Trial summary

The aim of this observational study is to define national reference values, according to the achievable benchmarks of care method (ABC™), for laparoscopic bariatric surgery in Sweden. The primary outcome is to identify the best possible, yet achievable, results during and after bariatric surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Bariatric Surgery Benchmarks - How Much Do We Bench?

The aim of this observational study is to define national reference values, according to the achievable benchmarks of care method (ABC™), for laparoscopic bariatric surgery in Sweden. The primary outcome is to identify the best possible, yet achievable, results during and after bariatric surgery. The second outcome to investigate if there are risk groups for complications, and if so perform risk-adjusted benchmark-calculations.

Read the detailed description

The data source will be the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry (SOReg), a prospective quality registry for obesity surgery. The time frame will be 2012-2021. The techniques to be investigated are laparoscopic roux-en-y gastric bypass and laparoscopic gastric sleeve respectively. Register variables related to surgical quality will be analyzed, and related to risk of peroperative and postoperative complications. The study will analyze data for the time of surgery and up to one year after surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Benchmark values of variables related to surgical quality

    ABC method of variables related to surgical quality (duration of surgery (minutes), complications (percentage), reoperations (percentage), weight loss at one year (percentage) etc)

    Measured: Surgical intervention and up to one year after surgery

  2. Number of participants with severe postoperative complications

    Severe complication is defined as Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ IIIa

    Measured: Within 30 days and one year after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Potential risk groups for complications

    Estimated with multivariable regression analysis looking at BMI (kg/m^2), age categories, gender, waist line category, occurrence of dyspepsia, hypertension, previous thrombo-embolism or diabetes

    Measured: Within 30 days and one year after surgery

  2. Risk-adjusted benchmark values

    ABC method of any identified risk group(s) for complications

    Measured: Within 30 days and one year after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bariatric Surgery, run by Region Östergötland.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 27 Mar 2023. 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?

Benchmark values of variables related to surgical quality (time frame: Surgical intervention and up to one year after surgery). 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 27 Mar 2023.
