Background: Recent examination of trends in postoperative major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACE) following bariatric surgery, including accredited and nonaccredited centers, and the factors affecting those trends, is lacking.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate current trends for postoperative MACE after bariatric surgery in both accredited and nonaccredited centers and the factors affecting these trends.

Setting: This retrospective study was conducted using National Inpatient Sample database from 2012 to 2019.

Methods: All patients who underwent inpatient laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), open sleeve gastrectomy (SG), laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB), and open Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) were examined. Composite MACE (acute myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, acute stroke, and in-hospital death during bariatric surgery hospitalization) was calculated and analyzed over time along with patient demographic and co-morbid diseases using survey-weighted logistic regression.

Results: MACE incidence was lowest for LSG (0.07%), followed by LRYGB (0.16%), SG (3.47%), and RYBG (3.51%). Open procedure, increasing age, male sex, body mass index ≥50, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, and chronic kidney disease were independent predictors for increased MACE risk. MACE incidence increased over time for SG (odds ratio [OR] 1.25 [1.16, 1.34]; P < .0001) and RYGB (OR 1.14 [1.06, 1.22]; P = .0004) but decreased for LRYGB (OR 0.93 [0.87, 1] P = .06). After adjustment for high-risk covariates, increased MACE trend seen over time was attenuated in SG (OR 1.13 [1.04-1.22]; P = .005) and RYGB (OR 1.04 [0.96-1.12]; P = .36), while there was minimal effect of these high-risk covariates on MACE trend over time in LSG and LRYGB.

Conclusions: MACE following LSG and LRYGB is rare, occurring in 0.1% of patients. Persistently increasing high-risk conditions and demographics has had minimal effect on MACE over time for LSG and LRYGB but has had significant effect on MACE trend over time in SG and RYGB.

Background: Metabolic-bariatric surgery (MBS) transcends weight loss and offers wide-ranging health benefits, including positive effects on brain function. However, the mechanisms behind these effects remain unclear, particularly in the context of significant postoperative changes in the inflammatory profile characteristic of MBS. Understanding how inflammation influences postoperative brain function can enhance our decision-making on patient eligibility for MBS and create new opportunities to improve the outcomes of this popular treatment.

Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass may present long-term complications that require revisional surgery or even reversal to normal anatomy. Data on the indications, surgical technique, and outcomes of RYGB reversal remain scarce.

Methods: We identified 48 cases of RYGB reversals with complete 90-day follow-up within a multi-centric international retrospective database of elective secondary bariatric surgery.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) commonly co-occurs with obesity, medical comorbidities, and psychiatric symptoms. Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment for co-occurring obesity and PCOS. While the incidence of PCOS declines substantially after bariatric surgery, the condition is still present for a subset of women.
