About this study

This retrospective study will analyse the transition of an Australian hospital which significantly increased volume of bariatric operations after introduction of a clinical pathway, and to assess the outcomes. Barriers to introduction of the multidisciplinary pathway and the means to overcome these will also be analysed and discussed. The analysis will also determine if there are any other areas of bariatric surgery which can be further investigated to optimise current practice.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Post-operative length of stay (nights)

    This will be measured in number of nights the participant stayed in hospital after the procedure.

    Measured: The number of nights the participant stay in hospital from the day of procedure to the day of hospital discharge. This time period occurs immediately after the procedure. This data will be retrospectively reviewed on an average of 5 years.

  2. End weight loss

    Post-operative weight loss

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. End weight loss

    Post-operative weight loss

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  2. End weight loss

    Post-operative weight loss

    Measured: Up to 36 months

  3. Intraoperative time

    Duration of operative time measured in minutes

    Measured: The start time of the operation to the end time of the procedure. This data will be retrospectively reviewed on an average of 5 years.

  4. Post-operative complications

    Complications which occurred in the post operative period

    Measured: Up to 36 months

  5. Number of operations performed in time period

    The number of operations which occurred in each group

    Measured: Retrospectively reviewed, 1 yearly

  6. Type of Operation Performed

    The number of the different types of bariatric operations which occurred in each group

    Measured: Retrospectively reviewed, 1 yearly

  7. Number of participants converted from Gastric Sleeve to Gastric Bypass

    Measured: Retrospectively reviewed, 1 yearly

  8. Number of patients on surgical waitlist

    The number of patients on the surgical waitlist for each time period

    Measured: Retrospectively reviewed, 1 yearly

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obesity and Bariatric Surgery Candidate, run by University of Adelaide.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Post-operative length of stay (nights) (time frame: The number of nights the participant stay in hospital from the day of procedure to the day of hospital discharge. This time period occurs immediately after the procedure. This data will be retrospectively reviewed on an average of 5 years.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jun 2020.
