Evaluating the safety of bariatric surgery as a bridge to kidney transplant: a retrospective cohort study. | LitMetric

Background: Bariatric surgery has been proven safe in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD); however, few studies have evaluated whether a history of bariatric surgery impacts transplant-specific outcomes. We hypothesize that a history of bariatric surgery at the time of transplant does not adversely impact transplant-specific outcomes.

Methods: The IBM MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters database was queried for patients with a history of kidney transplant between 2000 and 2021. Patients were stratified into three groups based on bariatric surgery status and body mass index (BMI) at the time of transplant: patients with obesity (O), patients without obesity (NO), and patients with a history of bariatric surgery (BS). Inverse probability of treatment weighting was used to control for confounding. Adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) describing the risk of transplant-specific and postoperative outcomes were estimated using weighted Kaplan-Meier curves. Primary outcomes included 30-day and 1-year risk of transplant-specific outcomes. Secondary outcomes included 30-day and 1-year postoperative complications and 30-day and 1-year risk of wound-related complications.

Results: We identified 14,806 patients; 128 in the BS group, 1572 in the O group, and 13,106 in the NO group. There was no difference in 30-day or 1-year risk of transplant-specific complications between the BS and NO group or the O and NO group. Patients with obesity (O) were more likely to experience wound infection (aHR 1.49, 95% CI 1.12-1.99), wound dehiscence (aHR 2.2, 95% CI 1.5-3.2), and minor reoperation (aHR 1.52, 95% CI 1.23-1.89) at 1 year. BS patients had increased risk of wound infection at 1 year (aHR 2.79, 95% CI 1.26-6.16), but were without increase in risk of minor or major reoperation.

Conclusion: A history of bariatric surgery does not adversely affect transplant-specific outcomes after kidney transplant. Bariatric surgery can be safely utilized to improve the transplant candidacy of patients with obesity with CKD and ESKD.
