Bariatric Surgery: What is the Evidence that it Works?
• 22,094 patients• Excess weight loss– Bypass: 60-75%– Band: 55-65%
• Operative mortality– Bypass: 0.5%– Band: 0.1%
• Diabetes: Resolved in 77%• Hypertension: Resolved in 62%• Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Resolved in 86%

Bariatric Surgery: What is the Evidence that it Works?
• USA• 1984-2002• 7925 gastric bypass patients vs. 7925 weight
and risk matched controls• Significantly ↓ mortality in bypass patients– Overall mortality ↓ 40%– Coronary disease related mortality ↓ 56%– Diabetes related mortality ↓ 92%– Cancer related mortality ↓ 60%

• 11 years follow-up• Bariatric surgery 2010 patients vs.
Conventional treatment 2037 patients• Weight loss– Bypass: 2 years, 32%; 10 years, 25%– Banding: 2 years, 20%; 10 years, 14%

NIHR HTA
Southampton Health Technology Assessments Centre, University of Southampton, UK.
Health Technology Assessment Program was established in 1993 as part of the National Institute for Health Research.
Research findings of HTA directly influence decision-making bodies such as NICE and DoH.

NIHR HTA of Bariatric Surgery
• Bariatric surgery was cost-effective in comparison to non-surgical treatment in the published estimates.
• Estimates are unlikely to be reliable and not generalizable because of methodological shortcoming and modeling assumptions.

NIHR HTA of Bariatric Surgery
• Development of a new economic model
• Surgical management was more costly than non-surgical management but gave improved outcomes.
• Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios of £2000-£4000 per QALY gained – within the cost-effectiveness range for NHS decision-making.

Conclusion
• Bariatric Surgery is clinically effective and cost-effective as compared to non-surgical interventions.
• Uncertainties:– QOL– Impact of surgeon experience– Late complications leading to re-operation– Duration of co-morbidity remission– Potential benefits of early intervention
