Are There Gender-Specific Aspects in Obesity and Metabolic Surgery? Data Analysis from the German Bariatric Surgery Registry
Abstract
Background: Since January 2005, the status of bariatric surgery in Germany has been examined in conjunction with a quality assurance study of the German Bariatric Surgery Registry (GBSR). All data are registered prospectively in cooperation with the Institute for Quality Assurance in Surgical Medicine at the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany.
Methods: Data are registered in an online database. Data collection on obesity and metabolic surgery is voluntary, and was started in 2005. In addition, follow-up data are collected once a year.
Results: Since 2005, 8,293 sleeve gastrectomies, 10,330 Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedures, and 3,741 gastric banding procedures have been performed in Germany, according to the data of the GBSR. Mean age and mean body mass index of female patients with gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy, or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass were significantly lower than those of male patients. The incidence of relevant comorbidities was significantly higher in male than in female patients.
Conclusion: Metabolic and obesity surgery is becoming more and more popular in Germany. Data from the GBSR study show significant differences in preoperative comorbidities and postoperative complication and mortality rates between male and female patients. There is a need for further evaluation of gender-specific aspects to optimize patient selection and reduce specific postoperative complications.
Hintergrund: Die aktuelle Situation der Adipositaschirurgie und metabolischen Chirurgie wird seit Januar 2005 mithilfe der Qualitätssicherungsstudie für operative Therapie der Adipositas (German Bariatric Surgery Registry (GBSR)) untersucht. Die Daten werden prospektiv in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Institut für Qualitätssicherung in der operativen Medizin der Otto-von-Guericke Universität in Magdeburg, Deutschland, erfasst und analysiert.
Methoden: Die Datenerhebung erfolgt mithilfe einer Online-Datenbank. Auf freiwilliger Grundlage werden alle adipositas- und metabolisch chirurgischen Eingriffe seit 2005 registriert. Zusätzlich zu den Operationsdaten werden die Befunde der jährlichen Nachsorgeuntersuchungen erhoben.
Ergebnisse: Seit 2005 wurden den Daten des GBSR zufolge 8293 Sleeve-Gastrektomien, 10 330 Roux-en-Y-Magenbypässe und 3741 Magenband-Operationen durchgeführt. Das mittlere Alter und der mittlere Body-Mass-Index der weiblichen Patientinnen mit Magenband, Sleeve-Gastrektomie und Roux-en-Y-Magenbypass waren signifikant geringer als die der männlichen Patienten. Männer zeigten ebenso eine höhere Inzidenz an Komorbiditäten als Frauen.
Schlussfolgerung: Die Zahl der adipositas- und metabolisch chirurgischen Eingriffe steigt in Deutschland stetig an. Die Ergebnisse der Studie des GBSR zeigen signifikante Unterschiede in der genderspezifischen Inzidenz der präoperativen Komorbiditäten, der postoperativen Komplikationen und der Mortalität. Weitere Analysen zu genderspezifischen Aspekten sind erforderlich, um die Patientenselektion in der Adipositaschirurgie zu optimieren und die postoperative Komplikationsrate zu reduzieren.
