Impact of bariatric surgery on outcomes of patients with celiac disease: A nationwide inpatient sample analysis, 2004-2014
Annals of Gastroenterology Feb 08, 2019
Sharma P, et al. - This is the first-ever study to utilize an inpatient database. Among hospitalized patients with celiac disease, researchers assessed the impact of bariatric surgery on clinical outcomes using the United States Nationwide Inpatient Sample database. Of the 1499 patients with a discharge diagnosis of celiac disease and morbid obesity, 126 patients had bariatric surgery. According to the findings, bariatric surgery is safe and seems to significantly decrease morbidity in spite of the underutilization of bariatric surgery in patients with morbidly obese celiac disease. Data reported that bariatric surgery raised the risk of vitamin D deficiency and post-operative strictures.
