ABSTRACT: Objective
The study aimed to assess major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), complications requiring revision surgery, and bariatric conversion surgery 7 years after gastric bypass (GB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) using real-world data.Background
GB and SG both result in weight loss and improved cardiometabolic health. Whether the long-term rate of MACE differs between the 2 bariatric procedures is unclear.Methods
In this population-based retrospective cohort study, we used inhospital National Health Registry data from January 2012 to December 2018. Patients undergoing GB were 1:1 propensity score-matched with patients who had SG. The primary outcome was the incidence of MACE, defined as acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, cardiac arrest, or hospitalization for heart failure. Secondary outcomes encompassed individual MACE components, postoperative complications, and the need for bariatric conversion surgery.Results
Among 5240 propensity score-matched pairs, the incidence rate per 1000 person-years of MACE was 2.8 among patients undergoing GB and 3.2 among those undergoing SG (hazard ratio [HR], 0.92; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.62-1.37). Single components of MACE were not different between both groups. Patients after GB had a higher risk of long-term postoperative complications requiring a revision surgery compared with those after SG (HR, 3.53 [95% CI, 2.78-4.49]). Bariatric conversion surgery was less frequently performed among patients undergoing GB compared with patients undergoing SG (HR, 0.09 [95% CI, 0.06-0.13]).Conclusions
In this study, the performance of GB versus SG was associated with a similar risk of MACE. While postoperative complications were more frequent among patients undergoing GB, patients following SG had a higher probability of bariatric conversion surgery.
