PG - 1874-1882 LID - S1550-7289(21)00336-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.soard.2021.06.023 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Although severe complications (SCs) after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) are rare, they can be devastating for the affected patient. OBJECTIVE: To access the impact of SCs (Clavien-Dindo >/=3b) 2 years after LRYGB by using a nationwide Swedish cohort of 48,201 primary cases between 2007 and June 2016. SETTING: University hospital, Sweden. METHODS: Patients with SC were matched 1:1 on age, sex, diabetic status, body mass index (BMI), and year of operation to patients without an SC. Weight loss, patient-scored quality of life (QoL), antidepressant use, proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and opioids, and in-hospital care were gathered from 3 national registers. RESULTS: A total of 1411 (2.9%) patients suffered an SC and 16 (.03%) died. In total, 1403 patients with SC (mean age, 42 yr; female, 75%; with diabetes, 15.7%; mean BMI, 41.9 kg/m(2)) could be matched. Both groups had a total body weight loss of 32% at 2 years. A lower physical QoL was observed in SCs throughout the study period. Antidepressant, PPI and opioid use was higher among patients with SC, even 2 years after surgery. At this time point, a doubling of oral morphine equivalents (7.3 to 17.0 mg/d) was found in patients with SC compared with prior to surgery. The SC group required more in-hospital care after the initial 30 days (3.8 versus .9 d in the remaining part of the first year). CONCLUSION: An SC resulted in higher antidepressant, PPI and opioid use as well as higher need for in-hospital care during the first 2 postoperative years. Affected patients should therefore receive special attention during follow up. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 American Society for Bariatric Surgery. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
