- Gastric bypass surgery constitutes the most common and effective bariatric surgery to treat obesity. Gastric bypass leads to bone loss, but fracture risk following surgery has been insufficiently studied. Furthermore, the association between gastric bypass and fracture risk has not been studied in patients with diabetes, which is a risk factor for fracture and affected by surgery. In this retrospective cohort study using Swedish national databases, 38 971 obese patients undergoing gastric bypass were identified, 7758 with diabetes and 31 213 without. An equal amount of well-balanced controls were identified through multivariable 1:1 propensity score matching. The risk of fracture and fall injury was investigated using Cox proportional hazards and flexible parameter models. Fracture risk according to weight loss and degree of calcium and vitamin D supplementation one-year post- surgery was investigated. During a median follow-up time of 3.1 (IQR 1.7-4.6) years, gastric bypass was associated with increased risk of any fracture, in patients with and without diabetes using a multivariable Cox model (HR 1.26, 95% CI 1.05- 1.53 and HR 1.32, 95% CI 1.18-1.47, respectively). Using flexible parameter models, the fracture risk appeared to increase with time. The risk of fall injury without fracture was also increased after gastric bypass. Larger weight loss or poor calcium and vitamin D supplementation after surgery were not associated with increased fracture risk. In conclusion, gastric bypass surgery is associated with an increased fracture risk, which appears to be increasing with time and not associated with degree of weight loss or calcium and vitamin D supplementation following surgery. An increased risk of fall injury was seen after surgery, which could contribute to the increased fracture risk. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

- Background: The aim of the present study was to see if there are longitudinal changes in bone mineral density (BMD), vitamin D or parathyroid hormone (PTH) in females 5 years after Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB).Methods: Thirty-two women with mean age 41.6 ± 9.3 years and mean body mass index (BMI) 44.5 ± 4.6 kg/m(2) were included. Preoperatively, 2 and 5 years postoperatively, BMD, weight, height, S-calcium, S-albumin, S-creatinine, S-25(OH)-vitamin D and fP-PTH were measured.Results: The mean decrease in BMI between baseline and 5 years after surgery was 29.4 %. BMD of the spine and femur measured as z- and t-scores, showed a linear, statistically significant declining trend over the years. The fall in BMD of the spine and femoral neck between baseline and 5 years after surgery was 19 and 25 %, respectively. The mean fP-PTH showed a significant increase over the study period (20.2 μg/L increase, 95 % CI:-31.99 to -8.41). S-calcium, both free and corrected for albumin, showed a decrease between baseline and 5 years after surgery. Eight patients developed osteopenia and one osteoporosis after a 5-year follow-up.Conclusion: LRYGB is an efficient method for sustained long-term body weight loss. There is, however, a concomitant decrease in BMD and S-calcium, and an increase in fP-PTH.

- It is evident that morbidly obese patients have a low health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL), and this low HRQoL has become a common reason for them to seek bariatric surgery. Several HRQoL studies demonstrate a dramatic postoperative improvement, but most of these have had a short follow-up period.An observational, cross-sectional study for HRQoL was conducted to study 486 patients (average age of 50.7 +/- 10.0 years, with 84 % of them being female) operated with gastric bypass (GBP) in the period 1993 to 2003 at the University Hospitals of A-rebro and Uppsala. Mean follow-up after gastric bypass was 11.5 +/- 2.7 years (range 7-17). Two HRQoL instruments were used, SF-36 and the Obesity-related Problems scale (OP). The study group was compared with two control groups, both matched for age and gender, one from the general population and one containing morbidly obese patients evaluated and awaiting bariatric surgery.The study group scored better in the SF-36 domains (all four physical domains and the vitality subscore) and OP scale compared to obese controls, but their HRQoL scores were lower than those of the general population. HRQoL was better among younger patients and in the following subgroups: men, patients with satisfactory weight loss, satisfied with the procedure, free from co-morbidities and gastrointestinal symptoms, employment, good oral status and those not hospitalised or regularly followed up for non-bariatric reasons.Long-term follow-up after GBP for morbid obesity showed better scores in most aspects of HRQoL compared to obese controls but did not achieve the levels of the general population. Patients with better medical outcome after gastric bypass operation had better HRQoL.

- Objectives: Gastric bypass surgery constitutes the most common and effective bariatric surgery to treat obesity. Gastric bypass leads to bone oss but fracture risk following surgery has been insufficiently studied. Our objective was to investigate if gastric bypass surgery in obese patients, with and without diabetes, was associated with fracture risk, and if the fracture risk was associated with post-surgery weight loss or insufficient calcium and vitamin D supplementation.Methods: Using large databases, 38 971 obese patients undergoing gastric bypass were identified, 7758 with diabetes and 31 213 without. Through multivariable 1:1 propensity score matching, well-balanced controls were identified. The risk of fracture and fall injury was investigated using Cox proportional hazards and flexible parameter models. Fracture risk according to weight loss and degree of calcium and vitamin D supplementation one year post-surgery was investigated.Results: 77 942 patients had a median and total follow-up time of 3.1 (IQR 1.7-4.6) and 251 310 person-years, respectively. Gastric bypass was associated with increased risk of any fracture, in patients with diabetes and without diabetes using a multivariable Cox model (HR 1.26, 95%CI 1.05-1.53 and HR 1.32, 95%CI 1.18-1.47, respectively). The risk of fall injury without fracture was also increased after gastric bypass, both in patients with (HR 1.26 95%CI 1.04-1.52) and without diabetes (HR 1.24 95%CI 1.12-1.38). Weight loss or degree of calcium and vitamin D supplementation after gastric bypass were not associated with fracture risk.Conclusions: Gastric bypass was associated with an increased risk of fracture and fall injury. Weight loss or calcium and vitamin D supplementation following surgery were not associated with fracture risk. These findings indicate that gastric bypass increases fracture risk, which could at least partly be due to increased susceptibility to falls.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is the most common procedure for revisional bariatric surgery. This study is an analysis of revisional gastric bypass operations (rGBP) compared with primary gastric bypass (pGBP) performed in Sweden between 2007 and 2016.Objective: The aim was to compare the incidence of adverse events in primary and revisional gastric bypass surgery and to identify predictive factors of intraoperative, early, and late complications in revisional gastric bypass surgery.Setting: Forty-four hospitals.Methods: Registered study from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry. The study group (rGBP) comprised 1795 patients, and the control group (pGBP) comprised 46,055 patients.Results: Median follow-up time was 28 months. The rate of open procedures was significantly higher in the rGBP group (39.1% versus 2.4%; P < .001) decreasing from 70.8% in 2007 to 8.5% in 2016. Intraoperative complications (15.5% versus 3.0%, P < .001), early complications (24.6% versus 8.7%; P < .001), and late complications (17.7% versus 8.7%; P < .001) occurred more often in the rGBP group. Open access in revisional surgery was an independent risk factor for intraoperative complications (odds ratio 3.87; 95% confidence interval: 2.69-5.57, P < .001), early complications (odds ratio 2.08; 95% confidence interval: 1.53-2.83, P < .001), and late complications (odds ratio 1.91; 95% confidence interval: 1.31-2.78, P = .001). Indication for revision or type of index operation were not associated with complications.Conclusion: RGBP was associated with a higher incidence of intraoperative, early, and late complications compared with pGBP. Open access in revisional surgery was predictive of complications regardless of the index operation or indication for revision.

- Background: In Sweden, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is the most common procedure when revising a previous bariatric procedure. This study is an analysis of all revisional gastric bypass operations (rGBP) compared with a matched group of primary gastric bypass (pGBP) operated between 2007 and 2012.Objective: The aim was to determine whether improvement of obesity-related co-morbidity and changes in weight after revisional gastric bypass surgery were comparable with those seen after primary surgery.Setting: 44 hospitals in SwedenMethods: Retrospective data were retrieved from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry. The study group (rGBP) comprised 1224 patients, and the control group (pGBP) comprised 3612 patients matched for age and gender.Results: The indication for revision was weight failure in 512 patients (42%), a late complication of the initial procedure in 330 patients (27%), and a combination of weight failure and complication in 303 patients (25%). A total of 66% of patients in the rGBP group and 67% in the pGBP group completed the 2-year follow-up in the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry.The rGBP-group had significantly less excess BMI loss (%EBMIL, 59.4 +/- 147.0 versus 79.5 +/- 24.7, P < .001) and a lower dyslipidemia remission rate (42.9% versus 62.0%, P = .005) at the time of the 2-year follow-up. Remission rates of sleep apnea, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and depression were similar. The effects on obesity-related co-morbidity were not related to the indication for revisional surgery or the initial bariatric procedure.Conclusion: Even if weight results might be inferior compared with primary bypass procedures, the improvement of co-morbidity is similar.

- BACKGROUND: An increasing number of older patients undergo bariatric surgery.OBJECTIVE: To define the risk for complications and mortality in relation to age after gastric bypass.SETTING: A national registry-based study.METHODS: Patients (n = 47,660) undergoing gastric bypass between May 2007 and October 2016 and registered in the Scandinavian Obesity Register were included. Risk between age groups was compared by multivariate analysis.RESULTS: The 30-day follow-up rate was 98.1%. In the entire cohort of patients, any complication within 30 days was demonstrated in 8.4%. For patients aged 50 to 54, 55 to 59, and ≥60 years, this risk was significantly increased to 9.8%, 10.0%, and 10.2%, respectively. Rates of specific surgical complications, such as anastomotic leak, bleeding, and deep infections/abscesses were all significantly increased by 14% to 41% in patients aged 50 to 54 years, with a small additional, albeit not significant, increase in risk in patients of older age. The risk of medical complications (thromboembolic events, cardiovascular, and pulmonary complications) was significantly increased in patients aged ≥60 years. Mortality was .03% in all patients without differences between groups.CONCLUSIONS: In this large data set, rates of complications and mortality after 30 days were low. For many complications, an increased risk was encountered in patients aged ≥50 years. However, rates of complications and mortality were still acceptably low in these age groups. Taking the expected benefits in terms of weight loss and improvements of co-morbidities into consideration, our findings suggest that patients of older age should be considered for surgery after thorough individual risk assessment rather than denied bariatric surgery based solely on a predefined chronologic age limit.

- BACKGROUND: Although bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes (T2D) in patients with morbid obesity, further studies are needed to evaluate factors influencing the chance of achieving diabetes remission. The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between T2D duration and the chance of achieving remission of T2D after bariatric surgery.METHODS AND FINDINGS: We conducted a nationwide register-based cohort study including all adult patients with T2D and BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 who received primary bariatric surgery in Sweden between 2007 and 2015 identified through the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry. The main outcome was remission of T2D, defined as being free from diabetes medication or as complete remission (HbA1c < 42 mmol/mol without medication). In all, 8,546 patients with T2D were included. Mean age was 47.8 ± 10.1 years, mean BMI was 42.2 ± 5.8 kg/m2, 5,277 (61.7%) were women, and mean HbA1c was 58.9 ± 17.4 mmol/mol. The proportion of patients free from diabetes medication 2 years after surgery was 76.6% (n = 6,499), and 69.9% at 5 years (n = 3,765). The chance of being free from T2D medication was less in patients with longer preoperative duration of diabetes both at 2 years (odds ratio [OR] 0.80/year, 95% CI 0.79-0.81, p < 0.001) and 5 years after surgery (OR 0.76/year, 95% CI 0.75-0.78, p < 0.001). Complete remission of T2D was achieved in 58.2% (n = 2,090) at 2 years, and 46.6% at 5 years (n = 681). The chance of achieving complete remission correlated negatively with the duration of diabetes (adjusted OR 0.87/year, 95% CI 0.85-0.89, p < 0.001), insulin treatment (adjusted OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.20-0.31, p < 0.001), age (adjusted OR 0.94/year, 95% CI 0.93-0.95, p < 0.001), and HbA1c at baseline (adjusted OR 0.98/mmol/mol, 95% CI 0.97-0.98, p < 0.001), but was greater among males (adjusted OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.29-1.90, p < 0.001) and patients with higher BMI at baseline (adjusted OR 1.07/kg/m2, 95% CI 1.05-1.09, p < 0.001). The main limitations of the study lie in its retrospective nature and the low availability of HbA1c values at long-term follow-up.CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we found that remission of T2D after bariatric surgery was inversely associated with duration of diabetes and was highest among patients with recent onset and those without insulin treatment.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is the most common bariatric procedure in Sweden and results in substantial weight loss. Approximately one year post-surgery weight regain for these patient are common, followed by a decrease in health related quality of life (HRQoL) and physical activity (PA). Our aim is to investigate the effects of a dissonance-based intervention on HRQoL, PA and other health-related behaviors in female RYGB patients 24 months after surgery. We are not aware of any previous RCT that has investigated the effects of a similar intervention targeting health behaviors after RYGB.METHODS: The ongoing RCT, the "WELL-GBP"-trial (wellbeing after gastric bypass), is a dissonance-based intervention for female RYGB patients conducted at five hospitals in Sweden. The participants are randomized to either control group receiving usual follow-up care, or to receive an intervention consisting of four group sessions three months post-surgery during which a modified version of the Stice dissonance-based intervention model is used. The sessions are held at the hospitals, and topics discussed are PA, eating behavior, social and intimate relationships. All participants are asked to complete questionnaires measuring HRQoL and other health-related behaviors and wear an accelerometer for seven days before surgery and at six months, one year and two years after surgery. The intention to treat and per protocol analysis will focus on differences between the intervention and control group from pre-surgery assessments to follow-up assessments at 24 months after RYGB. Patients' baseline characteristics are presented in this protocol paper.DISCUSSION: A total of 259 RYGB female patients has been enrolled in the "WELL-GBP"-trial, of which 156 women have been randomized to receive the intervention and 103 women to control group. The trial is conducted within a Swedish health care setting where female RYGB patients from diverse geographical areas are represented. Our results may, therefore, be representative for female RYGB patients in the country as a whole. If the intervention is effective, implementation within the Swedish health care system is possible within the near future.TRIAL REGISTRATION: The trial was registered on February 23th 2015 with registration number ISRCTN16417174.

- BACKGROUND: Intraoperative adverse events are known to be associated with postoperative complications; however, little is known about whether or not blood loss during laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery affects the outcome.OBJECTIVE: To see if intraoperative bleeding was associated with a less favorable outcome, and to identify patient-specific risk factors for intraoperative bleeding.SETTING: Nationwide, Sweden.METHODS: Patients who underwent laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery between January 8, 2007, and September 15, 2015, were included in the study. The volume of intraoperative blood loss was compared with data from follow-up at day 30 and 1 and 2 years after surgery. Patient-specific factors were analyzed as potential risk factors for intraoperative bleeding.RESULTS: The study included 43,157 patients. Intraoperative bleeding was associated with an increased risk for postoperative complication (100-499 mL, odds ratio [OR] 2.97, 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 2.53-3.50;>500 mL OR 3.34, 95%CI 2.05-5.44), lower weight loss (<100 mL, 82.4±24.19% excess body mass index-loss [%EBMIL]; 100-499 mL, 76.9±24.24 %EBMIL, P<.0001;>500 mL 76.9±23.89 %EBMIL, P = .063) and lower reported quality-of-life 2 years after surgery (<100 mL, Obesity-related Problem scale (OP) 21.1±24.46; 100-499 mL, OP 25.0±26.62, P = .008;>500 mL, OP 25.2±24.46, P = .272). Diabetes (OR 1.30, 95%CI 1.08-1.58), age (OR 1.02, 95%CI 1.02-1.03), and body mass index (OR 1.03, 95%CI 1.02-1.05) were patient-specific risk factors for intraoperative bleeding≥100 mL, whereas intentional preoperative weight loss was associated with a lower risk (OR .50, 95%CI .43-.57).CONCLUSION: Intraoperative bleeding was associated with less favorable outcome after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. Age, body mass index, and diabetes were risk factors for intraoperative bleeding, while preoperative weight reduction seems to be protective.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Small bowel obstruction due to internal hernia is a common and potentially serious complication after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. Whether closure of surgically created mesenteric defects might reduce the incidence is unknown, so we did a large randomised trial to investigate.Method: This study was a multicentre, randomised trial with a two-arm, parallel design done at 12 centres for bariatric surgery in Sweden. Patients planned for laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery at any of the participating centres were off ered inclusion. During the operation, a concealed envelope was opened and the patient was randomly assigned to either closure of mesenteric defects beneath the jejunojejunostomy and at Petersen's space or non-closure. After surgery, assignment was open label. The main outcomes were reoperation for small bowel obstruction and severe postoperative complications. Outcome data and safety were analysed in the intention-to-treat population. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials. gov, number NCT01137201.Findings: Between May 1, 2010, and Nov 14, 2011, 2507 patients were recruited to the study and randomly assigned to closure of the mesenteric defects (n= 1259) or non-closure (n= 1248). 2503 (99.8%) patients had follow-up for severe postoperative complications at day 30 and 2482 (99.0%) patients had follow-up for reoperation due to small bowel obstruction at 25 months. At 3 years after surgery, the cumulative incidence of reoperation because of small bowel obstruction was signifi cantly reduced in the closure group (cumulative probability 0.055 for closure vs 0.102 for non-closure, hazard ratio 0.56, 95% CI 0.41-0.76, p= 0.0002). Closure of mesenteric defects increased the risk for severe postoperative complications (54 [4.3%] for closure vs 35 [2.8%] for non-closure, odds ratio 1.55, 95% CI 1.01-2.39, p= 0.044), mainly because of kinking of the jejunojejunostomy.Interpretation: The results of our study support the routine closure of the mesenteric defects in laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. However, closure of the mesenteric defects might be associated with increased risk of early small bowel obstruction caused by kinking of the jejunojejunostomy.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Routine closure of mesenteric defects is generally considered standard part of laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery today. Controversy still exists regarding the optimal method for mesenteric defects closure. The objective was to compare different methods for mesenteric defects handling in laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery.METHODS: Primary laparoscopic gastric bypass procedures from 2010 until 2015 reported to the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg), where the mesenteric defects closure method was identifiable, were included. Main outcome measures were serious postoperative complication within 30 days after surgery, and reoperation for small bowel obstruction within 5 years after surgery. Quality-of-life before and after surgery, duration of surgery, and risk factors for complication were also analyzed. Information on operation for small bowel obstruction was based on data from the SOReg, the Swedish National Patient Register and reviews of hospital charts.RESULTS: In all, 34,707 patients were included. Serious postoperative complication occurred in 174 (2.9%) patients with sutures, in 592 (3.1%, adjusted p = 0.079) with clips, and 278 (3.1%; adjusted p = 0.658) in the non-closure group. Reoperation for small bowel obstruction within 5 years after surgery was lower with sutures (cumulative incidence 6.9%) and clips (cumulative incidence 7.3%; adjusted HR 1.16, 95% CI 1.02-1.32, p = 0.026), compared to non-closure (cumulative incidence 11.2%; adjusted HR 1.63, 95% CI 1.44-1.84, p < 0.0001).CONCLUSION: Closure of the mesenteric defects using either non-absorbable metal clips or non-absorbable running sutures is a safe and effective measure to reduce the risk for small bowel obstruction after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. Sutures appear slightly more effective and should remain gold standard for mesenteric defects closure.

- BACKGROUND: Mesenteric defect closure in laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery has been reported to reduce the risk for small bowel obstruction. Little is known, however, about the effect of mesenteric defect closure on patient-reported outcome. The aim of the present study was to see if mesenteric defect closure affects health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) after laparoscopic gastric bypass.METHODS: Patients operated at 12 centers for bariatric surgery participated in this randomized two-arm parallel study. During the operation, patients were randomized to closure of the mesenteric defects or non-closure. This study was a post-hoc analysis comparing HRQoL of the two groups before surgery, at 1 and 2 years after the operation. HRQoL was estimated using the short form 36 (SF-36-RAND) and the obesity problems (OP) scale.RESULTS: Between May 1, 2010, and November 14, 2011, 2507 patients were included in the study and randomly assigned to mesenteric defect closure (n = 1259) or non-closure (n = 1248). In total, 1619 patients (64.6%) reported on their HRQoL at the 2-year follow-up. Mesenteric defect closure was associated with slightly higher rating of social functioning (87 ± 22.1 vs. 85 ± 24.2, p = 0.047) and role emotional (85 ± 31.5 vs. 82 ± 35.0, p = 0.027). No difference was seen on the OP scale (open defects 22 ± 24.8 vs. closed defects 20 ± 23.8, p = 0.125).CONCLUSION: When comparing mesenteric defect closure with non-closure, there is no clinically relevant difference in HRQoL after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery.

- BACKGROUND: Closure of mesenteric defects during laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery markedly reduces the risk for small bowel obstruction due to internal hernia. However, this procedure is associated with an increased risk for early small bowel obstruction and pulmonary complication. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether the learning curve and subsequent adaptions made to the technique have had an effect on the risk for complications.METHODS: The results of patients operated with a primary laparoscopic gastric bypass procedure, including closure of the mesenteric defects with sutures, during a period soon after introduction (January 1, 2010-December 31, 2011) were compared to those of patients operated recently (January 1, 2014-June 30, 2017). Data were retrieved from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg). The main outcome was reoperation for small bowel obstruction within 30 days after surgery.RESULTS: A total of 5444 patients were included in the first group (period 1), and 1908 in the second group (period 2). Thirty-day follow-up rates were 97.1 and 97.5% respectively. The risk for early (within 30 days) small bowel obstruction was lower in period 2 than in period 1 (13/1860, 0.7% vs. 67/5285, 1.3%, OR 0.55 (0.30-0.99), p = 0.045). The risk for pulmonary complication was also reduced (5/1860, 0.3%, vs. 41/5285, 0.8%, OR 0.34 (0.14-0.87), p = 0.019).CONCLUSION: Closure of mesenteric defects during laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery can be performed safely and should be viewed as a routine part of that operation.

- BACKGROUND: RCTs are the standard for assessing medical interventions, but they may not be feasible and their external validity is sometimes questioned. This study aimed to compare results from an RCT on mesenteric defect closure during laparoscopic gastric bypass with those from a national database containing data on the same procedure, to shed light on the external validity of the RCT.METHODS: Patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery within an RCT conducted between 1 May 2010 and 14 November 2011 were compared with those who underwent the same procedure in Sweden outside the RCT over the same time interval. Primary endpoints were severe complications within 30 days and surgery for small bowel obstruction within 4 years.RESULTS: Some 2507 patients in the RCT were compared with 8485 patients in the non-RCT group. There were no differences in severe complications within 30 days in the group without closure of the mesenteric defect (odds ratio (OR) for RCT versus non-RCT 0·94, 95 per cent c.i. 0·64 to 1·36; P = 0·728) or in the group with closure of the defect (OR 1·34, 0·96 to 1·86; P = 0·087). There were no differences between the RCT and non-RCT cohorts in reoperation rates for small bowel obstruction in the mesenteric defect non-closure (cumulative incidence 10·9 versus 9·4 per cent respectively; hazard ratio (HR) 1·20, 95 per cent c.i. 0·99 to 1·46; P = 0·065) and closure (cumulative incidence 5·7 versus 7·0 per cent; HR 0·82, 0·62 to 1·07; P = 0·137) groups. The relative risk for small bowel obstruction without mesenteric defect closure compared with closure was 1·91 in the RCT group and 1·39 in the non-RCT group.CONCLUSION: The efficacy of mesenteric defect closure was similar in the RCT and national registry, providing evidence for the external validity of the RCT.

- BACKGROUND: Factors associated with risk for adverse outcome are important considerations in the preoperative assessment of patients for bariatric surgery. As yet, prediction models based on preoperative risk factors have not been able to predict adverse outcome sufficiently.OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify preoperative risk factors and to construct a risk prediction model based on these.METHODS: Patients who underwent a bariatric surgical procedure in Sweden between 2010 and 2014 were identified from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg). Associations between preoperative potential risk factors and severe postoperative complications were analysed using a logistic regression model. A multivariate model for risk prediction was created and validated in the SOReg for patients who underwent bariatric surgery in Sweden, 2015.RESULTS: Revision surgery (standardized OR 1.19, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.14-0.24, p < 0.001), age (standardized OR 1.10, 95%CI 1.03-1.17, p = 0.007), low body mass index (standardized OR 0.89, 95%CI 0.82-0.98, p = 0.012), operation year (standardized OR 0.91, 95%CI 0.85-0.97, p = 0.003), waist circumference (standardized OR 1.09, 95%CI 1.00-1.19, p = 0.059), and dyspepsia/GERD (standardized OR 1.08, 95%CI 1.02-1.15, p = 0.007) were all associated with risk for severe postoperative complication and were included in the risk prediction model. Despite high specificity, the sensitivity of the model was low.CONCLUSION: Revision surgery, high age, low BMI, large waist circumference, and dyspepsia/GERD were associated with an increased risk for severe postoperative complication. The prediction model based on these factors, however, had a sensitivity that was too low to predict risk in the individual patient case.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Socioeconomic factors may influence the outcome of certain surgical procedures, but it is not known whether such factors influence the risk for postoperative complication after bariatric surgery.Objectives: Determining whether different socioeconomic factors influence the risk for postoperative complication after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery.Setting: Nationwide in Sweden.Methods: Retrospective register-based cohort study that includes all primary laparoscopic gastric bypass procedures in Sweden between 2010 and 2016, using data from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry, Statistics Sweden, and the Swedish Population Register. Main outcome measures were occurrence and severity of early postoperative complications.Results: Included in this study were 41,537 patients with 30-day follow-up percentage of 96.7%. Study groups with increased risk for postoperative complication (age, sex, body mass index, and co-morbidity adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals) were as follows: being divorced, a widow, or a widower (1.14 [1.03-1.23]); receiving disability pension (1.37 [1.23-1.53]) or social assistance (1.22 [1.07-1.401); and being first- (1.22 [1.04-1.44]) or second-generation (1.20 [1.09-1.32]) immigrant. In contrast, being single (.90 [.83.991), having higher disposable income (50th-80th percentile:.84 [.76.93]; >80th percentile:.84 [72.98]), and living in a medium (.90 [.83.98]) or small (.84 [.76.92]) town were associated with lower risk. Increased risk for severe postoperative complication was seen for divorced, widowm, or widower (1.30 [1.12-1.521) and those receiving disability pension (1.37 [1.16-1.611) or social assistance (1.32 [1.08-1.62]), while higher disposable income (50th-80th percentile:.79 [.68.92]; >80th percentile .57 [.46.72]) was associated with lower risk.Conclusion: Socioeconomic factors influence the risk for early postoperative complication after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. The impact is not enough to exclude patients from surgery, but they must be taken into account in preoperative risk assessment.

- Background: Little is known regarding the use of opioid analgesics among patients who have undergone bariatric surgery. The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) procedure has been shown to significantly increase the rate of absorption of and exposure to morphine, raising concerns regarding the potentially increased risk of side-effects and the development of substance-use disorder.Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe the pattern of opioid use over time following RYGB and to see if the pattern differs between patients with a high opioid consumption (HOC) prior to surgery and those with a low consumption (LOC).Setting: University Hospital of Örebro, Sweden.Methods: The study was a descriptive retrospective population-based cohort study where two registers with complete coverage were cross-matched.Results: The study population comprised 35,612 persons (1628 HOC, and 33,984 LOC). After surgery, the number of HOC patients increased to 2218. Mean daily opioid consumption in the total population and the LOC group increased after surgery (p <.0005). In the HOC group, there was no difference between mean daily consumption before and after surgery.Conclusion: In this nationwide study, we have showed that there is an increase in consumption of opioid analgesics after gastric bypass surgery in Sweden. The increase in the number of individuals with high opioid consumption in the total population was mainly due to an increase in the group of patients with a low consumption prior to surgery.

- Background: Although cholecystectomy incidence is known to be high after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery, the actual increase in incidence is not known. Furthermore, the outcome of cholecystectomy after RYGB is not known.Objectives: To estimate cholecystectomy incidence before and after RYGB and to compare the outcome of post-RYGB cholecystectomy with the cholecystectomy outcome in the background population.Setting: Nationwide Swedish multiregister study.Methods: The Swedish Register for Cholecystectomy and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (n = 79,386) and the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (n = 36,098) were cross-matched for the years 2007 through 2013 and compared with the National Patient Register.Results: The standardized incidence ratio for cholecystectomy before RYGB was 3.42 (2.75-4.26, P < .001); the ratio peaked at 11.4 (10.2-12.6, P < .001) 6-12 months after RYGB, which was 3.54 times the baseline level (2.78-4.49, P < .001). After 36 months, the incidence ratio had returned to baseline. The post-RYGB group demonstrated an increased risk of 30-day postoperative complications after cholecystectomy (odds ratio 2.13, 1.78-2.56; P < .001), including reoperation (odds ratio 3.84, 2.76-5.36; P < .001), compared with the background population. The post-RYGB group also demonstrated a higher risk of conversion, acute cholecystectomy, and complicated gallstone disease and a slightly prolonged operative time, adjusted for age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists class, and previous open RYGB.Conclusion: Compared with the background population, the incidence of cholecystectomy was substantially elevated already before RYGB and increased further 6-36 months after RYGB. Previous RYGB doubled the risk of postoperative complications after cholecystectomy and almost quadrupled the risk of reoperation, even when intraoperative cholangiography was normal.

- BACKGROUND: There is a strong association between obesity and gallstones. However, there is no clear evidence regarding the optimal order of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and cholecystectomy when both procedures are clinically indicated.METHODS: Based on cross-matched data from the Swedish Register for Cholecystectomy and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (GallRiks; 79 386 patients) and the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg; 36 098 patients) from 2007 to 2013, complication rates, reoperation rates and operation times related to the timing of RYGB and cholecystectomy were explored.RESULTS: There was a higher aggregate complication risk when cholecystectomy was performed after RYGB rather than before (odds ratio (OR) 1·35, 95 per cent c.i. 1·09 to 1·68; P = 0·006). A complication after the first procedure independently increased the complication risk of the following procedure (OR 2·02, 1·44 to 2·85; P < 0·001). Furthermore, there was an increased complication risk when cholecystectomy was performed at the same time as RYGB (OR 1·72, 1·14 to 2·60; P = 0·010). Simultaneous cholecystectomy added 61·7 (95 per cent c.i. 56·1 to 67·4) min (P < 0·001) to the duration of surgery.CONCLUSION: Cholecystectomy should be performed before, not during or after, RYGB.

Register-based studies on cholecystectomy : Quality of life after cholecystectomy, and cholecystectomy incidence and complications after gastric bypass
- 2017

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder) is standard surgical treatment for patients with symptomatic gallstone disease, albeit not without complications. Assessing the impact on quality of life is crucial for appropriate cholecystectomy patient selection, and the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) is a 36-item questionnaire validated for this purpose.Obesity and gastric bypass surgery each entail an increased risk of cholecystectomy, but the baseline cholecystectomy incidence in the obese population undergoing gastric bypass is unknown. Furthermore, the complication rate for cholecystectomy after gastric bypass has only been sparsely studied.In Study I, GIQLI outcome in a post-cholecystectomy cohort of 451 patients from Mora County Hospital, Sweden, was explored. The primary cholecystectomy indication, together with sex, was found to predict gastrointestinal symptoms and abdominal pain after cholecystectomy.In Study II, the GIQLI scores in the post-cholecystectomy cohort of Study I were compared with an age- and sex-matched control group of 390 individuals from the background population. The postcholecystectomy cohort stated significantly more gastrointestinal symptoms, especially symptoms related to bowel function such as diarrhoea, bowel urgency and bloating.Study III was based on a cross-matching of the Swedish cholecystectomy register (GallRiks) with the Scandinavian obesity surgery register (SOReg). Previous gastric bypass doubled the postoperative complication rate after cholecystectomy and nearly quadrupled the reoperation rate. Compared with population data from the National Patient Register (NPR), the cholecystectomy incidence was substantially elevated already before gastric bypass and increased during month 6-36 thereafter.In Study IV, the cross-matched GallRiks-SOReg database from Study III was used to compare aggregate complication rates for cholecystectomy and gastric bypass depending on the order of the two procedures. There was a significantly lower aggregate complication rate if cholecystectomy was performed before gastric bypass rather than after.
