shared decision-making with maternal safety as one component.

BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery can cause type 2 diabetes (diabetes) remission for individuals with comorbid obesity, yet utilization is <1%. Surgery eligibility is currently limited to body mass index (BMI) ≥35 kg/m 2 , though the American Diabetes Association recommends expansion to BMI ≥30 kg/m 2 . OBJECTIVE: We estimate the individual-level net social value benefits of diabetes remission through bariatric surgery and compare the population-level effects of expanding eligibility alone versus improving utilization for currently eligible individuals. METHODS: Using microsimulation, we quantified the net social value (difference in lifetime health/economic benefits and costs) of bariatric surgery-related diabetes remission for Americans with obesity and diabetes. We compared projected lifetime surgical outcomes to conventional management at individual and population levels for current utilization (1%) and eligibility (BMI ≥35 kg/m 2 ) and expansions of both (>1%, and BMI ≥30 kg/m 2 ). RESULTS: The per capita net social value of bariatric surgery-related diabetes remission was $264,670 (95% confidence interval: $234,527-294,814) under current and $227,114 (95% confidence interval: $205,300-248,928) under expanded eligibility, an 11.1% and 9.16% improvement over conventional management. Quality-adjusted life expectancy represented the largest gains (current: $194,706; expanded: $169,002); followed by earnings ($51,395 and $46,466), and medical savings ($41,769 and $34,866) balanced against the surgery cost ($23,200). Doubling surgical utilization for currently eligible patients provides higher population gains ($34.9B) than only expanding eligibility at current utilization ($29.0B). CONCLUSIONS: Diabetes remission following bariatric surgery improves healthy life expectancy and provides net social benefit despite high procedural costs. Per capita benefits appear greater among currently eligible individuals. Therefore, policies that increase utilization may produce larger societal value than expanding eligibility criteria alone.

INTRODUCTION: Obesity is associated with a higher risk of cardiac arrhythmias. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a common bariatric surgery with beneficial effects on weight loss and comorbidities. The study aimed to investigate the prevalence of arrhythmias during maximal exercise testing in patients with moderate-severe obesity and to evaluate the impact of SG on these arrhythmic events. METHODS: All patients with moderate or severe obesity who were considered suitable candidates for SG between June 2015 and September 2020 were recruited. Each patient underwent three incremental, maximal, ECG-monitored cardiopulmonary exercise test 1 month before and 6 and 12 months after SG; the frequency and complexity of ventricular premature beats (VPBs) and atrial premature beats (APBs) have been evaluated during rest, exercise and recovery phases. RESULTS: Fifty patients with severe obesity (BMI 46.39 ± 7.89 kg/m2) were included in the study. After SG, patients presented a decreased BMI (34.15 ± 6.25 kg/m2 at 6 months post-SG and 31.87 ± 5.99 kg/m2 at 12 months post-SG). At 6 months post-SG, an increase in VPBs, mainly during the recovery phase, was observed. At 12 months post-SG, a reduction in VPBs compared with the 6 months evaluation was showed. CONCLUSION: Although in the early post-surgical phase the risk of exercise-induced arrhythmias may be higher, SG does not seem to increase the occurrence of arrhythmias in the long-term. No life-threating arrhythmias were found during post-SG evaluations.

BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether annual hospital volume of bariatric surgery influences the long-term survival of individuals who undergo surgery for severe obesity. The hypothesis that higher annual hospital volume of bariatric surgery is associated with better long-term survival was evaluated. METHODS: This retrospective population-based study included patients who underwent bariatric surgery in Sweden and Finland between 1989 and 2020. Annual hospital volume was analysed for risk of all-cause mortality. Multivariable Cox regression provided HRs with 95 per cent confidence intervals adjusted for age, sex, co-morbidity, country, and type of bariatric procedure. RESULTS: Weight loss surgery was performed in 77 870 patients with a 0.5 per cent risk of postoperative death (mortality rate (MR) per 100 000 people 592.7, 95 per cent c.i. 575.0 to 610.9). Higher annual hospital volume of bariatric surgery was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality. The adjusted HRs were slightly more reduced for each quartile of annual hospital volume compared with the lowest quartile (MR per 100 000 people for lowest quartile 815.1, 95 per cent c.i. 781.7 to 849.9; for quartile II: HR 0.88, 95 per cent c.i. 0.81 to 0.96 (MR per 100 000 people 545.0, 512.0 to 580.1); for quartile III: HR 0.87, 0.78 to 0.97 (MR per 100 000 people 428.8, 395.5 to 465.0); for quartile IV: HR 0.82, 0.73 to 0.93 (MR per 100 000 people 356.0, 324.1 to 391.1)). In analyses restricted to laparoscopic surgery, volume and mortality were related only in the crude model (HR 0.86, 0.75 to 0.98), but not in the multivariable model (HR 0.97, 0.84 to 1.13) that compared highest and lowest quartiles. CONCLUSION: If there was a survival benefit associated with hospital volume, it may have been due to a faster uptake of laparoscopic surgery in the busier hospitals.

AIM: Bariatric-metabolic surgery is approved by the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for people with severe obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) (including class 1 obesity after 2014). This study analysed baseline characteristics, disease severity and operations undertaken in people with obesity and T2DM undergoing bariatric-metabolic surgery in the UK National Health Service (NHS) compared to those without T2DM. METHODS: Baseline characteristics, trends over time and operations undertaken were analysed for people undergoing primary bariatric-metabolic surgery in the NHS using the National Bariatric Surgical Registry (NBSR) for 11 years from 2009 to 2019. Clinical practice before and after the publication of the NICE guidance (2014) was examined. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine associations with T2DM status and the procedure undertaken. RESULTS: 14,948/51,715 (28.9%) participants had T2DM, with 10,626 (71.1%) on oral hypoglycaemics, 4322 (28.9%) on insulin/other injectables, and with T2DM diagnosed 10+ years before surgery in 3876 (25.9%). Participants with T2DM, compared to those without T2DM, were associated with older age (p < 0.001), male sex (p < 0.001), poorer functional status (p < 0.001), dyslipidaemia (OR: 3.58 (CI: 3.39-3.79); p < 0.001), hypertension (OR: 2.32 (2.19-2.45); p < 0.001) and liver disease (OR: 1.73 (1.58-1.90); p < 0.001), but no difference in body mass index was noted. Fewer people receiving bariatric-metabolic surgery after 2015 had T2DM (p < 0.001), although a very small percentage increase of those with class I obesity and T2DM was noted. Gastric bypass was the commonest operation overall. T2DM status was associated with selection for gastric bypass compared to sleeve gastrectomy (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: NHS bariatric-metabolic surgery is used for people with T2DM much later in the disease process when it is less effective. National guidance on bariatric-metabolic surgery and data from multiple RCTs have had little impact on clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE: Obesity has risen to affect >25% of the Canadian population. Perioperative challenges with increased morbidity are encountered. We evaluated the outcome of robotic-assisted surgery for endometrial cancer (EC) in obese patients. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all robotic surgeries performed for EC in women with BMI ≥40 kg/m2, from 2012 to 2020 in our center. Patients were divided into 2 groups (class III: 40-49 kg/m2, class IV: ≥50 kg/m2). Complications and outcome were compared. RESULTS: 185 patients were included: 139 class III and 46 class IV. The main histology was endometrioid adenocarcinoma (70,5% of class III and 58,1% of class IV (p = 0,138)). The mean blood loss, overall sentinel node detection and median length of stay were similar in both groups. Six class III (4,3%) and 3 class IV (6,5%) patients required conversion to laparotomy due to poor surgical field exposure (p = 0,692). The rate of intraoperative complications was similar between the 2 groups (1.4% in class III vs none in class IV, p = 1). There were 10 class III (7,2%) and 10 class IV (21,7%) post-operative complications (p = 0.011), but most were grade 2 (3,6% in class III vs 13% in class IV, p = 0.029)). Grade 3 and 4 postoperative complications were low (2.7%) and not statistically different between the 2 groups. Readmission rate was low in both groups (4 in each group, p = 1.07). Recurrence occurred in 5,8% of class III and 4,3% of class IV patients (p = 1). CONCLUSION: Robotic-assisted surgery for EC in class III and class IV obese patients is a safe and feasible procedure, with low complication rate, similar oncologic outcome, conversion rate, blood loss, readmission rate and length of hospital stay.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Patients with a history of bariatric surgery (BS) are susceptible to developing alcohol use disorder. We and others have previously shown that these patients can develop severe alcohol-related liver disease (ARLD). Our aim was to describe the demographics, co-morbidities and mortality of a hospitalized population diagnosed with alcohol-related liver disease, in relation to BS. METHODS: We included 299 patients hospitalized with ARLD at the Ghent University Hospital between 1 January 2018 and 31 December 2022. Clinical, biochemical and outcome data were retrospectively retrieved from the most recent hospitalization. Statistical analysis was performed using the t test, Mann-Whitney U and χ2 tests. RESULTS: Thirteen per cent (39/299) of patients admitted with ARLD had a history of bariatric surgery, of whom 25 (64.1%) had undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Patients with a history of BS were predominantly female (76.9%), in contrast to the non-BS population (29.2%) (p < .0001), and despite being significantly younger (p < .0001) and had a similar survival (61.5% vs. 58.1%). Bariatric surgery and older age at diagnosis were both significantly associated with poorer transplant-free survival. The cause of death was acute-on-chronic liver failure in 73.3% of BS patients, compared to only 19.2% of those without a history of BS (p < .0001). The weekly amount of alcohol consumed (p = .012) and duration of use (p < .0001) were significantly lower/shorter in the BS population. CONCLUSIONS: BS patients hospitalized with ARLD are predominantly younger women with a lower cumulative alcohol consumption compared to those without prior BS. BS impacted transplant-free survival, with ACLF as the predominant cause of death in these patients.

AIMS: To summarize the Greater China Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Database (GC-MBD) and to compare patient characteristics and different procedures performed with data from published reports from other international bariatric surgery registries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data were extracted from the GC-MBD registry in 2021. Baseline demographic characteristics, obesity-related comorbidities and operational information were analysed. Descriptive comparisons of these data were made with the published reports from four other international/national databases, including the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) registry, the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) database of the United States, the National Bariatric Surgical Registry (NBSR) of the United Kingdom, and the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg). RESULTS: Fifty-three centres in China registered 6807 cases in the GC-MBD. Compared with published data from the IFSO registry, MBSAQIP, NBSR and SOReg, patients in China undergoing surgery were younger and had a lower body mass index. The incidence of other obesity-related comorbidities, except for gastroesophageal reflux disease, was also higher than in Western countries. Furthermore, more patients underwent sleeve gastrectomy, less revisional bariatric surgery was reported in China, and jejunojejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy, uncommon in other countries, was China's second-leading bariatric procedure. CONCLUSIONS: By establishing comprehensive national registries such as the GC-MBD, real-world information can be gathered on clinical practice and patient outcomes. Insights into variations in clinical practice can be identified by comparing reports from different countries, which can help in making and evaluating healthcare policies on the best clinical practices at a national level.

AIM: To compare different types of metabolic surgery with non-surgical therapy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS: The present network meta-analysis (NMA) includes randomized clinical trials (duration ≥ 52 weeks) comparing different surgery techniques with non-surgical therapy in diabetes patients. The primary endpoints were endpoint HbA1c, body mass index (BMI) and diabetes remission. The secondary endpoints included fasting plasma glucose, lipid profile, blood pressure, arterial hypertension and dyslipidaemia remission, quality of life and surgical adverse events. Indirect comparisons of different types of surgery were performed by NMA. Mean and 95% confidence intervals for continuous variables, and the Mantel-Haenzel odds ratio for categorial variables, were calculated. RESULTS: The types of surgical procedure included laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG), bilio-pancreatic diversion (BPD), greater curvature plication (GCP), one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) and Duodeno-Jejunal bypass. Thirty-six trials were included. Metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) was associated with a significantly higher reduction of HbA1c, diabetes remission and BMI compared with medical therapy. In the NMA, a significant reduction of HbA1c was observed with OAGB and SG. Complete diabetes remission significantly increased with all surgical procedures in comparison with non-surgical therapy, except for GCP. In addition, only BPD, RYGB and OAGB were associated with a significant reduction of BMI. CONCLUSIONS: MBS is an effective option for the treatment of T2D in patients with obesity. Further long-term trials of appropriate quality are needed for assessing the risk-benefit ratio in some patient cohorts, such as those with a BMI of less than 35 kg/m2 and aged older than 65 years.

AIMS: Overweight is associated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the impact of overweight and AF recurrence after ablation is less clear. Despite this, an increasing number of AF ablations are carried out in overweight patients. We investigated the impact of body mass index (BMI) on AF recurrence rates after ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Through Danish nationwide registers, all patients undergoing first-time AF ablation between 2010 and 2018 were identified. Exposure of interest was BMI. The primary outcome was recurrent AF, defined from either any usage of antiarrhythmic medication, AF hospitalization, cardioversion, or re-ablation. A total of 9188 patients were included. Median age and interquartile range was 64 (60-75) in the normal-weight group and 60 (53-66) in the morbidly obese. There was an increase in comorbidity burden with increasing BMI, including a higher prevalence of heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, and hypertension. At 1- and 5-year follow ups, recurrence rates of AF increased incrementally by BMI categories. The hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals of recurrent AF after ablation were 1.15 (1.07-1.23), 1.18 (1.09-1.28), and 1.26 (1.13-1.41) in overweight, obese, and morbidly obese, respectively, compared with normal-weight patients. Procedure duration and X-ray dose exposure also increased with increasing BMI. CONCLUSION: Following AF ablation, recurrence rates of AF increased incrementally with increasing BMI. Therefore, aggressive weight management pre ablation in overweight patients could potentially provide substantial benefits and improve short- and long-term outcomes after ablation.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Morbid obesity is associated with poorer postoperative outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. We aimed to evaluate short-term outcomes after robotic versus conventional laparoscopic CRC resection in morbidly obese patients. METHODS: This population-based, retrospective study extracted data from the US Nationwide Inpatient Sample during 2005-2018. Adults ≥ 20 years old, with morbid obesity and CRC, and undergoing robotic or laparoscopic resections were identified. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to minimize the confounding. Univariate and multivariable regression was conducted to evaluate the associations between outcomes and study variables. RESULTS: After PSM, 1296 patients remained. The risks of any postoperative complication (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.99, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.80, 1.22), prolonged length of stay (LOS) (aOR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.63, 1.01), death (aOR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.11, 3.10), or pneumonia (aOR = 1.13, 95% CI: 0.73, 1.77) were not significantly different between the two procedures after adjustment. Robotic surgery was significantly associated with greater hospital cost (aBeta = 26.26, 95% CI: 16.08, 36.45) than laparoscopic surgery. Stratified analyses revealed that, in patients with tumor located at the colon, robotic surgery was associated with lower risk of prolonged LOS (aOR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.54, 0.95). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with morbid obesity, risks of postoperative complication, death, or pneumonia are not significantly different between robotic and laparoscopic CRC resection. Among patients with tumor located at the colon, robotic surgery is associated with lower risk of prolonged LOS. These findings fill the knowledge gap and provide useful information for clinicians on risk stratification and treatment choice.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The prevalence of childhood and adolescent obesity in the United States has reached alarming levels, necessitating effective interventions such as bariatric surgery. This article reviews the current state of bariatric surgery in the adolescent population, highlighting the common complications encountered in post-bariatric patients. Furthermore, it outlines the pivotal role of endoscopy in both the prevention and management of these bariatric complications. RECENT FINDINGS: Though only a minority of eligible adolescent patients undergo bariatric surgery the number of cases continues to increase. Sleeve gastrectomy has emerged as the preferred type of surgery, with the best balance of safety and efficacy. However, only a small number of pediatric surgeons have additional bariatric training and a number of technical aspects of the surgery itself impact the risk for post-surgical complications. Gastric sleeve stenosis, anastomotic leaks and gastroesophageal reflux are the most common of these complications. Ability to perform dilation of sleeve stenosis, closure of anastomotic leaks and evaluation of reflux are critical tools in the endoscopic toolbox necessary for the management of these complicated patients. Bariatric surgery remains the most effective treatment available for management of morbid obesity in adolescents but has significant associated complications. Pediatric gastroenterologists must be familiar in the endoscopic management of these complications and are crucial in creating a high functioning adolescent bariatric program.

PURPOSE: To investigate real-world prescribing trends and clinical outcomes based on body mass index (BMI) categorization in patients who received rivaroxaban therapy. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study involving all patients who received rivaroxaban therapy across all Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) hospitals from 2015 to 2020. RESULTS: The number of patients initiated on rivaroxaban therapy significantly increased from 152 (3.3%) in 2015 to 1342 (28.9%) in 2020 (p <0.001). Within BMI categories, a similar increasing trend was observed in underweight, normal, and overweight patients, while from 2018 to 2020, there was a decreasing trend in rivaroxaban prescribing in all obese classes. The prevalence rate of all-cause mortality differed significantly between the BMI groups, with the highest mortality being among morbidly obese patients (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2) (p< 0.001). On the other hand, no significant differences were found between the BMI groups in terms of bleeding, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis and stroke incidences. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that the likelihood of all-cause mortality was significantly higher in overweight and all categories of obese patients compared to underweight patients: overweight (OR: 5.3, 95% CI: 2.3-11.9, p< 0.001); obese class 1 (OR: 5.4, 95% CI: 2.3 - 12.2, p< 0.001); obese class 2 (OR: 6.5, 95% CI: 2.7 - 15.6, p< 0.001); and obese class 3 (OR: 3.7, 95% CI: 1.6 - 8.7, p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: Rivaroxaban prescribing has significantly increased over the years across general population, with a noticeable decline in obese population during the last few years (from 2018 onwards). Furthermore, an appreciable association was evident between all-cause mortality and BMI of these patients.

BACKGROUND: Conversion from sleeve gastrectomy (SG) to single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI) is becoming increasingly common, but data regarding safety is of these conversions is scarce. As such, the objective of this study was to compare the 30-day rate of serious complications and mortality of primary SADI (p-SADI-S) with SG to SADI (SG-SADI) conversions. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study analyzed the MBSAQIP database. Patients undergoing p-SADI-S and SG-SADI were included. Data collection was limited to 2020 and 2021. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed between groups to determine if SG-SADI was an independent predictor of 30-day serious complications or mortality. RESULTS: A total of 783 patients were included in this study, 488 (62.3%) underwent p-SADI-S and 295 (37.6%) underwent SG-SADI. The mean body mass index (BMI) at the time of surgery was lower in the SG-SADI cohort (45.1 vs 51.4 kg/m2, p < 0.001). Indications for revision in the SG-SADI cohort included weight recurrence (50.8%), inadequate weight loss (41.0%), other (3.0%), GERD (2.7%), and persistent comorbidities (2.5%). SG-SADI had longer operative times (156.7 vs 142.1 min, p < 0.001) and was not associated with a higher rate of serious complications (5.7 vs 6.9%, p = 0.508) compared to p-SADI-S. p-SADI-S was associated with a higher rate of pneumonia (1.2 vs 0.0%, p < 0.001), and SG-SADI was not correlated with higher rates of reoperation (3.0 vs 3.2%, p = 0.861), readmission (5.4 vs 5.5%, p = 0.948) and death (0.0 vs 0.2%, p = 0.437). On multivariable analysis, SG-SADI was not independently predictive of serious complications (OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.43 to 1.52, p = 0.514) when adjusting for age, sex, BMI, comorbidities, and operative time. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of SG-SADI is high, representing 37.6% of SADI-S procedures. Conversion from sleeve to SADI, is safe, and as opposed to other studies of revisional bariatric surgery, has similar 30-day complication rates to primary SADI-S.
