Race, Insurance, and Socioeconomic Influences on Outcomes Following Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass.
American Surgeon 2024 April 23
The effectiveness of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) might be shadowed by disparities in outcomes related to patient race and insurance type. We determine the influence of patient race/ethnicity and insurance types on complications following RYGB. We performed a retrospective analysis using data sourced from the National Inpatient Sample Database (2010 to 2019). A multivariate analysis was employed to determine the relationship between patient race/ethnicity and insurance type on RYGB complications. The analysis determined the interaction between race/ethnicity and insurance type on RYGB outcomes. We analyzed 277714 patients who underwent RYGB. Most of these patients were White (64.5%) and female (77.3%), with a median age of 46 years (IQR 36-55). Medicaid beneficiaries displayed less favorable outcomes than those under private insurance: Extended hospital stay (OR = 1.68; 95% CI 1.58-1.78), GIT Leak (OR = 1.83; 95% CI 1.35-2.47), postoperative wound infection (OR = 1.88; 95% CI 1.38-2.55), and in-hospital mortality (OR = 2.74; 95% CI 1.90-3.95).
