Clinical Indications, Utilization, and Funding of Bariatric Surgery in Europe.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The objective of this study was to evaluate the current utilization, the level of endorsement by professional societies, and health technology assessment bodies, as well as the reimbursement levels for bariatric surgery in European countries.

Materials and methods

We performed an analysis of the indications for bariatric surgery based on national clinical and commissioning guidelines, current utilization of surgery, characteristics of patients who underwent surgery, and reimbursement tariffs in Belgium, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy, and Sweden. Data were obtained from national patient registries, administrative databases, and published literature for the year 2012.

Results

Despite clear consensus outlined in clinical guidelines, significant differences were found in the eligibility criteria for surgery. Patients with no significant comorbidities were deemed eligible if they had a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or 50 kg/m(2) in Denmark. Irrespective of the country, patients with comorbidities were eligible if they had a BMI of 35 kg/m(2). The highest utilization of bariatric surgery (number of surgeries per 1 M population) was observed in Belgium (928), Sweden (761), and France (571) while Italy (128), England (117), and Germany (72) had the lowest utilization. There was a strong negative correlation between utilization and average BMI level of the patient population (r = -.909, p = 0.005). The annual per capita spending on surgery differed significantly between countries, ranging from 0.54 in Germany to 4.33 in Belgium.

Conclusions

There are significant variations in the clinical indications, utilization, and funding of bariatric surgery in European countries.

Health Disparities in Adolescent Bariatric Surgery: Nationwide Outcomes and Utilization.

Project description:PURPOSE:Bariatric surgery represents an appropriate treatment for adolescent severe obesity, but its utilization remains low in this patient population. We studied the impact of race and sex on preoperative characteristics, outcomes, and utilization of adolescent bariatric surgery. METHODS:Retrospective analysis (2007-2014) of adolescent bariatric surgery using the Bariatric Outcomes Longitudinal Database, a national database that collects bariatric surgical care data. We assessed the relationships between baseline characteristics and outcomes (weight loss and remission of obesity-related conditions [ORCs]). Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and U.S. census data, we calculated the ratio of severe obesity and bariatric procedures among races and determined the ratio of ratios to assess for disparities. RESULTS:About 1,539 adolescents underwent bariatric surgery. Males had higher preoperative body mass index (BMI; 51.8 ± 10.5 vs. 47.1 ± 8.7, p < .001) and higher rates of obstructive sleep apnea and dyslipidemia. Blacks had higher preoperative BMI (52.4 ± 10.6 vs. 47.3 ± 8.3; 48.7 ± 8.8; 48.2 ± 12.1 kg/m2; whites, Hispanics, and others, respectively p < .001) and higher rates of hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, and asthma. Weight loss and ORCs remission rates did not differ between sexes or races after accounting for the rate of severe obesity in each racial group. White adolescents underwent bariatric surgery at a higher proportion than blacks and Hispanics (2.5 and 2.3 times higher, respectively). CONCLUSIONS:Preoperative characteristics vary according to race and sex. Race and sex do not impact 12-month weight loss or ORC's remission rates. Minority adolescents undergo bariatric surgery at lower-than-expected rates.

The effect of the Ontario Bariatric Network on health services utilization after bariatric surgery: a retrospective cohort study.

Project description:BackgroundIn 2009, the Ontario Bariatric Network was established to address the exploding demand by Ontario residents for bariatric surgery services outside Canada. We compared the use of postoperative hospital services between out-of-country surgery recipients and patients within the Ontario Bariatric Network.MethodsWe conducted a population-based, comparative study using administrative data held at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences. We included Ontario residents who underwent bariatric surgery between 2007 and 2012 either outside the country or at one of the Ontario Bariatric Network's designated centres of excellence. The primary outcome was use of hospital services in Ontario within 1 year after surgery.ResultsA total of 4852 patients received bariatric surgery out of country, and 5179 patients underwent surgery through the Ontario Bariatric Network. After adjustment, surgery at a network centre was associated with a significantly lower utilization rate of postoperative hospital services than surgery out of country (rate ratio 0.90, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.84 to 0.97). No statistically significant differences were found with respect to time in critical care or mortality. However, the physician assessment and reoperation rates were significantly higher among patients who received surgery at a network centre than among those who had bariatric surgery out of country (rate ratio 4.10, 95% CI 3.69 to 4.56, and rate ratio 1.84, 95% CI 1.34 to 2.53, respectively).InterpretationThe implementation of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary provincial program to replace outsourcing of bariatric surgical services was associated with less use of postoperative hospital services by Ontario residents undergoing bariatric surgery. Future research should include an economic evaluation to determine the costs and benefits of the Ontario Bariatric Network.

Nutritional Recommendations for Adult Bariatric Surgery Patients: Clinical Practice.

Project description:Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective treatment for morbid obesity and its associated metabolic complications. To ensure long-term postoperative success, patients must be prepared to adopt comprehensive lifestyle changes. This review summarizes the current evidence and expert opinions with regard to nutritional care in the perioperative and long-term postoperative periods. A literature search was performed with the use of different lines of searches for narrative reviews. Nutritional recommendations are divided into 3 main sections: 1) presurgery nutritional evaluation and presurgery diet and supplementation; 2) postsurgery diet progression, eating-related behaviors, and nutritional therapy for common gastrointestinal symptoms; and 3) recommendations for lifelong supplementation and advice for nutritional follow-up. We recognize the need for uniform, evidence-based nutritional guidelines for bariatric patients and summarize recommendations with the aim of optimizing long-term success and preventing complications.

Clinical Management of Major Postoperative Bleeding After Bariatric Surgery.

Project description:IntroductionMajor postoperative bleeding (mPOB) is the most common complication after bariatric surgery. Its intesity varies from self-limiting to life-threatening situations. Comprehensive decision-making and treatment strategies are mandatory but not established yet.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzied our prospectively collected database of our bariatric patients during 2012-2022. The primary study endpoint was major postoperative bleeding (mPOB) defined as hemoglobin drop > 2 g/dl or clinically relevant bleeding requiring intervention (transfusion, endoscopy or surgery). Secondary endpoints were overall complications according to Clavien-Dindo-Classification and comprehensive-complication-index (CCI).ResultsWe identified 1017 patients, of whom 667 underwent gastric bypass (GB) and 350 sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Major postoperative bleeding occured in 39 patients (total 3.8%; 5.1% after GB and 2.3% after SG). Patients with mPOB were more often diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (p = 0.039), chronic kidney failure (p = 0.013) or received antiplatelet drug treatment (p = 0.003). The interval from detection to intervention within 24 h was 92.1% (35/39). Blood transfusions were necessary in 20/39 cases (total 51.3%; 45.2% after GB and 75% after SG; p = 0.046). Luminal bleeding only occured after GB (19/31; 61.3%), while all mPOB after SG were intraabdominal (p = 0.002). Reoperations were performed in 21/39 (total 53.8%; 48.4% after GB and 75% after SG; p = 0.067). CCI in patients with mPOB was 34.7 overall, with 31.2 after GB and 47.9 after SG (p = 0.005).ConclusionThe clinical appearance of mPOB depends on the type of surgery with severe bleedings after SG. We suggest a surgery first approach for mPOB after SG and an endoscopy first approach after GB.

Impact of bariatric surgery on health care utilization and costs among patients with diabetes.

Project description:The effect of bariatric surgery on health care utilization and costs among individuals with type 2 diabetes remains unclear.To examine health care utilization and costs in an insured cohort of individuals with type 2 diabetes after bariatric surgery.Cohort study derived from administrative data from 2002 to 2008 from 7 Blue Cross Blue Shield Plans.Seven thousand eight hundred six individuals with type 2 diabetes who had bariatric surgery.Cost (inpatient, outpatient, pharmacy, and others) and utilization (number of inpatient days, outpatient visits, specialist visits).Compared with presurgical costs, the ratio of hospital costs (excluding the initial surgery), among beneficiaries who had any hospital costs, was higher in years 2 through 6 of the postsurgery period and increased over time [post 1: odds ratio (OR)=0.58; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.50-0.67; post 6: OR=3.43; 95% CI, 2.60-4.53]. In comparison with the presurgical period, the odds of having any health care costs was lower in the postsurgery period and remained relatively flat over time. Among those with hospitalizations, the adjusted ratio of inpatient days was higher after surgery (post 1: OR=1.05; 95% CI, 0.94-1.16; post 6: OR=2.77; 95% CI, 1.57-4.90). Among those with primary care visits, the adjusted OR was lower after surgery (post 1: OR=0.80; 95% CI, 0.78-0.82; post 6: OR=0.66; 95% CI, 0.57-0.76).: In the 6 years after surgery, individuals with type 2 diabetes did not have lower health care costs than before surgery.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery

Project description:The genomic landscape of hepatic tissue affected by nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in severely obese adolescents undergoing bariatric surgery is unknown. Our purpose here was to uncover genomic profiles of obese controls, and obese cases with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), borderline nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and definite nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, in order to clarify molecular functions, biological processes, and pathways that are dysregulated in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis in the severely obese adolescent. In a prospective observational cohort study, we have intra-operatively obtained 165 liver samples; of these 67 were submited for microarray analysis. Through ANOVA, we found 8648 genes with differential regulation between the four histologies; from these, we uncovered gene signatures shared between borderline and definite nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and gene sets with differential effects between borderline and definite.
