Abstract
BACKGROUND The Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) database collects data from all accredited centers in the US. A prior study showed data quality issues limiting use of up to 20% of the 2015 database. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the completeness and data quality (internal validity, accuracy, and consistency) of the MBSAQIP database between 2015 and 2019. SETTING United States. METHODS All subsets of data from the MBSAQIP Participant User Data File (PUDF) were compiled into one main file. Completeness, internal validity, accuracy, and consistency were evaluated. Completeness was determined via missing values. Internal validity was assessed using the percentage of patients with a body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m2 who underwent primary bariatric surgery. Accuracy was evaluated using reported versus calculated BMI. Consistency was assessed using the percentage of patients with a gain of >5 or a loss of >20 units of BMI change in 30 days. Effects across years were assessed using a chi-squared test. RESULTS Missing data for age, BMI, and ASA was consistently low (<2.5%) with no significant difference across years. Only .02% of patients who underwent a primary bariatric procedure had a reported BMI <30 kg/m2. The mean difference between reported versus calculated BMI was -.02 units. A maximum of .33% of patients gained >5 units of BMI, and a maximum of .85% of patients lost > 20 units of BMI in early follow-up. CONCLUSIONS While the MBSAQIP is a database with acceptable data quality and minimal changes from 2015-2019, ongoing efforts are needed to improve data.

Surg Obes Relat Dis 2023; 19:1375-1381. [PMID: 37532668 DOI: 10.1016/j.soard.2023.06.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Socioeconomic status may influence weight loss, postoperative complications, and health-related quality of life after bariatric surgery. Chronic use of opioid analgesics is a known risk after bariatric surgery, but whether socioeconomic factors are associated with new chronic use of opioid analgesics has not been investigated in depth. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to identify socioeconomic factors associated with the development of new chronic use of opioid analgesics after gastric bypass surgery. SETTING All hospitals performing bariatric surgery in Sweden. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study with prospectively collected data including all primary gastric bypass procedures in Sweden between 2007 and 2015. Data were collected from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry, the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register, and Statistics Sweden. The primary outcome was new chronic opioid use. RESULTS Of the 44,671 participants, 1438 patients became new chronic opioid users. Longer education (secondary education; odds ratio [OR] = .71; 95% CI, .62-.81) or higher education (OR = .45; 95% CI, .38-.53), higher disposable income (20th-50th percentile: OR = .75; 95% CI, .66-.85; 50th-80th percentile: OR = .50; 95% CI, .43-.58; and the highest 80th percentile: OR = .40; 95% CI, .32-.51) were significantly associated with lower risk for new chronic opioid use. Being a second-generation immigrant (OR = 1.54; 95% CI, 1.24-1.90), being on a disability pension or early retirement (OR = 3.04; 95% CI, 2.67-3.45), receiving social benefits (OR = 1.88; 95% CI, 1.59-2.22), being unemployed for <100 days (OR = 1.25; 95% CI, 1.08-1.45), being unemployed for >100 days (OR = 1.41; 95% CI, 1.16-1.71), and being divorced or a widow or widower (OR = 1.35; 95% CI, 1.17-1.55) were significantly associated with a higher risk for chronic opioid use. CONCLUSION Given that long-term opioid use has detrimental effects after bariatric surgery, it is important that information and follow-up are optimized for patients with shorter education, lower income, and disability pension or early retirement because they are at an increased risk of new chronic opioid analgesics use.

Abstract
Obesity is a crucial health problem because it leads to several chronic diseases with an increased risk of mortality and it is very hard to reverse with conventional treatment including changes in lifestyle and pharmacotherapy. Bariatric surgery (BS), comprising a range of various surgical procedures that modify the digestive tract favouring weight loss, is considered the most effective medical intervention to counteract severe obesity, especially in the presence of metabolic comorbidities. The Enhanced Recovery After Bariatric Surgery (ERABS) protocols include a set of recommendations that can be applied before and after BS. The primary aim of ERABS protocols is to facilitate and expedite the recovery process while enhancing the overall effectiveness of bariatric procedures. ERABS protocols include indications about preoperative fasting as well as on how to feed the patient on the day of the intervention, and how to nourish and hydrate in the days after BS. This narrative review examines the application, the feasibility and the efficacy of ERABS protocols applied to the field of nutrition. We found that ERABS protocols, in particular not fasting the patient before the surgery, are often not correctly applied for reasons that are not evidence-based. Furthermore, we identified some gaps in the research about some practises that could be implemented in the presence of additional evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgical patients are vulnerable to cardiopulmonary depressant effects of opioids. The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol to improve postoperative morbidity recommends regional anesthesia for postoperative pain management. However, there is limited evidence that peripheral nerve blocks (PNB) have added benefit. OBJECTIVE Study the effect of PNB on postoperative pain and opioid use following bariatric surgery. SETTING Academic medical center, United States. METHODS We conducted a cohort study of patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. A total of 44 patients received the control ERAS protocol with preoperative oral extended-release morphine sulfate (MS), while 45 patients underwent a PNB with either intrathecal morphine (IM) or oral MS per local ERAS protocol. The PNB group either underwent preoperative bilateral T7 paravertebral (PVT) PNBs (27 patients) with IM or postoperative transversus abdominis plane (TAP) PNBs (18 patients) with oral MS. The primary outcome compared total opioid consumption between the ERAS control group and the PNB group up to 48 hours postoperatively. Secondary outcomes included comparison by block type and postoperative pain scores. RESULTS PVT or TAP PNB patients had a reduction in mean postoperative oral morphine equivalent (OME) requirements compared with the ERAS protocol cohort at 24 hours (93.9 versus 42.8 mg), P < .0001; at 48 hours (72.6 versus 40.5 mg); and in pain scores at 24 hours (5.64/10 versus 4.46/10), P = .02. OME and pain scores were higher in the SG cohort. CONCLUSION Addition of truncal PNB to standard ERAS protocol for bariatric surgical patients reduces postoperative total opioid consumption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of urinary catheter avoidance in bariatric enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols is yet to be established. The purpose of the current study is to determine whether urinary catheter use in patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) procedures has an effect on postoperative outcomes. METHODS An institutional database was utilized to identify adult patients undergoing primary minimally invasive RYGB surgery. Outcomes included incidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) within 30 days postoperatively, 30-day readmission rates, proportion of patients discharged after postoperative day 1 (delayed discharge), length of stay (LOS), and operating room time. These were compared between propensity-matched groups with and without urinary catheter placement. RESULTS There were no significant differences in postoperative UTI's (2.2% for both cohorts, P = .593) or 30-day readmission rates for patients with and without urinary catheters (6.6% and 4.4%, respectively, P = .260). Mean LOS (1.7 vs. 1.5 days, P = .001) and the proportion of patients having a delayed discharge (47.3% vs. 33.7%, P = .001) was greater in patients with a catheter. Operating room time was longer in the urinary catheter group (221.8 vs. 207.9 minutes, P = .002). DISCUSSION Avoidance of indwelling urinary catheters in RYGB surgical patients decreased delayed discharges and LOS without affecting readmission or reoperation rates. Therefore, we recommend that avoidance of urinary catheters in routine RYGB surgery be considered for inclusion into standardized ERAS protocols. Urinary catheters should continue to be utilized in select cases, however, as these were not shown to affect rate of UTIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery protocols (ERPs) after metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) may help decrease length of stay (LOS) and postoperative nausea/vomiting but implementation is often fraught with challenges. The primary aim of this pilot study was to standardize a MBS ERP with a real-time data support dashboard and checklist and assess impact on global and individual element compliance. The secondary aim was to evaluate 30 day outcomes including LOS, hospital readmissions, and re-operations. METHODS AND PROCEDURES An ERP, paper checklist, and virtual dashboard aligned on MBS patient care elements for pre-, intra-, and post-operative phases of care were developed and sequentially deployed. The dashboard includes surgical volumes, operative times, ERP compliance, and 30 day outcomes over a rolling 18 month period. Overall and individual element ERP compliance and outcomes were compared pre- and post-implementation via two-tailed Student's t-tests. RESULTS Overall, 471 patients were identified (pre-implementation: 193; post-implementation: 278). Baseline monthly average compliance rates for all patient care elements were 1.7%, 3.7%, and 6.2% for pre-, intra-, and post-operative phases, respectively. Following ERP integration with dashboard and checklist, the intra-operative phase achieved the highest overall monthly average compliance at 31.3% (P < 0.01). Following the intervention, pre-operative acetaminophen administration had the highest monthly mean compliance at ≥ 99.1%. Overall TAP block use increased 3.2-fold from a baseline mean rate of 25.4-80.8% post-implementation (P < 0.01). A significant decrease in average intra-operative monthly morphine milligram equivalents use was noted with a 56% drop pre- vs. post-implementation. Average LOS decreased from 2.0 to 1.7 days post-implementation with no impact on post-operative outcomes. CONCLUSION Implementation of a checklist and dashboard facilitated ERP integration and adoption of process measures with many improvements in compliance but no impact on 30 day outcomes. Further research is required to understand how clinical support tools can impact ERP adoption among MBS patients.

Abstract
Background Enhanced recovery after bariatric surgery (ERABS) is an approach developed to improve outcomes in obese surgical patients. Unfortunately, it is not evenly implemented in Italy. The Italian Society for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Diseases and the Italian Society of Anesthesia, Analgesia, Resuscitation and Intensive Care joined in drafting an official statement on ERABS. Methods To assess the effectiveness and safety of ERABS and to develop evidence-based recommendations with regard to pre-, intra-, and post-operative care for obese patients undergoing ERABS, a 13-member expert task force of surgeons and anesthesiologists from Italian certified IFSO center of excellence in bariatric surgery was established and a review of English-language papers conducted. Oxford 2011 Levels of Evidence and U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Grade Definitions were used to grade the level of evidence and the strength of recommendations, respectively. The supporting evidence and recommendations were reviewed and discussed by the entire group at meetings to achieve a final consensus. Results Compared to the conventional approach, ERABS reduces the length of hospital stay and does not heighten the risk of major post-operative complications, re-operations, and hospital re-admissions, nor does it increase the overall surgical costs. A total of 25 recommendations were proposed, covering pre-operative evaluation and care (7 items), intra-operative management (1 item, 11 sub-items), and post-operative care and discharge (6 items). Conclusions ERABS is an effective and safe approach. The recommendations allow the proper management of obese patients undergoing ERABS for a better outcome.

Abstract
Background Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol has been implemented in surgeries for more than 20 years, this study investigated the global states and hotspots of ERAS research. Methods Based on the Web of Science database, a bibliometric and visualized study of original ERAS research from 2000 to 2020 was performed, including the trends of publications and citations; distribution of countries, authors, institutions, sources; study design, level of evidence, served surgeries and surgical disciplines. Hotspots were revealed by research interests and keywords. Results Within the field of original ERAS research, there was a rising trend in annual publications and citations. The USA was the greatest contributor. Kehlet, H, University of Copenhagen were the most influential author and institution, respectively. British Journal of Surgery and Annals of Surgery were the most cited journals. Though there were more prospective designs, more than half of the studies presented level IV evidence and had fewer citations and citation densities compared to that of level II and level III. ERAS protocol was overwhelmingly implemented in colorectal surgeries. Most studies focused on elements of ERAS, the top three research interests were “length of stay,” “pain management,” and “complications.” In recent years, bariatric surgery, compliance with ERAS, and feasibility in the elderly were new hotspots. Conclusion Revealing the global states and hotspots can help researchers better understand the trends in ERAS research. The USA was the greatest contributor to ERAS research. Kehlet, H, was the most influential author in the field. Bariatric surgery, compliance with ERAS, and feasibility in the elderly represent the new trend of ERAS research. Most of the ERAS research had a low evidence levels, studies with high-level evidence are still required in this field.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of our study was to assess long-term opioid use following bariatric surgery in patients on preoperative narcotics. METHODS We evaluated patients utilizing preoperative opioids (OP) who underwent primary laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) from 2013 to 2020. Patients were propensity-matched to those without preoperative opioid use (NOP) by demographics and comorbidities. Our objectives were to compare opioid use at 1 and 3 years after surgery and evaluate perioperative outcomes. RESULTS A total of 806 patients, matched 1:1 were evaluated, with 82.7% being females. Mean age was 46.5 years in the OP and 45.6 years in the NOP (p = 0.0018), preoperative BMI was 45.8 in the OP and 46.1 in the NOP (p = 0.695). All patients were followed up for 1 year. In the OP, 156 (38.7%) patients were taking opioids 1 year after surgery as opposed to 27 (6.7%) in the NOP (p < 0.0001). Three years after surgery, 74 (37.5%) patients in the OP and 27 (14.4%) in the NOP were taking outpatient opioids (p < 0.0001). There was no statistically significant difference between OP and NOP groups in terms of readmissions (9.4% vs. 5.7% p = 0.06), reinterventions (3.7 vs. 1.7% p = 0.13), reoperations (3.5% vs. 1.5% p = 0.11), or emergency room visits (8.9% vs. 7.2% p = 0.44). There were no mortalities. CONCLUSION Most patients requiring preoperative opioids can be weaned off after bariatric surgery. Enhanced recovery pathways are key to obtaining these results. Preoperative opioid use is not associated with increased complications compared to opioid-naïve patients.

Abstract
Currently, there is a lack of consensus on the provision of preoperative carbohydrate loading in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) due to theoretical concerns including the possibility of delayed gastric emptying, perioperative hyperglycemia, and poor surgical outcomes. This narrative review summarizes the accumulating evidence on preoperative carbohydrate loading in this population and whether these concerns are supported by preliminary evidence. In general, the available research suggests that carbohydrate loading may be implemented in those with T2DM without increased risk for intra- and postoperative hyperglycemia or surgical complications. However, there is strong justification for future research to definitively study this highly debated and timely topic. Ultimately, the inclusion of preoperative carbohydrate loading for surgical patients with DM should be guided by the surgical team's clinical judgment and individualized based on patient needs and characteristics.

Abstract
The purpose of this article is to provide a summary of the Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean delivery (ERAC) protocol written by a Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology (SOAP) committee and approved by the SOAP Board of Directors in May 2019. The goal of the consensus statement is to provide both practical and where available, evidence-based recommendations regarding ERAC. These recommendations focus on optimizing maternal recovery, maternal-infant bonding, and perioperative outcomes after cesarean delivery. They also incorporate management strategies for this patient cohort, including recommendations from existing guidelines issued by professional organizations such as the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Society of Anesthesiologists. This consensus statement focuses on anesthesia-related and perioperative components of an enhanced recovery pathway for cesarean delivery and provides the level of evidence for each recommendation.

Abstract
Background: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways focus on decreasing surgical stress and promoting return to normal function for patients undergoing surgical procedures. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of an ERAS protocol on outcomes of patients undergoing primary sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Outcomes included hospital length of stay (LOS), and management of postoperative pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) measured by pain medications and antiemetic use, respectively. Incidence of 90-day emergency department (ED) visits, readmissions, and complications were also analyzed. Methods: A retrospective review was performed from October 1, 2016 to October 31, 2018 of patients enrolled in the ERAS versus the conventional pathway. Patient baseline characteristics, pain and nausea scores, LOS, and postoperative outcome variables were collected. Results: Non-ERAS (n = 193) and ERAS (n = 173) groups had similar patient characteristics. Fewer ERAS patients required postoperative opioids and antiemetics (P < .01), with a significant difference in postoperative nausea control in favor of ERAS patients (P < .05). There was a decreasing trend in median LOS (2 versus 1, P = .28), 90-day postoperative readmissions (10.4% versus 8.1%, P = .47), and major adverse events (5.2% versus 1.7%, P = .07) after ERAS implementation. The ED visits and postoperative need for intravenous fluid for dehydration were significantly lower in the ERAS group (P = .01). Conclusion: Implementation of ERAS pathway for bariatric surgery was associated with less opioid usage, PONV, ED visits, and postoperative need for intravenous fluids, without increasing LOS, 90-day readmission or rates of adverse effects.

Enhanced recovery after surgery for sleeve gastrectomies: improved patient outcomes. Surg Obes Relat Dis 2021; 17:1541-1547.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a paradigm shift in perioperative care and incorporates patient-centered, evidence-based, and multidisciplinary team-developed pathways for a surgical specialty. ERAS pathways aim to reduce the patient's surgical stress response, optimize their physiologic function, facilitate recovery, and reduce the length of stay. The bariatric program at our institution was previously managed by many surgeons with anecdotal preferences, resulting in increased costs, lengths of stay, and opioid prescribing. OBJECTIVES To describe a standardized ERAS pathway for patients undergoing a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy procedure in order to enhance perioperative care and reduce opioid usage. SETTING ERAS bariatric program in New Jersey. METHODS The ERAS bariatric program at our institution was implemented in January 2018. All patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy from January 2016 to November 2017 (preimplementation) as well as from February 2018 to October 2020 (postimplementation) were included in this retrospective study, with those undergoing procedures in December 2017 and January 2018 excluded due to the transition to the ERAS protocol. Differences in lengths of stay, direct costs, and 30-day readmission rates were compared between the pre- and postimplementation periods. The primary goal of our ERAS pathway was to optimize patient care with reduced opioid usage, and the secondary goal was to reduce the costs for care. RESULTS A total of 1988 patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy were identified, with 789 patients in the preimplementation group and 1199 patients in the postimplementation group. In a multivariate analysis, the mean length of a hospital stay in the postimplementation period was 18% lower (95% confidence interval [CI], 14-22) than that of the preimplementation period (P < .001), while the average opioid morphine milligram equivalents administered in the postoperative period was 61% (95% CI, 57%-65%) less than that of the preimplementation period (P < .001). Average direct costs decreased by $155 (95% CI, -$358 to $48) per case in the postimplementation period (P = .133), and there was no significant difference in the 30-day readmission rate between the pre- and postimplementation periods (3.8% versus 3.0%, respectively; odds ratio, .81; 95% CI, .49-1.35; P = .413). CONCLUSION In this study, patient outcomes after ERAS pathway implementation were significantly better than in historical cases. Implementing the bariatric ERAS program for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at our institution has led to rapid postoperative recovery of patients, shorter lengths of stay, reduced opioid usage, and decreased costs per case, thereby increasing the overall cost savings to the hospital. ERAS pathways in bariatric surgery represent an opportunity to enhance patient care while decreasing overall costs. We propose that cost-effective, tailor-made ERAS pathways for sleeve gastrectomy should be implemented in all designated centers of excellence, as they can have a great economic impact on the healthcare system.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bariatric enhanced recovery protocols can decrease length of stay (LOS) and hospital costs without compromising patient safety. Increased data is needed to compare patient outcomes before and after application of enhanced recovery pathways. We present a bariatric enhanced recovery protocol (BERP) at a community hospital. The objectives were to decrease hospital LOS and reduce schedule II substance use (medications with a high potential for abuse, potentially resulting in psychological or physical dependence), without compromising patient safety. METHODS This was a combined retrospective and prospective analysis of all patients undergoing bariatric surgery by two surgeons from September 2016 to April 2018. Mann-Whitney U, Pearson chi-square, and Fisher's exact tests were used to compare demographics, comorbidities, and outcomes. RESULTS Two hundred patients were evaluated. Overall median (interquartile range) age was 43.0 (36.0-54.0) years and body mass index (BMI) was 45.0 (40.6-50.3) kg/m2. Pre-protocol mean hospital LOS was 2.3 days while enhanced recovery protocol patients mean LOS was 1.4 days (p < 0.001). Sixty-five percent of BERP patients were discharged on hospital day 1, while no patients prior to the protocol were discharged before hospital day 2. Only 9% of BERP patients were discharged with schedule II medications, compared to 100% of the pre-protocol patients (p < 0.001). Intraoperative, in-hospital, and 30-day complication rates were not statistically significant between the two groups. CONCLUSION Community hospitals can reduce length of stay and narcotic prescribing without compromising safety-related outcomes. Significant reductions in the amount of schedule II medications can be achieved when using multimodal enhanced recovery protocol approaches.

Abstract
As part of a bariatric enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program, at-home follow-up using a novel Internet application was used to detect early complications. The study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this "connected surveillance" protocol over a 10-day follow-up. Patients were monitored 24/7 by a trained nursing team with daily surgeon review of patient self-reports. Morbidly obese patients (n = 281) underwent OAGB (126, 47.70%) or sleeve gastrectomy (138, 52.3%). Of 264 who completed the study (mean age 40 years [20-66]), 3 (1.1%) underwent revision for early complications; there were 6 (2.1%) readmissions and 22 (8.3%) consultations. In a bariatric surgery ERAS program, "Internet-connected surveillance" proved safe and effective in detecting 100% of early complications, and most patients were satisfied with their care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our aim was to conduct an up-to-date systematic review of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to determine the benefits and harms of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programme in bariatric surgery. METHODS MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, CINAHL and the Cochrane Library were searched for RCTs on ERAS versus standard care (SC) until April 2020. The primary endpoint was the length of hospital stay (LOS). RESULTS Five RCTs included a total of 610 procedures. ERAS adoption is capable of significantly reducing LOS (MD of - 0.51; 95% CI - 0.92 to - 0.10; P = 0.01) and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) (OR 0.42; 95% CI 0.19 to 0.95; P = 0.04). No significant differences in terms of adverse events and readmissions. CONCLUSIONS The implementation of ERAS in bariatric surgery produces a significant reduction in LOS and PONV.

Abstract
PURPOSE The current literature is sparse on post discharge pain management for bariatric surgical patients. This study aimed to determine if an opioid-sparing protocol could decrease opioid use during the postoperative period (hospital to home). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, we implemented an opioid-sparing protocol in January 2018, for patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) at our institution. We compared recovery time, pain scores (in hospital and at home), and perioperative opioid use between the historic control group (February 2017 to December 2017) and the opioid-sparing group (January 2018 to December 2018). A p value of < .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS The study included 400 patients (200 in each group), and 165 participated in the phone survey. Baseline characteristics were similar, except the control group had a higher body mass index and body weight. The average recovery time was significantly shorter in the opioid-sparing group (18.9 versus 35.3 days, P = .043). There was no significant difference in mean postoperative pain scores in the hospital or at home. The opioid-sparing group required significantly fewer opioids postoperatively (10.4 versus 16.1 morphine milligram equivalents, P < .001). Only 1 out of the 200 patients in the opioid-sparing arm requested an opioid prescription after discharge. CONCLUSION Implementation of an opioid-sparing protocol improved recovery time and reduced postoperative opioid use in the hospital and after discharge without changing perceived pain in patients undergoing LSG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Opioid analgesics are often prescribed to manage pain after bariatric surgery, which may develop into chronic prescription opioid use (CPOU) in opioid-naïve patients. Bariatric surgery may affect opioid use in those with or without presurgical CPOU. OBJECTIVE To compare CPOU persistence and incidence in a large multisite cohort of veterans undergoing bariatric surgery (open Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, laparoscopic RYGB, or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy) and matched nonsurgical controls. SETTING Veterans Administration hospitals. METHODS In a retrospective cohort study, we matched 1117 surgical patients with baseline CPOU to 9531 nonsurgical controls, and 2822 surgical patients without CPOU at baseline to 26,392 nonsurgical controls using sequential stratification. CPOU persistence in veterans with baseline CPOU was estimated using generalized estimating equations by procedure type. CPOU incidence in veterans without baseline CPOU was estimated in Cox regression models by procedure type because postoperative pain, complications, and absorption may differ by procedure. RESULTS In veterans with baseline CPOU, postsurgical CPOU declined over time for each surgical procedure; these trends did not differ between surgical patients and nonsurgical controls. In veterans without baseline CPOU, compared with nonsurgical controls, bariatric patients had higher CPOU incidence within 5 years after open Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (hazard ratio = 1.19; 95% confidence interval: 1.06-1.34) or laparoscopic open Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (hazard ratio = 1.22, 95% confidence interval: 1.06-1.41). Veterans undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy had higher CPOU incidence 1 to 5 years after surgery (hazard ratio = 1.28; 95% confidence interval: 1.05-1.56) than nonsurgical controls. CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery was associated with greater risk of CPOU incidence in patients without baseline CPOU but was not associated with greater CPOU persistence.
