Incidence of end-stage renal disease following bariatric surgery in the Swedish Obese Subjects Study.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Obesity is a major public health problem leading to co-morbidities such as diabetes, hypertension and kidney failure. Bariatric surgery results in pronounced and maintained weight loss and prevention of obesity-related diseases and their complications. Most studies of bariatric surgery on kidney disease show improvements after surgery. However, long-term studies analyzing hard end-points are lacking. Here we report on the long-term effects of bariatric surgery compared to usual obesity care on incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) alone and in combination with chronic kidney disease stage 4 (CKD4/ESRD). METHODS:4047 patients were included in the Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) study. Inclusion criteria were age 37-60 years and BMI???34 in men and BMI???38 in women. Patients in the bariatric surgery group (N?=?2010) underwent banding (18%), vertical banded gastroplasty (69%), or gastric bypass (13%); controls (N?=?2037) received usual obesity care. In this analysis, patients were followed up for a median time of 18 years. The incidence of ESRD and CKD4 was obtained by crosschecking the SOS database with the Swedish National Patient Register. RESULTS:During follow-up, ESRD occurred in 13 patients in the surgery group and in 26 patients in the control group (adjusted hazard ratio (HR)?=?0.27; 95% CI 0.12-0.60; p?=?0.001). The number of CKD4/ESRD events was 23 in the surgery group and 39 in the control group (adjusted HR?=?0.33; 95% CI 0.18-0.62; p?
