About this study

Official title: Clinical and Economic Evaluation of Outpatient Bariatric Surgery

This study first presents the organizational path and the health interventions included in the care episode for outpatient bariatric surgery, as compared to the health interventions usually performed in the care episode for bariatric surgery (including a conventional hospitalization with at least one-night inpatient). Then, the study aims to estimate and to compare the costs of bariatric surgery inpatient care episode to the costs of outpatient care episode, and also to evaluate the postoperative medical consequences.

Read the detailed description

This study first presents the organizational path and the health interventions included in the care episode for outpatient bariatric surgery, as compared to the health interventions usually performed in the care episode for bariatric surgery (including a conventional hospitalization with at least one-night inpatient).

This single-center, matched case-control study will be conducted in the Endocrine and Digestive Surgery Unit, Center of Excellence in Bariatric Surgery, of the University Hospital of Strasbourg. All the patients scheduled for bariatric procedures (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy) and eligible for outpatient ambulatory procedures, will be checked for the inclusion criteria and will be asked if they accepted the outpatient bariatric procedure. If they accept, they will be included in the group A ("Outpatients"). At the end of the inclusion period, the patients in group A will be paired to patients who were operated in the same period, who had a conventional hospitalization and who will be matched based on the type of intervention, the age and the ASA status. These patients will form the group B ("Inpatients").

The integrated care pathway of the outpatients was formalized in order to secure this care pathway. It includes: patient education, enhanced rehabilitation program, first-position surgical planning, follow-up by home nurse twice-a-day, standardized communication to surgeons, and management of possible complications. All the health care interventions (anticipated or not) will be recorded for both groups.

The study aims to estimate and to compare the costs of bariatric surgery inpatient care episode to the costs of outpatient care episode, and also to evaluate the postoperative medical consequences. A cost-minimization analysis will be performed from the perspective of the healthcare provider. The direct costs of care production will be considered and estimated by a micro-costing methodology. The time horizon is set from the pre-operative outpatient appointment with the bariatric surgeon to the one-month post-operative appointment.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Outpatient health care pathwayOther

    A surgical procedure performed as an outpatient procedure means that the patient leaves the hospital before 8pm the same day. The surgery is identical but the standard care pathway is reinforced to insure a safe return to home.

Study groups in NCT04423575
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
OutpatientsExperimentalHealth care pathway: patient education, communication to liberal nurses, first-position surgical planning, bariatric surgery (bypass or sleeve) as outpatient procedure, follow-up by home nurse twice-a-day, standardized communication to surgeons, management of possible complications

InpatientsNo interventionStandard care pathway with bariatric surgery (bypass or sleeve) as inpatient procedure (at least one night in the hospital)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean cost evaluation of health care pathway

    Mean costs related to the described health care pathway (outpatients vs inpatients) will be assessed by micro-costing methodology

    Measured: from the pre-operative appointment with the bariatric surgeon to the one-month post-operative appointment

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Mean hospital length of stay

    Mean hospital length of stay including readmission duration

    Measured: from surgery to one month postoperatively

  2. Quality of life evaluation: EQ-5D (EuroQoL-5 Dimensions) scale

    The EQ-5D Quality of Life scale consists of :

    (i) a descriptive system, consists in 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 levels: no problems, some problems, extreme problems.

    (ii) a visual analog scale, records the respondent's self-rated health on a vertical, visual analogue scale where the endpoints are labelled 'Best imaginable health state" and "Worst imaginable health state".

    Measured: at day 0, day 7 and day 30 postoperatively

  3. Complication rate

    rate of postoperative complications

    Measured: from surgery to one month postoperatively

  4. Ambulatory failure rate

    rate of patients in Arm 1 who spent at least the first night in the hospital

    Measured: from surgery to one month postoperatively

  5. Readmission rate

    rate of patients in Arm 1 who were readmitted in the hospital, after being successful dismissed at day 0

    Measured: from surgery to one month postoperatively

  6. Costs related to Complication

    costs related to the postoperative complications will be assessed by micro-costing methodology

    Measured: from surgery to one month postoperatively

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean cost evaluation of health care pathway (time frame: from the pre-operative appointment with the bariatric surgeon to the one-month post-operative appointment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04423575, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
