Impact of bariatric surgery in patients with HIV infection: a nationwide inpatient sample analysis, 2004-2014.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Despite rising rates of obesity among patients with HIV, the potential role for weight loss surgery in this population remains less clear. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the role of bariatric surgery on relevant clinical outcomes among hospitalized obese patients with HIV.

Design

Retrospective analysis using the United States Nationwide Inpatient Sample database from 2004 to 2014. Using Poisson regression, adjusted incidence risk ratios (IRR) were derived for clinical outcomes in patients with prior-bariatric surgery compared with those without bariatric surgery.

Patients

Patients with discharge co-diagnoses of morbid obesity and HIV.

Intervention

Bariatric surgery.

Main outcome measures

Primary outcome was in-hospital mortality.
