| Abstract |
The prevalence of obesity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has increased over the past decades. Data to support the safety of bariatric surgery (BAR) in IBD remain scarce. Our aim was to evaluate the safety and early postoperative complications of BAR in IBD patients. We used the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2011, 2012, and 2013 to perform a cohort study. The study group was all hospitalized patients between ages 18-90 years who underwent BAR with a discharge diagnosis of IBD as per the Ninth International Classification of Diseases codes (ICD-9). Adults who underwent BAR without ICD-9 codes of IBD were identified as the comparison group. Complications were compared using multivariate logistic regression analysis. We identified 314,864 adult patients who underwent BAR between 2011 and 2013. Mean age was 45.5 ± 0.11 years, and 79% were females. Seven hundred and ninety patients had underlying IBD; 459 had Crohn's disease and 331 had ulcerative colitis. The remaining patients formed the comparison group. Mean length of hospital stay (LOS) was longer in the IBD group by 1 day (p = 0.01). The IBD group had a significantly higher risk of perioperative small bowel obstruction (SBO) (adjusted odds ratio, 4.0; 95%, CI; 2.2-7.4). Other technical and systemic complications were similar between the two groups, with no mortality reported in the IBD group. BAR in IBD patients has an acceptable safety profile, with immeditae risk limited to perioperative SBO and an apparently low risk of mortality or other major immediate postoperative complications. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 July 2023.
All research outputs
#6,806,513
of 24,079,942 outputs
Outputs from Obesity Surgery
#978
of 3,560 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#106,451
of 327,878 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Obesity Surgery
#16
of 60 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,079,942 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,560 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,878 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 60 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
