Evaluating National Trends in Bleeding Associated with Metabolic Bariatric Surgery over 7 Years.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Post-operative bleeding is a known complication after metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). This study evaluates the national trends in the rates of bleeding, factors associated with bleeding, and impact of bleeding complication on other outcomes.

Methods

MBSAQIP database from 2015 to 2021 was utilized to perform multivariable regression analysis of pre-operative factors associated with bleeding for all MBS, as well as gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) subsets. Propensity matching using pre-operative factors was performed for patients with and without a bleeding complication to compare peri-operative outcomes.

Results

Rates of post-operative bleeding decreased overall from 1.01% in 2015 to 0.69% in 2021. RYGB (OR 2.08, p < 0.01) had a higher ri
