- IMPORTANCE Knowledge of the incidence and progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) after gastric bypass surgery (GBP) in patients with obesity and diabetes could guide the management of these patients. OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence of diabetic ocular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes after GBP compared with the incidence of diabetic ocular complications in a matched cohort of patients with obesity and diabetes who have not undergone GBP. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Data from 2 nationwide registers in Sweden, the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry and the National Diabetes Register, were used for this cohort study. A total of 5321 patients with diabetes from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry who had undergone GBP from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2013, were matched with 5321 patients with diabetes from the National Diabetes Register who had not undergone GBP, based on sex, age, body mass index (BMI), and calendar time (2007-2013). Follow-up data were obtained until December 31, 2015. Statistical analysis was performed from October 5, 2018, to September 30, 2019. EXPOSURE Gastric bypass surgery. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Incidence of new DR and other diabetic ocular complications. RESULTS The study population consisted of 5321 patients who had undergone GBP (3223 women [60.6%]; mean [SD] age, 49.0 [9.5] years) and 5321 matched controls (3395 women [63.8%]; mean [SD] age, 47.1 [11.5] years). Mean (SD) follow-up was 4.5 (1.6) years. The mean (SD) BMI and hemoglobin A1c concentration at baseline were 42.0 (5.7) and 7.6%(1.5%), respectively, in the GBP group and 40.9 (7.3) and 7.5%(1.5%), respectively, in the control group. The mean (SD) duration of diabetes was 6.8 (6.3) years in the GBP group and 6.4 (6.4) years in the control group. The risk for new DR was reduced in the patients who underwent GBP (hazard ratio, 0.62 [95% CI, 0.49-0.78]; P <.001). The dominant risk factors for development of DR at baseline were diabetes duration, hemoglobin A1c concentration, use of insulin, glomerular filtration rate, and BMI. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This nationwide matched cohort study suggests that there is a reduced risk of developing new DR associated with GBP, and no evidence of an increased risk of developing DR that threatened sight or required treatment.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: Diverging results have been reported with regards to the occurrence and progression of diabetic retinopathy following gastric bypass surgery (GBP) in patients with diabetes. We aimed to investigate the incidence of diabetic ocular complications in a nationwide study in Sweden in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) following GBP and compared to a matched cohort of patients with T2DM not subjected to GBP surgery.Setting: Nationwide registry study in Sweden.Methods: We used data from two nationwide registers in Sweden: the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg) and the National Diabetes Registry (NDR). Patients with T2DM who had undergone GBP 2007-2013 reported to the SOReg were matched (1:1) with patients with T2DM from the NDR who had not had GBP surgery for obesity, based on sex, age, body mass index (BMI) and calender time (year). Follow-up data were obtained until December 31, 2015. The main outcome was occurrence of new diabetic retinopathy and was assessed with Cox proportional-hazards regression model. The importance of potential risk factors was assessed using a machine learning approach.Results: The study population consisted of 5321 patients who had undergone GBP and 5321 matched controls in NDR, and was followed up for a mean of 4.5 years. Mean age was 49.0 (SD 9.5) in the GBP and 47.1 (11.5) years in the control patients, respectively. BMI and HbA1c at baseline were 42.0 (5.7) and 60.0 (16.8) in the GBP group and 40.9 (7.3) kg/m2 and 58.5 (16.9) mmol/mol in the control group. Duration of diabetes was approximately 6 years in both groups. The risk for new diabetic retinopathy was reduced in the GBP patients (hazard ratio [HR] 0·62, 95% CI 0·49–0·78; p<0.001). The most important risk factors for development of diabetic retinopathy were diabetes duration, HbA1c, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), use of insulin and BMI. There was no evidence of increased risk for development of sight-threatening or treatment-requiring diabetic ocular complications such as diabetic macular edema, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, need for intravitreal drug administration, panretinal photocoagulation or vitrectomy.Conclusions: In this nationwide large cohort study of patients with type 2 diabetes we found a beneficial effect of GBP surgery on the risk for development of diabetic retinopathy. Furthermore, there were no indications for increased occurrence of sight-threatening or treatment-requiring diabetic retinopathy. These data provide support that, besides standard screening for diabetic retinopathy, there is no need for extended ophthalmological surveillance of patients with type 2 diabetes undergoing GBP surgery.

- Purpose: To study the occurrence and level of diabetic retinopathy (DRP) before and after planned bariatric surgery and to investigate potential risk factors for deterioration of DRP.Methods: The Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg) was used to identify diabetic patients who underwent gastric bypass (GBP) surgery at three centres in Sweden during 2008-2010. Information regarding DRP screening was obtained from ophthalmological patient charts. Patients who had DRP screening before and after GBP surgery were included in the study.Results: The survey included 117 patients. Mean age was 50 (SD 10) years, body mass index (BMI) 43 (SD 8) kg/m(2) and HbA1c 64 (SD 18) mmol/mol before surgery. One year post-GBP, BMI was reduced to 31 (SD 6) kg/m(2). HbA1c was 43 (SD 10) mmol/mol, and in 66% (77/117) treatment for diabetes had been discontinued. Occurrence of DRP before GBP was as follows: no DRP 62%, mild 26%, moderate 10%, severe 0% and proliferative DRP 2%. No significant changes in occurrence of DRP after surgery were observed. Twelve patients (16%) developed mild DRP. In seven patients with pre-existing DRP, deterioration was observed and two of these patients required treatment for sight-threatening DRP. No association between preoperative BMI, HbA1c or reduction in HbA1c and worsening of DRP was found.Conclusion: In a majority of patients, no deterioration of DRP following GBP was observed. Screening for DRP before planned surgery is recommended for all diabetic patients about to undergo bariatric surgery to identify any pre-existing DRP.
