EP.TH.632A single centre’s experience with bariatric surgery outcomes compared to UK NBSR third report 2020
Abstract Bariatric Surgery has become a routine elective operation offered to patients with obesity (BMI >30) and obesity related diseases. The UK national Bariatric Surgery registry (NBSR) publishes data from record bariatric surgeries. Aim We compare one Bariatric service’s outcomes with the outcomes of the NBSR- Third Report 2020. Outcomes; 30-day mortality and complications, length of stay (LOS), 1-year weight loss for Gastric Sleeve (GS) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypasses. Method We collected data from one bariatric unit over a 98-month period. Data were taken from bariatric specialist nurses and electronic patient records. This was then compared with the NBSR report 2020. Results NBSR UK records 48.8% bypasses and 35.4% GS compared with our department (81.2% bypasses and 9.5% GS.) The average weight-loss 1-year post op for GS 36.9kg (NBSR 40.3kg) and for bypass 60.2kg (NBSR 44.1 kg) The average LOS for Bypass was 2.37 days (95%CI 2.3-.2.7) compared with the NBSR 2.6 (95% CI: 2.5-2.7). Whereas GS 2.9 (95%CI: 2.3-3.4) compared to NBSR 2.5 (95% CI: 2.4-2.6). 30-day mortality for primary procedures was 0% for Bypasses and GS compared with the NBSR 0.05%. 30 day complications at 1.74% compared with NBSR <2.38%. Conclusion Our unit proportionally performs more bypasses compared with the rest of UK and has greater 1-year weight-Loss with bypass procedures. This bariatric unit had less 30 day mortality and complications compared with NBSR. Our department is meeting the national outcomes when compared with the rest of the UK.
