Impact of Functional Status on 30-day Resource Utilization and Organ System Complications Following Bariatric Surgery

June 23, 2023 updated by: Zhiyi Zuo, MD, University of Virginia

Impact of Functional Status on 30-day Resource Utilization and Organ System Complications Following Index Bariatric Surgery: a Cohort Study

The goal of this observational study is to assess the effect of functional status on bariatric surgical thirty-day outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is functional status associated with higher incidence of 30-day unplanned resource utilization?
  • Is functional status associated with higher incidences of secondary adverse events?

Participants will be sampled from the 2015-2019 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program

Study Overview

Status

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Unplanned resource utilization (composite)
Time Frame: 30 days
A composite binary outcome comprising unplanned readmission, return to the operating room, or prolonged (≥ 30 day) length of stay.
30 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Mortality
Time Frame: 30 days
Mortality
30 days
Composite organ system complications
Time Frame: 30 days
Cardiac complications included cardiac arrest and myocardial infarction. The only neurologic complication that was captured was stroke/cerebrovascular accident. Respiratory complications included reintubation, prolonged ventilatory wean, and pneumonia. Hematologic/infectious complications included superficial surgical site infection (SSI), deep incisional SSI, organ space SSI, wound dehiscence, bleeding, sepsis, septic shock, deep venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. Renal complications included progressive renal insufficiency and acute kidney injury.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
January 1, 2015

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
