Markers for Major Complications at Day-One Postoperative in Fast-Track Metabolic Surgery: Updated Metabolic Checklist.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In fast-track metabolic surgery, the window to identify complications is narrow. Postoperative checklists can be useful tools in the decision-making of safe early discharge. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of a checklist used in metabolic surgery.

Methods

Retrospective data from June 2018 to January 2021 was collected on all patients that underwent metabolic surgery in a high-volume bariatric hospital in the Netherlands. Patients without an available checklist were excluded. The primary outcome was major complications and the secondary outcomes were minor complications, readmission, and unplanned hospital visits within 30 days postoperatively.

Results

Major complications within 30 days postoperatively occurred in 62/1589 (3.9%)
