Bariatric surgery, hypercoagulable state and venous thromboembolism disease : from monocentric study to nationwide cohort study

Introduction: L’obésité est un facteur connu d’hypercoagulabilité in vitro et in vivo. Cependant peu d’études se sont intéressées aux facteurs de risque d’hypercoagulabilité biologique chez le patient obèse morbide, à sa variation après chirurgie bariatrique (CB) ainsi qu’aux facteurs de risques de maladie thromboembolique veineuse (MTEV) postopératoire après CB. Matériel et Méthodes: Tous les patients destinés à une CB entre le 1er Septembre 2014 et le 31 Janvier 2016 au CHU de Brest étaient éligibles pour notre étude de cohorte locale et ont bénéficié d’un large bilan sanguin préopératoire et à 12 mois postopératoires, incluant des tests de génération de thrombine (GT) avec mesure du potentiel endogène de thrombine (ETP), une méthode validée globale d’évaluation de la coagulation. En parallèle, nous avons extrait de la base du SNIIRAM de l’assurance maladie, tous les patients opérés d’une CB entre le 1er Janvier 2012 et le 30 Septembre 2014 et déterminer la fréquence d’une MTEV dans les 90 jours suivants la CB. Résultats: Cent-deux patients étaient inclus dans notre étude de cohorte brestoise. Les facteurs de risque (OR (95% IC)) de présenter un ETP dans le 4ème quartile de distribution étaient : taux de cholestérol total augmenté (Pas=1mmol/l) (2,6 (1,2-5,4);P =0,01) et taux de fibrinogène augmenté (Pas=1 g/l) (2,2; (1,1-4,5);P = 0,03). A un an post-opératoire (%perte de poids: 33.1±8.3), on retrouvait une baisse significative de l’ETP (%) (111 (96-129) vs. 84 (72-102) ; P<0.001), du taux de fibrinogène (g/l) (4,2±0,8 vs. 3,6±0,8 ; P<0.001) et une baisse non significative du taux de cholestérol total (mmol/l) (4,8±0,8 vs. 4,6±1,0; P=0,08). Apres extraction à partir du SNIIRAM, 110.824 patients étaient inclus. Le taux de MTEV dans les 90 jours était de 0,51%. Les principaux facteurs de risque de MTEV retrouvés en analyse multivariée étaient (P<0.001): un antécédent de MTEV (6,41 (4,50-9,14)), des complications post-opératoires (9,23 (7,30-11,68)), une défaillance cardiaque (2,45 (1,48-4,06), une chirurgie par laparotomie (2,38 (1,59-3,45)), un IMC ≥ 50 kg/m² (1,67 (1,28-2,18)), une sleeve gastrectomy (2,02 (1,39-2,93)) et une procédure de deuxième intention (1,37 (1,10-1,72)). Conclusion : Sur une étude de cohorte de plus de 110.000 patients, nous identifions un taux faible de MTEV dans les 90 jours post-opératoires après CB dépendant de facteurs de risque individuels et liés à la chirurgie. De surcroit nous identifions une baisse de la GT à 1 an post-opératoire en parallèle à une perte de poids massive et à une diminution de l’état inflammatoire.Introduction: Obese patients are known to be in an in vitro and in an in vivo hypercoagulable state relative to normal-weight patients. Studies focusing exclusively on morbidly obese patients are lacking. Our study aimed to identify markers of enhanced coagulability, to compare its evolution one year after bariatric surgery (BS) and to determine risk factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) within 90 postoperative days. Methods: All patients scheduled for bariatric surgery (BS) between September 1, 2014 and January 31, 2016 in Brest University Hospital were eligible for our prospective local study. In vitro coagulation was assessed using thrombin generation (TG) tests (Endogenous thrombin potential (ETP)). Data on all patients undergoing BS in France from 1st January 2012 to 30 September 2014 were also extracted from the database of the French national health care (SNIIRAM) to determine the rate of VTE in the 90 days after surgery. Results: One hundred and two patients were included in our study assessing TG. Risk factors for enhanced TG (ETP in the 4th quartile) were increased total cholesterol level (Step=1mmol/l) (2.6 (1.2-5.4); P =0.01) and increased fibrinogen level (Step=1g/l) (2.2 (1.1-4.5); P=0.03). At 12 postoperative months, we found a significant lower ETP (%) (111 (96-129) vs. 84 (72-102 P<0.001)), fibrinogen level (g/l) (4.2±0.8 vs. 3.6±0.8; P<0.001)) and a non-significant trend for lower total cholesterol level (mmol/l) (4.8±0.8 vs. 4.6±1.0; P=0.08). After extraction of the SNIIRAM database, 110,824 patients were included with a rate of VTE of 0.51% (90 post-operative days). Main risk factors for postoperative VTE were (p<0.001): history of VTE (6.41 (4.50-9.14)), postoperative complications (9.23 (7.30-11.68)), heart failure (2.45 (1.48-4.06), open approach (2.38 (1.59-3.45)), BMI ≥ 50 kg/m² (1.67 (1.28-2.18)), sleeve gastrectomy (2.02 (1.39-2.93)) and redo procedure (1.37 (1.10-1.72)). Conclusions: Our study highlights the role of total cholesterol and blood inflammatory marker levels in enhancing TG in morbidly obese patients and shows a decrease of TG at 12 months after BS. The risk of postoperative VTE after BS is low depending on the individual risk level

Primary Closure Versus Biliary Drainage After Laparoscopic Choledocotomy: Results of a Comparative Study.

International audienceTo evaluate the feasibility, safety, and short-term outcomes of primary closure (PC) and biliary drainage (BD), after the laparoscopic treatment of common bile duct (CBD) stones by choledocotomy.Between January 2009 and December 2014, 102 patients underwent laparoscopy for lithiasis of the CBD. Intraoperative cholangiography was systematically performed, followed by choledocoscopy, depending on the size of the CBD.Eighty (78.4%) of the 102 patients underwent laparoscopic stone extraction by choledocotomy, and were assigned to 2 groups: PC (group A, n=25), and BD (group B, n=55). Groups A and B were comparable in terms of age (62.3±26.1 vs. 66.0±19.3 y; P=0.53), the percentage of women (72.0% vs. 76.4%; P=0.68), body mass index (25.9±6.1 vs. 26.9±4.4 kg/m; P=0.52), and CBD diameter (11.6±3.1 vs. 12.1±3.8 mm; P=0.59). The mean durations of surgery and of hospital stay were significantly shorter in group A: 179±38 versus 211±57 minutes (P=0.02) and 5.4±2.0 versus 8.4±3.2 days (P<0.001). Groups A and B were comparable in terms of serious postoperative morbidity (Clavien-Dindo scores of 3, 4, and 5): 2 versus 4 (P=1). In group B, bile drain removal was complicated by choleperitoneum in 3 cases.With shorter durations of surgery and hospital stay, equivalent postoperative morbi-mortality, and an absence of the specific morbidity due to bile drainage, PC may be considered a safe and feasible option for the laparoscopic management of CBD stones by choledocotomy

Spin occurs in bariatric surgery randomized controlled trials with a statistically nonsignificant primary outcome: A systematic review

Objectives: To systematically identify the strategy and frequency of spin in reports of bariatric surgery randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with statistically nonsignificant primary endpoint. Study design and Setting: The use of specific reporting strategies to highlight the beneficial effect of an experimental treatment can affect the reader interpretation of trial results, particularly when the primary endpoint is not statistically significant. A literature search was performed to identify RCTs publications assessing the impact of bariatric surgery on obesity-related comorbidities published over the past 10 years (from January 2020 till December 2020) in MEDLINE and EMBASE. RCTs publications with statistically non-significant primary outcomes were included. Results: Of 46 576 reports screened for title and abstract inclusion, 29 RCT reports met the inclusion criteria for spin analysis. In total, 16 abstracts (55%) and 18 main texts (62%) were classified as having a spin. In abstract results and conclusion sections, the spin was identified in 69% of reports. In main text results, discussion, and conclusion sections, the spin was recognized in 37%, 72%, and 76% of reports respectively. The spin consisted mainly of focusing on within-group improvements and the interpretation of statistically nonsignificant results as showing treatment equivalence. Conclusion: Spin occurred in a high proportion of bariatric surgery RCTs with a statistically nonsignificant primary endpoint
