Highlights
- •The preoperative disease is seen more in Laparoscopic Roux-en Y white males.
- •Most comorbidities persist at 12 months, in patterns similar to preoperative period.
- •Only 3 comorbidities vary at 24 months.
Abstract
Background
Whether/how LRYGB men vary by race in clinical characteristics/post-operative outcomes
is unknown.
Objective
Identify male pre-/post LRYGB clinical/outcomes variations by race.
Methods
Data from 17,734 LYRGB BOLD database men were analyzed in five groups: African American
(AA, n = 1310), Caucasian (C, n = 14,168), Asian (A, n = 53), Hispanic (H, n = 1519),
and Other (O, Pacific Islander, Native American, or more than one race, n = 684).
Data: demographics, BMI, and 28 weight-related conditions.
Results
Pre-LRYGB age, health insurance, unemployment, BMI, and 24/28 obesity related comorbidities
varied by race (p < 0.01). Highest pre-LRYGB: AA 4, C 14, A 5, H none, O 1 comorbidity.
12 month BMI and 14 comorbidities varied by race (p < 0.05). 24 months only dyslipidemia,
depression, and psychological impairment varied by race (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
Demographics, BMI and 24 obesity comorbidities vary by race in LRYGB men, but only
3 at 24 months. Caucasians have the greatest cardiopulmonary related comorbidities.
This advanced knowledge may facilitate peri-operative management.
