Abstrakt: | Introduction: Bariatric surgery improves many obesity-related comorbidities, yet the literature remains inconclusive on the impact of bariatric surgery on asthma. Our primary objective was to identify the long-term impact of bariatric surgery on asthma severity and medication use. Methods: A retrospective review was completed of all patients with a diagnosis of asthma who underwent bariatric surgery over 10 years at a single institution. Primary outcomes were the number of asthma medications prescribed at five time points (preoperative, postoperative < 18 months, 19-36 months, 37-60 months, 60 + months) after bariatric surgery. Secondary outcomes were spirometry results and BMI. Results: There were 260 patients with 84.6% female predominance. There were 168 sleeve gastrectomy patients and 92 Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients. Mean age was 47.6 ± 10.7 years, mean BMI was 46.0 ± 6.8 kg/m 2 , and 54.2% were previous tobacco users. The total number of patients on two or more asthma medications decreased from 46% preoperatively to 41% at 18 months, to 36% at 36 months, and to 32% at 60 months after surgery. The total number of patients free from asthma medication increased from 25% preoperatively to 33% at 60 months postoperatively. Asthma medication use decreased in both surgery groups, and neither operation demonstrated superiority. No significant improvement nor differences were found between groups at any time point regarding FEV Conclusion: Bariatric surgery reduces the use of medications taken for management of asthma. The amount of asthma medication usage decreases with time and is sustained at 60 months after bariatric surgery. (© 2024.
