AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of prior bariatric surgery on outcomes for patients undergoing hip fracture surgery, comparing them to a control group with a history of appendectomy.
- Results showed that bariatric patients had lower survival rates (87.2% vs. 91.8% at 5 years) and significantly higher readmission rates within 30 and 90 days post-surgery.
- No notable differences in complications or inpatient mortality were observed between both groups at the 30 and 90-day marks, highlighting a specific risk for readmissions in bariatric surgery patients.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Few studies have evaluated the effect of prior bariatric surgery on outcomes following the operative treatment of hip fractures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate these metrics in a population of bariatric surgery patients compared to a control group who were operatively treated for hip fractures.
Materials And Methods: The California Office of Statewide Health Planning & Development (OSHPD) discharge database was accessed to identify patients who sustained a hip fracture between 2000-2014. CPT codes were utilized to identify patients who had a prior history of bariatric surgery within this time period. A control cohort of patients who had undergone previous appendectomy were queried similarly. The study evaluated complication rates and inpatient mortality at 30- and 90-days postoperatively as well as 30- and 90-day readmission rates.
Results: There were 1,327 bariatric and 2,127 control patients identified. Survival rates were significantly lower in bariatric patients compared to controls (87.2% vs. 91.8%, p = 0.048) at 5 years. After controlling for confounders, bariatric patients had higher 30- (OR 1.46, p = 0.005) and 90-day (OR 1.38, p = 0.011) readmission rates. There were no differences in all-cause complication and inpatient mortality rates between groups at 30 or 90 days.
Discussion: Bariatric surgery patients are at increased risk of readmission after hip fracture surgery. Further research is warranted to delineate potential risk factors and mitigate readmission in these patients.

Innovative technique of corking the lumen of an intraoperatively decompressed turgid gall bladder with surgical gauze to prevent gall bladder stone/bile spillage during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Technical difficulties are often encountered in a laparoscopic cholecystectomy where a tense/distended/ turgid gall bladder prevents the surgeon from grasping the gall bladder properly which therefore necessitates the decompression of the turgid gall bladder. However, even if intraoperative decompression is done, the spillage of remnant stones, bile or fluid from the gall bladder is a possibility which can lead to undue complications. This is where following the simple technique of using a gauze piece with a radio-opaque marker to occlude the decompression puncture site helps in performing a safe decompression thereby preventing bile, fluid or stone spillage.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) describes liver diseases caused by the accumulation of triglycerides in hepatocytes (steatosis) as well as the resulting inflammation and fibrosis. Previous studies have demonstrated that accumulation of fat in visceral adipose tissue compartments and the liver is associated with alterations in the circulating levels of some amino acids, notably glutamate. This study aimed to investigate the associations between circulating amino acids, particularly glutamate, and MASLD.

Background: Obesity is a significant barrier to kidney transplantation for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We aimed to evaluate the long-term impact of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) on kidney transplantation access and outcomes in individuals with obesity and ESRD patients.
Study Design: A retrospective cohort study using data from 64 US healthcare organizations included 132,989 individuals with obesity (BMI ≥30kg/m²) and ESRD requiring dialysis, of whom 6,263 (4.
