Florit PTK, et al. - Through a case-control study using the 2010 to 2014 National Inpatient Sample datasets of 105,435 patients, the researchers intended to determine the use of bariatric surgery (BS, emerged as a cornerstone procedure in order to prevent and treat obesity-related comorbidities) and related healthcare results in Hispanics. Out of total participants, 20,440 individuals (10,945 Hispanics) were randomized into a propensity-matched cohort. In comparison to 36/100,000 persons for non-Hispanics, the prevalence of BS in Hispanics was observed as 21/100,000 persons. No differences were discovered in the surgical approach conducted. Similar mortality, morbidity, hospital length of stay, and costs were noted in Hispanics and non-Hispanics. Hence, the use of BS was lesser in Hispanics, regardless of the higher obesity rates. Further, no difference in clinical outcomes and insignificant differences in resource use were ascertained for those who underwent BS.
