Change in C-reactive protein after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass through 7 years of follow-up.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Long-term change in CRP is not well characterized in the context of RYGB.

Objective

To report C-reactive protein (CRP) after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB).

Setting

Between 2006 and 2009 1770 adults enrolled in a prospective cohort study underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) at 1 of 10 U.S. hospitals.

Methods

Research assessments were conducted before surgery and annually postoperatively for up to 7 years. This study included those with high-sensitivity CRP assessed before surgery and 1 or more follow-up assessments (n = 1180).

Results

Before surgery, participants' median age was 46 years, and the median body mass index (BMI) was 46 kg/m²; 80% were female. Before surgery, mean (95% confidence interval [CI]) CRP was the
