Association of Bariatric Surgery Using Laparoscopic Banding, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, or Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy vs Usual Care Obesity Management With All-Cause Mortality

Abstract: Among obese patients in a large integrated health fund in Israel, bariatric surgery using laparoscopic banding, gastric bypass, or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, compared with usual care nonsurgical obesity management, was associated with lower all-cause mortality over a median follow-up of approximately 4.5 years. The evidence of this association adds to the limited literature describing beneficial outcomes of these 3 types of bariatric surgery compared with usual care obesity management alone.

“…There were 105 deaths (1.3%) in the surgical cohort during a median follow‐up of 4.3 years and 583 deaths (2.3%) among nonsurgical patients during a median follow‐up of 4.0 years. The adjusted hazard ratio for mortality among nonsurgical vs surgical patients was 2.02 (95% CI, 1.6‐2.5) …”

“…Nonetheless, it is very important to put these detrimental outcomes of metabolic surgery in perspective. The success rate and health benefits of metabolic surgery are also much stronger and longer lasting than those of medical therapy (28,29,30,31,167,168). The reduced overall long-term mortality, which has been repeatedly shown after metabolic surgery includes mortality from suicide (27,28,29,114), clearly outweighs the potential risks of metabolic operations.…”
