All-Cause and Specific-Cause Mortality Risk After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass in Patients With and Without Diabetes.

Objective

This study assessed all-cause and specific-cause mortality after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and in matched control subjects, stratified by diabetes status.

Research design and methods

RYGB patients were matched by age, BMI, sex, and diabetes status at time of surgery to nonsurgical control subjects using data from the electronic health record. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression were used to assess differences in all-cause and specific-cause mortality between RYGB patients and control subjects with and without diabetes.

Results

Of the 3,242 eligible RYGB patients enrolled from January 2004 to December 2015, control subjects were identified for 2,428 (n = 625 with diabetes and n = 1,803 without diabetes). Median postoperative follow-up w
