Robotic approaches have been steadily replacing laparoscopic approaches in metabolic and bariatric surgeries (MBS); however, their superiority has not been rigorously evaluated. The main goal of the study was to evaluate the 5-year utilization trends of robotic MBS and to compare to laparoscopic outcomes.
Methods
Retrospective analysis of 2015–2019 MBSAQIP data. Kruskal-Wallis test/Wilcoxon and Fisher’s exact/chi-square were used to compare continuous and categorical variables, respectively. Generalized linear models were used to compare surgery outcomes.
Results
The use of robotic MBS increased from 6.2% in 2015 to 13.5% in 2019 (N= 775,258). Robotic MBS patients had significantly higher age, BMI, and likelihood of 12 diseases compared to laparoscopic patients. After adjustment, robotic MBS patients showed higher 30-day interventions and 30-day readmissions alongside longer surgery time (26–38 min).
Conclusion
Robotic MBS shows higher intervention and readmission even after controlling for cofounding variables.
Highly active antiretroviral therapy has greatly reduced mortality among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients by delaying, and possibly preventing, progression to AIDS. The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is now an important consideration in these patients and may increase as they live longer. Risk factors for CVD, the inflammatory effects of HIV, and the metabolic complications of antiretroviral therapy may accelerate the onset of CVD. Death from myocardial infarction, however, is still rare compared with death from progression of HIV disease, and the benefits of antiretroviral therapy clearly outweigh any associated risk of CVD. In this review, the authors describe the risk of accelerated CVD in HIV-infected individuals, the proposed viral and therapy-related mechanisms of CVD, the clinical features of CVD in these patients, and monitoring and management guidelines to reduce CVD risk. Identifying, monitoring, and treating CVD risk factors in HIV-positive patients is vital to improving their lives and should become standard practice. 相似文献
AIM: To generate prevalence estimates of weight status and cardiometabolic disease risk factors among adolescents with and without disabilities.METHODS: Analysis of the 1999-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data was conducted among 12-18 years old with(n = 256) and without disabilities(n = 5020). Mean values of waist circumference, fasting glucose, high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and metabolic syndrome(Met S, ≥ 3 risk factors present) were examined by the following standardized body mass index(BMI) categories for those with and without disabilities; overweight(BMI ≥ 85th- 95 th percentile for age and sex), obesity(BMI ≥ 95 th percentile) and severe obesity(BMI ≥35 kg/m2). Linear regression models were fit with each cardiometabolic disease risk factor independently as continuous outcomes to show relationships with disability status. RESULTS: Adolescents with disabilities were significantlymore likely to be overweight(49.3%), obese(27.6%) and severely obese(12%) vs their peers without disabilities(33.1%, 17.5% and 3.6%, respectively, P ≤ 0.01 for all). A higher proportion of overweight, obese and severely obese children with disabilities had abnormal SBP, fasting lipids and glucose as well as Met S(18.9% of overweight, 32.3% of obese, 55% of severely obese) vs their peers without disabilities(9.7%, 16.8%, 36.3%, respectively). US adolescents with disabilities are over three times as likely to have Met S(OR = 3.45, 95%CI: 1.08-10.99, P = 0.03) vs their peers with no disabilities.CONCLUSION: Results show that adolescents with disabilities are disproportionately affected by obesity and poor cardiometabolic health vs their peers with no disabilities. Health care professionals should monitor the cardiometabolic health of adolescents with disabilities. 相似文献
BackgroundBariatric surgery is 1 of the few effective treatments of morbid obesity. However, the weight loss and other health-related outcomes for this procedure in large, diverse adolescent patient populations have not been well characterized. Our objective was to analyze the prospective Bariatric Outcomes Longitudinal Database (BOLD) to determine the weight loss and health related outcomes in adolescents. The BOLD data are collected from 423 surgeons at 360 facilities in the United States.MethodsThe main outcome measures included the anthropometric and co-morbidity status at baseline (n = 890) and at 3 (n = 786), 6 (n = 541), and 12 (n = 259) months after surgery. Adolescents (75% female; 68% non-Hispanic white, 14% Hispanic, 11% non-Hispanic black, and 6% other) aged 11 to 19 years were included in the present analyses.ResultsThe overall 1-year mean weight loss for those who underwent gastric bypass surgery was more than twice that of those who underwent adjustable gastric band surgery (48.6 versus 20 kg, P < .001). Similar results were found for all other anthropometric changes and comparisons within 1 year between surgery types (P < .001). In general, the gastric bypass patients reported more improvement than the adjustable gastric band patients in co-morbidities at 1 year after surgery. A total of 45 readmissions occurred among gastric bypass patients and 10 among adjustable gastric band patients, with 29 and 8 reoperations required, respectively.ConclusionsThe weight loss at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery is approximately double in adolescent males and females who underwent gastric bypass surgery versus those who underwent adjustable gastric band surgery. Bariatric surgery can safely and substantially reduce weight and related co-morbidities in morbidly obese adolescents for ≥1 year. 相似文献
To better define the clinical and biological evolution of infants after vertical human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection, we analyzed 94 consecutive infected patients followed up after their first clinical symptoms. The expression of clinical symptoms and biological abnormalities followed a bimodal distribution, some patients having an early and severe disease and the others having a slowly progressive one. One third of our patients suffered from early onset of opportunistic infection (OI). These patients had a significantly higher incidence of severe encephalopathy compared with patients without OI. The rate of survival at 3 years was 48% +/- 24%. In contrast, the patients without early OI or severe encephalopathy had a probability of survival at 3 years of 97% +/- 3%. This probability was not modified by the occurrence of bacterial infection or lymphoid interstitial pneumonitis. Lymphoid interstitial pneumonitis occurred at a mean age of 29 months, significantly later than OI or severe encephalopathy. Laboratory results at initial examination were correlated with clinical symptoms. Thus, when the number of CD4 lymphocytes was less than 500/mm3, children suffered more frequently from life-threatening symptoms (OI and severe encephalopathy): 15 of 22 vs 14 of 69. The same was true when the lymphocytes did not proliferate after antigenic stimulation, when anti-p18 and/or anti-p25 antibodies were absent in the serum, and when p24 antigen was detected in serum. Finally, severe encephalopathy was associated with low anti-human immunodeficiency virus cerebrospinal fluid antibody titer, whereas 88% of patients with moderate or no encephalopathy had signs of intrathecal anti-human immunodeficiency virus antibody synthesis. In conclusion, a subgroup of patients expressed very early signs of severe immunodeficiency and encephalopathy, whereas the majority of patients had a longer survival and less severe clinical symptoms during their first years of life than previously thought. 相似文献
This study compared rural and urban crack-using women and examined their responses to two interventions. A prospective cohort study design was employed to assess the effectiveness of standard and innovative HIV prevention interventions on 541 urban and 268 rural women in Florida. Generalized estimating equation analysis, accounting for repeated measures, found that for combined urban and rural samples, the innovative intervention was more effective than the standard for a number of drug and sexual risk behaviors. However, the analysis indicated no significant differences in intervention efficacy between rural and urban women. The results imply that there is a need for similar HIV prevention services in both areas. 相似文献
AIMS: To describe trends of responses to the Cut-down, Annoyed, Guilt, Eye-opener (CAGE) questionnaire during a period of declining alcohol consumption, in a country with no temperance history. DESIGN: Two random-sample surveys, conducted in 1991 and 2005, respectively. SETTING: The adult population of Ile-de-France. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 1183 subjects in 1991 and 5382 subjects in 2005. MEASUREMENTS: Responses to CAGE questions, obtained by face-to-face interviews in 1991 and by telephone in 2005. RESULTS: were standardized on the 2005 population structure. FINDINGS: The proportion of subjects giving at least two positive answers has increased by 4.2 times; the biggest increase was observed for the Guilt question (4.8 times) and the smallest for the Eye-opener question (2.6 times). Several increases were higher for women than for men: 12.9 times versus 3.3 times for two or more positive answers, 9.8 times versus 3.8 times for the Guilt question. Increases did not vary consistently by age. CONCLUSION: These paradoxical trends do not support the use of CAGE in general population surveys. They confirm previous reports suggesting that CAGE was sensitive to community temperance level. They might reflect the emergence of a temperance movement in France, with stronger impact among women. This movement might be responsible for the fall in alcohol consumption. 相似文献
Background Little is knows about the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MS) among overweight first or second generation United States
immigrant children/adolescents from Central/South America and the Caribbean basin. Methods Analysis of anthropometric and laboratory data (N = 224) in overweight children ages 3–18 (64% Hispanic, 25% AfroCaribbean/black, 8% white, 3% multiracial) was conducted.
The main outcome measure was the prevalence of individual parameters of MS and the MS (defined as ≥3 abnormal components).
Results The prevalence of the MS was 29% for the overall sample; an additional 28% had two MS components. Boys were significantly
more likely than girls to have abnormal systolic blood pressure (P < 0.05). Hispanics were significantly more likely than blacks to have abnormal triglyceride and HDL cholesterol (P < 0.01 for both comparisons). Conclusions Our results indicate that both sub-groups of, and major ethnic groups (Mexican- and African American) are at equal risk for
cardiometabolic disease. Early identification of MS in recent immigrant children may improve their future cardiometabolic
health. 相似文献
This study analyzes the correlation of basic laboratory test results with clinical outcome in 94 children with perinatally acquired human immunodeficiency virus 1 infection who did not receive zidovudine during the study period of 1983 to 1988. Two life-threatening conditions highly correlated with survival, opportunistic infection and severe encephalopathy, were the end points of the study. At a median age of 25 months 30 (32%) of the 94 children had developed such conditions (Group I), and their survival at 3 years of age was 48% (95% confidence interval, 24 to 72%), contrasting with the 97% survival rate (95% confidence interval, 94 to 100%) of the remaining 64 (68%) children who had not developed such conditions by age 25 months. (Group II). Compared with children in Group II, children with life-threatening complications were more likely at the onset of symptoms to be younger and have a lower CD4 count, an impaired in vitro lymphocytic proliferation and a lack of p18 or p25 antibodies in the Western blot profile and, during the progression of the disease, a negative slope of the subsequent CD4 counts. These results highlight the need for an early diagnosis of the human immunodeficiency virus 1 infection in children and demonstrate that it is possible to determine the prognosis of their disease as early as in the first year of life. 相似文献
