Long-term adverse events after sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass: a 7-year nationwide, observational, population-based, cohort study.

Background: Concerns are rising about the late adverse events following gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. We aimed to assess, over a 7-year period, the late adverse events after gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy compared with matched control groups.

Methods: In this nationwide, observational, population-based, cohort study, we used data extracted from the French National Health Insurance (Système National des Données de Santé) database.

[Monitoring adherence after weight loss surgery: Identifying factors leading to non-adherence in a cohort of 207 severely obese patients who have undergone surgery. An evaluation of severely obese patients’ adherence following weight loss surgery.].

Obese patients are increasingly being offered weight loss surgery, the success of which depends in part on the quality of a long-term follow-up after the procedure. A study was conducted with a cohort of 207 patients operated on in 2007 and 2008 who received follow-up care in a specialized nutrition department, with the aim of identifying factors affecting their adherence to their post-operative care agenda. Factors strongly linked to a lower level of adherence were the type of surgery and a patient's place of residence.

Multicentre cohort study of antihypertensive and lipid-lowering therapy cessation after bariatric surgery.

Background: Few studies have assessed changes in antihypertensive and lipid-lowering therapy after bariatric surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the 6-year rates of continuation, discontinuation or initiation of antihypertensive and lipid-lowering therapy after bariatric surgery compared with those in a matched control group of obese patients.

Methods: This nationwide observational population-based cohort study used data extracted from the French national health insurance database.

Association Between Bariatric Surgery and Rates of Continuation, Discontinuation, or Initiation of Antidiabetes Treatment 6 Years Later.

Importance: Few large-scale long-term prospective cohort studies have assessed changes in antidiabetes treatment after bariatric surgery.

Objective: To describe the association between bariatric surgery and rates of continuation, discontinuation, or initiation of antidiabetes treatment 6 years after bariatric surgery compared with a matched control obese group.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This nationwide observational population-based cohort study extracted health care reimbursement data from the French national health insurance database from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2015.
