Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after surgery increases long-term risk of kidney dysfunction. The major risk factor for AKI after bariatric surgery is having preoperative renal insufficiency. Little is known about the outcomes and risk factors for developing AKI in patients undergoing bariatric surgery with normal renal function.

Objective: We aimed to describe factors that may increase risk of AKI after primary bariatric surgery in patients without history of kidney disease.

Setting: Academic hospital, United States.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program data registry for patients aged ≥18 years undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) from 2015 to 2019. Patients with diagnosis of chronic kidney disease were excluded. The primary outcome was incidence of AKI. Secondary outcomes included 30-day complications, readmissions, reoperations, and mortality. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify differences between patients with and without AKI.

Results: A total of 747,926 patients were included in our analysis (laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy = 73.1%, LRYGB = 26.8%). Mean age was 44.40 ± 11.94 years, with female predominance (79.7%). AKI occurred in 446 patients (.05%). Patients with postoperative AKI had higher rates of complications, readmissions, reoperations, and mortality. Significant predictors of AKI were male sex, history of venous thromboembolism, hypertension, limitation for ambulation, and LRYGB. High albumin levels and White race were protective factors.

Conclusions: New-onset AKI was associated with adverse 30-day outcomes in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Male sex, venous thromboembolism, hypertension, limited ambulation, and LRYGB were independent predictors of AKI. Prospective studies are needed to better describe these results.

Aims: To date, bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective long-term treatment for obesity, but weight regain (WR) is common. The very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD) is effective for weight loss and may influence gut microbiota (GM) composition, but it has been scarcely evaluated in post-bariatric patients. This study compared the efficacy and safety of a VLCKD in patients with WR post-bariatric surgery (BS+) and in bariatric surgery-naïve patients (BS-).

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most diagnosed digestive disorders, with much-conducted research assessing its prevalence and risk factors associated with it worldwide. However, there are no published previous studies to determine such disease and its burden in Bahrain. Hence, this study aims to estimate the prevalence and evaluate the risk factors associated with GERD among adults attending primary care in Bahrain.

We report a case of a 49-year-old female with a history of HIV infection for 12 years. The patient had excellent compliance with antiretroviral medications, raltegravir 400 mg twice daily and truvada once daily for HIV. Over the years, she maintained an undetectable viral load with a CD4+ count >200 cells/μL.

Background: Lung ultrasound-guided alveolar recruitment manoeuvres (RMs) may reduce the lung ultrasound score. However, whether the use of this strategy can reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in the adult obese population has not yet been tested.

Methods/design: This is a single-centre, two-arm, prospective, randomised controlled trial.

Background: Irrespective of baseline diabetes status, preoperative hemoglobin A1c (A1C) influences perioperative care in patients undergoing metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). Accordingly, the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) endorses that patients undergoing MBS should receive a preoperative A1C test. We aimed to assess the proportion of MBS patients who received a preoperative A1C test and determine whether baseline diabetes status influences receipt of a test.
