Long-term all-cause and cause-specific mortality for four bariatric surgery procedures.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This retrospective study incorporated long-term mortality results after different bariatric surgery procedures and for multiple age at surgery groups.

Methods

Participants with bariatric surgery (surgery) and without (non-surgery) were matched (1:1) for age, sex, BMI, and surgery date with a driver license application/renewal date. Mortality rates were compared by Cox regression, stratified by sex, surgery type, and age at surgery.

Results

Participants included 21,837 matched surgery and non-surgery pairs. Follow-up was up to 40 years (mean [SD], 13.2 [9.5] years). All-cause mortality was 16% lower in surgery compared with non-surgery groups (hazard ratio, 0.84; 95% CI: 0.79-0.90; p < 0.001). Significantly lower mortality after bariatric surgery was observed
