A study aimed to assess mortality rates after bariatric surgery in the UK (1).

  • analysis:
    • total of 41 241 primary bariatric procedures were carried out in the NHS between 2009 and 2016, with 29 in-hospital deaths (0.07 per cent)
    • 30-day mortality rate after discharge was 0.08 per cent (32 of 41 241)
    • both the in-hospital and 30-day mortality rates after discharge demonstrated a downward trend over the study period

Authors concluded that ".. Overall in-hospital and 30-day mortality rates remain very low after primary bariatric surgery. An increased uptake of bariatric surgery within the English NHS has been safe.."
