Abstrakt: Background: Obesity and obesity-related co-morbidities are risk factors for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Objectives: As bariatric surgery effectively addresses obesity-related conditions, we hypothesized that prior bariatric surgery may be associated with a reduced risk of severe COVID-19. Small-scale studies have suggested favorable outcomes; however, large-scale nationwide database studies are scarce.
Setting: A retrospective analysis of the 2020 Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project National Inpatient Sample.
Methods: All patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were examined and stratified by history of bariatric surgery. We performed 1:1 propensity score matching and compared patients with COVID-19 with and without prior bariatric surgery. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality rate. Secondary outcomes included total hospital costs, length of hospital stay, and intensive treatment needs. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent factors associated with in-hospital mortality.
Results: In-hospital mortality rate was significantly lower in patients with prior bariatric surgery (6.2% versus 8.7%, P = .001). Furthermore, sepsis, acute kidney injury, and mechanical ventilation rates were significantly lower in patients with COVID-19 and prior bariatric surgery, resulting in a reduced need for intensive treatment (12.1% versus 14.9%, P = .005). The total hospitalization costs were lower, and the length of hospital stay was shorter in patients with prior bariatric surgery, demonstrating statistical significance. Old age, male sex, body mass index >50, and co-morbidities were significantly associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19 and prior bariatric surgery.
Conclusions: Prior bariatric surgery was independently associated with decreased mortality and better in-hospital outcomes in patients hospitalized for COVID-19.
