Distressed community index as a predictor of metabolic and bariatric surgery outcomes
Background
Obesity is associated with serious health and social consequences. Socioeconomically disadvantaged people are less likely to undergo metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) than their socioeconomically advantaged counterparts and experience increased complications or health care resource utilization, such as longer length of stay. The Economic Innovation Group's Distressed Communities Index (DCI) offers a metric to broadly assess socioeconomic distress.
Objectives
This study investigated the relationship between community distress, as determined by DCI, and complications following MBS, including length of hospital stay, likelihood of an emergency department (ED) visit, 30-day readmissions, and perioperative/postoperative occurrences.
Setting
Academic Medical Center, United States.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective analysis on a cohort of patients undergoing primary sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y bypass at a large academic hospital from 2016 to 2020 (n = 758). Patients were categorized based on the DCI of their community. We used the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program database to record each patient's postoperative complications. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the association between community distress and complications.
Results
Patients from distressed communities were more likely to have Medicaid and less likely to have private insurance (P < .001). Community distress was significantly correlated with longer hospital stay (P < .001) and a higher likelihood of an ED visit (P < .007). No significant correlation was observed between community distress and 30-day readmissions or perioperative/postoperative occurrences.
Conclusions
DCI is not an independent risk factor for complications after adjusting for other variables but increase resource utilization.
期刊介绍:
Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases (SOARD), The Official Journal of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) and the Brazilian Society for Bariatric Surgery, is an international journal devoted to the publication of peer-reviewed manuscripts of the highest quality with objective data regarding techniques for the treatment of severe obesity. Articles document the effects of surgically induced weight loss on obesity physiological, psychiatric and social co-morbidities.
