Join the Behind the Knife Bariatric Surgery Team as they kick off 2025 with a crucial discussion on pediatric and adolescent bariatric surgery. Drs. Matt Martin, Adrian Dan and Katherine Cironi delve into the latest ASMBS guidelines, comparing long-term outcomes of gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy in adolescents versus adults. They explore key comorbidities, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and orthopedic issues, and emphasize the importance of early intervention. This episode also tackles the complex ethical considerations surrounding surgery in this vulnerable population, including consent, multidisciplinary care, and the evolving role of medical therapies like GLP-1 agonists. Show Hosts: - Matthew Martin - Adrian Dan - Katherine Cironi Learning Objectives:  ·  Identify the current ASMBS guidelines for pediatric and adolescent bariatric surgery, including BMI thresholds and associated comorbidities.  ·  Describe common comorbidities seen in the pediatric population eligible for bariatric surgery, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and orthopedic issues.  ·  Compare and contrast long-term outcomes of bariatric surgery (gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy) in adolescents and adults, including remission rates of comorbidities and reoperation rates.  ·  Discuss the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, including psychological and ethical considerations, when evaluating adolescent patients for bariatric surgery.  ·  Explain the ethical framework used in evaluating adolescents for bariatric surgery, including consent/assent, parental involvement, and addressing potential coercion.  ·  Recognize the evolving role of medical management (e.g., GLP-1 agonists) in conjunction with or as an alternative to bariatric surgery in adolescents. Article #1: Inge 2019 – Five-year outcomes of gastric bypass in adolescents as compared with adults https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31461610/ - The cumulative effect of sustained severe obesity (BMI >35) from adolescence into adulthood increases the likelihood of diabetes, hypertension, respiratory conditions, kidney dysfunction, walking limitations, and venous edema in legs/feet (when compared to adults that did not report severe obesity in adolescence) - American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) guidelines for adolescents who should be considered for bariatric surgery: BMI is ≥35 with a co-morbidity or if they have a BMI ≥40 (class 3 obesity, 140% of the 95th percentile) - This article utilizes the Teen-Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (TEENS LAB) and LABS (adults) databases to evaluate the outcomes of adolescents vs. adults who underwent bariatric surgery Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (2006-2009) - 161 adolescents (13-19 at the time of surgery) with severe obesity (BMI>35) vs 396 adults (25-50 years old at the time of surgery) who have remained obese (BMI>30) since adolescence  - Both groups had the gastric bypass procedure as their primary bariatric operation  - Both groups had unadjusted similar demographics, however, BMI was higher in adolescence (54) when compared to adults (51)  - Results were analyzed using linear mixed and Poisson mixed models to analyze weight and coexisting conditions - After surgery, adolescents were significantly more likely than adults to have remission of type 2 diabetes and hypertension - Increased likelihood of remission of diabetes due to the shorter duration of diabetes, lower baseline glycated Hgb, less use of medications, and increased baseline C-peptide levels  - Increased vascular stiffness in adults along with a longer duration of hypertension make the cessation of hypertension less responsive with surgery in adults  - No significant difference in percent weight changes between adolescents and adults 5 years after surgery  - Both adults and adolescent groups had decreased rates of hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL levels, albeit not significantly different when comparing the two groups  - Of note, the rate of abdominal reoperations was significantly higher among adolescents (20%) than among adults (16%) with cholecystectomy representing nearly half the procedures in both groups - Limitations - At baseline, adults had a high prevalence of both diabetes and hypertension - only 14% of adolescents had diabetes vs 31% of adults  - Only 30% of adolescents had hypertension vs 61% of adults  Article #2: Ryder 2024 – Ten-year outcomes after bariatric surgery in adolescents  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39476348/ - The goal is to discuss the long-term durability of weight loss and remission of coexisting conditions in adolescents after bariatric surgery  - This article utilizes the Teen-Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery (TEENS LABS) database to evaluate the 10-year outcomes in adolescents who underwent gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy  - 260 adolescents with an average age of 17 years old at the time of surgery (ages ranged from 13-19 years old) - 161 adolescents underwent gastric bypass, 99 adolescents underwent sleeve gastrectomy  - Results were analyzed using propensity score-adjusted linear and generalized mixed models  - At 10 years, the average BMI had decreased significantly with both groups experiencing about a 20% change in BMI on average - To assess comorbidities, both groups were analyzed together -  55% of patients who had DM2 at baseline, were in remission at 10 years - 57% of patients who had HTN at baseline, were in remission at 10 years -  54% of patients who had dyslipidemia at baseline, were in remission at 10 years - Limitations  - Neither of these studies compare surgery to medical management. GLP-1s have shown promise for weight loss management but we need more data in terms of long-term outcomes in co-morbidities like diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia  - Highlighted Outcomes  - Metabolic bariatric surgery is quite effective in the adolescent population  - Adolescents tend to have weight loss that is similar to that of adults and improved resolution of comorbid conditions (DM2, HTN, dyslipidemia) Article #3: Moore 2020 – Development and application of an ethical framework for pediatric metabolic and bariatric surgery evaluation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33191162/ - The purpose of this paper is to describe the ethical framework that supports the use of metabolic & bariatric surgery (MBS) on the principle of justice, and how providers can conduct a thorough evaluation of patients presenting for these surgeries - Highlights adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and preadolescent children who pose more ethical questions before considering surgery  - This article utilizes the bariatric surgery center at one children's hospital and the institution's ethics consult service to develop an ethical framework to evaluate pediatric patients seeking bariatric surgery – using the national ASMBS guidelines  - This ethical framework utilized 4 central ethical questions 1.     Should any patients be automatically excluded from evaluation for MBS? 2.     How should it be determined that the benefits of MBS outweigh the risks? 3.     How do we ensure the patient fully understands and is capable of cooperating with the surgery and follow-up care? 4.     How do we make sure the decision to have surgery is truly voluntary, and not coerced by family or others? - Results: this ethical framework was discussed in depth in two case studies  - Overview of framework: an ethical question would arise from the bariatric team they would review & apply the ethical framework. The question is either resolved by the bariatric team OR ethics consult, continue pre-operative workup vs no surgery - Case 1: 17M (BMI 42) with a history of autism spectrum disorder, pre-DM, depression with behavior challenges, HTN, dyslipidemia. Testing at school demonstrates intellectual functioning at a fourth-grade level. Pt lives with mom and 11-year-old sister. Mom endorses food insecurity (on supplemental nutrition assistance benefits) and struggles with her son's large intake of food.  1.     Co-morbidities should not be exclusionary, but pt should undergo a comprehensive psychosocial evaluation with attention to family dynamics and support and the patient's decision-making capacity  2.     Discuss benefits vs risks. Benefits – decreased progression of DM2, HTN, hyperlipidemia, cardiometabolic dx. Risks – gastric leak, infection, bleeding, dumping syndrome, etc.  3.     Can assess decision-making capacity with the surgical team or if need be other teams. In this case, the pt had limited decision-making capacity  - His level of understanding remained stable during the pre-op visits, and he gave assent to surgery - The mom identified a second source of support (extended family) - The team talked to both the patient and mother alone and then, together, found that the patient developed an independent desire for surgery, and thus moved forward.  - Case 2: 8F (BMI 50) with a history of mod OSA, L slipped capital femoral epiphysis s/p surgical stabilization (6 mos prior). The patient is neurotypical & excels in school, and lives with mom & dad. Referred by mom & dad (mom with a recent history of sleeve gastrectomy).  1.     An 8-year-old should not be discriminated against based solely on age, but the patient should be offered more conservative/less invasive options before OR.  a.     In this case, the family had not yet been offered these nonsurgical approaches (structured weight management program, physical support, dietician) 2.     Discuss benefits vs risks. Benefits – preventing progression of hip disease, improvement of OSA, decreased risk of cardiometabolic dx. Risks – anatomic/infectious/nutrition risks  3.     Decision-making capacity was assessed. Found that the parents were more advocating for the surgery saying she has a poor quality of life physically and socially. When the patient was separated from her parents, she said she could lose weight if she had healthier foods at home and someone to exercise with. The patient had decision-making capacity & did not assent to surgery.  4.     When the ethics team interviewed the patient and parents, the parents had a strong preference toward surgery vs patient was scared of surgery and wanted to try other approaches first  a.      Decided that the child's dissent outweighed the medical necessity for surgery and that there were conservative treatment options still available to try  - Highlighted Outcomes  - ASMBS guidelines give us good direction on who qualifies for surgery and emphasize an interdisciplinary approach to decision-making. The decision to pursue surgery should always weigh the benefits and risks and should be made collaboratively with the patient, family, and care team ***SPECIALTY TEAM APPLICATION LINK: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdX2a_zsiyaz-NwxKuUUa5cUFolWhOw3945ZRFoRcJR1wjZ4w/viewform?usp=sharing Please visit https://behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.

September 15th is International Myotonic Dystrophy Awareness Day. To learn more about helping educate and advocate for Myotonic Dystrophy visit the Muscular Dystrophy Association or Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation. The purpose of this Awareness Day is to garner the attention of the wider general public, policy makers, regulators, biopharmaceutical representatives, researchers, health care professionals, and anyone with an interest in changing the future of myotonic dystrophy. Raising awareness of myotonic dystrophy will help improve service provision, basic research, drug development, and policymaking related to the disease. Increased funding for myotonic dystrophy research will improve health outcomes, reduce disability, and increase life expectancy for individuals living with the disease, and holds great promise for helping individuals with diseases with similar genetic bases, such as Fragile X syndrome and Huntington's disease. To learn about the different types of myotonic dystrophy, visit this NORD webpage. In addition to this podcast host/producer who lives with Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1, the following podcast episodes have featured guests living with DM1, DM2, or caregivers in a DM family: Food = Medicine Passion and Motivation to Move through the Hard Stuff Working with Wounded Warriors Music Gives Me a Peace Bubble Salute to Caregivers Stories of Healing with Essential Oils

Episode 98: Apretude and code blue. Apretude is a new injectable medication for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), Dr. Yomi presents how to use it. Then, Mandeep, Jon, and.  Introduction: Apretude, a new injectable for HIV PrEP.  By Timiiye Yomi, MD. Moderated by Jennifer Thoene, MD.   What is HIV PrEP? Pre-exposure prophylaxis (or PrEP) consists of taking medication when a patient has a high risk of contracting HIV to lower their chances of getting infected.  Who can take HIV PrEP? Individuals who may benefit from PrEP include but are not limited to: Male who have sex with male (MSM), people with multiple sexual partners with no consistent use of condoms, or people who have been diagnosed with an STD in the past 6 months, IV drug users who share needles, syringes, or other injection equipment. History of HIV PrEP: In 2012, the first medication for HIV PrEP was approved—Truvada® (tenofovir-emtricitabine). Truvada is a once-daily oral prescription drug. Seven years later, in 2019, the next medication for HIV PrEP was approved— Descovy® (tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine). It is also a daily PO medication. But today we want to introduce you to the newest medication for HIV PrEP—Apretude® (cabotegravir). On Dec 20, 2021, FDA approved Apretude (cabotegravir), an extended-release injectable for HIV-1 pre-exposure prophylaxis for at-risk adolescents and adults who weigh at least 35 kg (77 lbs). Mechanism of action: Apretude is a long-acting integrase inhibitor that works by binding to the HIV integrase active site and blocking the strand transfer step of retroviral DNA integration. How is it given? Comes as a 600-mg (3-mL) injection. Patients receive 2 initiation injections administered 1 month apart, thereafter every 2 months. Patients can start medication immediately or first take the oral formulation for 4 weeks to assess how well they tolerate the medication before beginning the injection. Trials: The safety and efficacy of Apretude in reducing the risk of contracting HIV-1 were evaluated in two randomized double-blind trials comparing Apretude and Truvada (once-daily oral medication).Trial 1: Participants who took Apretude had a 69% less risk of contracting HIV compared to Truvada.Trial 2: Participants who took Apretude had a 90% less risk of contracting HIV compared to Truvada. Common side effects: Fever, malaise, fatigue, sleep problems, myalgias and arthralgias, headache, rash, red and swollen eyes, edema of face, lips, mouth, tongue; GI discomfort, hepatotoxicity, and depression. Note: Some drug-resistant HIV variants have been identified in people with undiagnosed HIV prior to beginning Apretude. People who test positive for HIV while on Apretude must transition to a complete HIV treatment regimen as Apretude is not approved for HIV treatment.  Requirements to receive Apretude: -Patient must be HIV-1 negative-Patient must remain negative to continue receiving Apretude-Patient must not miss any injections as this increases their risk of contracting the virus Apretude does not protect against other sexually transmitted infections. Patients must be sexually responsible and use other forms of protection such as condoms during sexual intercourse. This is the Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California.

Ross University School of Medicine. What is a code blue?Arreaza: Today we will present to you a case to remind you about some principles of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The term “code blue” in the United States refers to a situation where a patient is in cardiac arrest, respiratory arrest, unresponsive, or experiencing another medical emergency that requires immediate attention. “Code blue” is commonly used in hospitals and clinics to call a rapid response team to arrive immediately to evaluate the patient. We hope you can benefit from this brief review and feel ready for your next code blue. Of course, you will need more than we provide during these few minutes, but we hope it triggers your curiosity to keep learning or practicing. By the way, “code blue” is not standard for medical emergency in the whole world. For example, in the United Kingdom, they call it “code red”. Case presentation: Mr. DD 56-year-old man with a past medical history of coronary artery disease, recent MI, DM2, and CHF presents today to our clinic for hospital follow. He had an MI 2 weeks ago. He reports that when he was at home working in the yard, he suddenly had 8/10 retrosternal chest pain, pressure-like, accompanied by shortness of breath and diaphoresis. The pain radiated to the left side of his neck/jaw and down his left shoulder and arm. Jon: Nitroglycerin was taken by Mr. DD 3 times without resolution of symptoms. The patient was taken by EMS to Kern Medical ER. In the hospital, there was a 4mm ST elevation on ECG on leads II, III, and aVF. Q waves were also seen in anterior leads V4-V6. Patient was taken to cath lab and stent was placed in the RCA. ECHO showed decreased left ventricle wall motion and dilated left ventricle with an ejection fraction of 28%. Mr. DD was discharged after 5 days in the hospital.M: He is currently on lisinopril, carvedilol, atorvastatin, aspirin, clopidogrel, metformin, and digoxin. He states he is not compliant with all the medications because he forgets to get refills at times. He has a 35-pack year history of smoking and drinks 3-4 4oz drinks every day after work. He states he has used methamphetamine and cocaine intermittently within the last 6 months.J: Today, he lets the MA know that he is having some chest pain at night, shortness of breath with minimal activity for the last week, and at times he feels his heart is beating too fast. He has a follow-up appointment with cardiology in 2 weeks. The MA tells you that the patient vitals today are BP:195/105, HR: 108, RR: 28, and O2% 89% on room air. M: You are reviewing the patient's chart when you hear a loud thud coming from the room, you rush into the room and find the patient on the ground. The patient is unresponsive and is not moving. What is your next action? A. Try to lift the patient off the ground and back onto the chair or bed B. Give the patient nitroglycerin sublingually C. Call and wait for the EMS before proceeding D. Obtain IV accessE. See if the patient is arousable and check pulse and breathing E is the correct answer to this question because before initiating any type of treatment, first, you must assess the patient for alert response and their basic vitals such as their pulse and breathing.J: We do this because we need to know if the cardiopulmonary systems are intact. When they are not intact, regardless of the level of medical training, we must start CPR protocol. M: This patient most likely suffered a tachyarrhythmia, a very common post-MI-complication that causes the highest mortality rates. The most common cause of death are ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. J: These are the steps we must take in order to start resuscitation of the cardiopulmonary system in any environment before the patient can be taken to a higher level of care. In this situation, Doctor Holter and Doctor Singh will perform 2-patient CPR. This is only an introduction of basic life support and advanced cardiac life support. You will need additional training to get the BLS and ACLS certificates. M: First, assure your environment is safe before preceding to render care. You want to be able to give the best uninterrupted care to your patient without becoming a patient yourself. Jon: Doctor Holter. Mandeep: Doctor Singh.J - Doctor Holter: I will reach down and check the patient. “Sir, Sir, are you okay” – I am assessing for reactions from visual or verbal cues given by me. When the patient is unresponsive to verbal and visual cues, I will give a painful stimulus to the patient such as a nail bed pinch or sternal rub. Next, it is necessary to assess the pulse and breathing of the patient. Narrator: The reason we check if the patient is alert is to assess the neurologic activity. The lack of response to painful stimuli indicates there is no self-protect response. To assess the carotid pulse, you must palpate the carotid artery by placing the index and middle fingers near the upper neck between the sternomastoid and trachea roughly at the level of the cricoid cartilage. Assess breathing by checking the rise and fall of the chest. Lack of responsiveness, pulse, and breathing indicates that immediate Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) needs to be initiated. J - Doctor Holter: Please call 911 and get an AED.M - Doctor Singh: I will call 911 and get an AED.J- Doctor Holter: I will place the person on their back and start single-person CPR until Doctor Singh comes back. Narrator: CPR is performed by placing the patient flat on their back on an even surface. Place the heel of your hand on the center of the person's chest (on the mid sternum) then place the palm of your other hand on top. Press down 5-6 cm (2-2.5 inches) at a rate of 100-120 beats per minute. Compressions should not be interrupted because they serve as an artificial way of contracting the heart and circulating the blood to maintain blood perfusion. For 1 or 2 person CPR on an adult: Give 5 cycles of 30 compressions to 2 breaths.For 1 person CPR on a child: Give 5 cycles of 30 compressions to 2 breaths.For 2 person CPR on a child: Give 5 cycles of 15 compressions to 2 breaths.M - Doctor Singh : Doctor Holter, continue the compressions and I will give rescue breaths and start to place the AED pads on the patient. Let me know if you are tired and we can switch to give high-quality CPR with adequate depth and rate. Narrator: The AED comes with a diagram made on the pads to instruct where to place the pads. Once an AED is positioned correctly on the patient's chest, let it detect if a shockable rhythm is present. Shockable rhythms include ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. If there is not a shockable rhythm detected, then continue with CPR until a higher level of care is reached. If a shockable rhythm is detected, the AED will advise the users to step back and verbalize “clear” in order to ensure that everyone is clear of the patient. It will then administer a shock to the patient in the range of 120-200 Joules, based on the device manufacturer's recommendation.M - Doctor Singh: Doctor Holter, stay clear of the patient. The AED advises shocking the patient. I will press the button to administer the shock now.Narrator: After administration of the first shock, ACLS guidelines recommend continuing CPR for 2 minutes without checking for a pulse, as effective cardiac contractility lags behind the restoration of an organized electrical rhythm. After the next 2-minute cycle of CPR, the AED will reanalyze the patient's rhythm to determine if the rhythm is once again shockable. J - Doctor Holter: Doctor Singh , continue high-quality CPR while I initiate ACLS protocol. I will get an IV and start epinephrine. M- Doctor Singh: I will continue CPR in the meantime. Narrator: ACLS starts with again CPR, AED rhythm reading, and shock administration but with a higher level of care (ACLS). You must obtain IV or IO access. Epinephrine is administered every 3-5 minutes during the cycle in doses of 1 mg at a time. After each dose of epinephrine and CPR for 2 minutes the AED should reassess if the rhythm is shockable, and then continue CPR for another 2 minutes. At this time, it is recommended to use amiodarone or lidocaine. CPR will continue but at this time patient will likely be in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, and EMS will be managing the cycles. The cycles will continue until return of spontaneous circulation is obtained.J: Myocardial infarction is the most common cause of shock-refractory ventricular fibrillation, along with coronary artery disease. If CPR does not resume spontaneous circulation within 40-50 minutes, there is a decreased chance of recovery. Spontaneous circulation may be achieved in patients with refractory Vfib with coronary revascularization. Therefore, in addition to traditional CPR, venoarterial ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) can be used as an adjunct and can result in much better systemic perfusion. Essentially, this is a technique in which blood is drained from the body and circulated outside through an oxygen and heat exchanger and is then reintroduced into the body. This technique can be used if preparing for coronary revascularization. M: Vfib is a great risk in the acute phase after MI, up to 72 hours after revascularization, due to the recent ischemia and reperfusion. After the first 72 hours and up to a month following, Vfib remains a risk due to the continued remodeling of the heart. This newly remodeled tissue can cause interruptions in the normal electrical signaling of the heart leading to dissociated contractions and subsequent lack of perfusion through the body, which can quickly lead to death within minutes if not recognized and managed immediately with CPR and defibrillation as described.J: Clinicians should be aware of their patients who would be more susceptible to serious events such as this and be on top of their training about management. This may not be a common occurrence in clinics, but it is a very serious event and requires a prompt and appropriate response. Conclusion: Now we conclude our episode number 98 “Apretude and code blue.” Dr. Yomi concisely explained how to use the new injectable medication for HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). Then, Manpreet, Jon, and Sheinnera presented a case that can actually happen in clinic and anywhere. CPR is a life-saving skill that needs to be learned and practiced over and over so we are not taken by surprise. Remember that heart disease continues to be the number 1 killer in the United States. So, make sure you know where your AED is and be ready to use it when needed. Even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.This week we thank Hector Arreaza, Timiiye Yomi, Jennifer Thoene, Manpreet Singh, Jon-Ade Holter, and Sheinnera Gerongay.Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Show Notes Jeff: Welcome back to EMplify the podcast corollary to EB Medicine's Emergency Medicine Practice. I'm Jeff Nusbaum and I'm back with Nachi Gupta for the 30th episode of EMplify and the first Post-Ponte Vedra Episode of 2019. I hope everybody enjoyed a fantastic conference. This month, we are sticking in the abdomen for another round of evidence-based medicine, focusing on Emergency Department Management of Patients With Complications of Bariatric Surgery. Nachi: As the obesity epidemic continues to worsen in America, bariatric procedures are becoming more and more common, and this population is one that you will need to be comfortable seeing. Jeff: Thankfully, this month's author, Dr. Ogunniyi, associate residency director at Harbor-UCLA, is here to help with this month's evidence-based article. Nachi: And don't forget Dr. Li of NYU and Dr. Luber of McGovern Medical School, who both played a roll by peer reviewing this article. So let's dive in, starting with some background. Starting off with some real basics, obesity is defined as a BMI of greater than 30. Jeff: Oh man, already starting with the personal assaults, I see how this is gonna go… Show More v Nachi: Nah! Just some definitions, nothing personal! Jeff: Whatever, back to the article… Obesity is associated with an increased risk of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. Rising levels of obesity and associated co-morbidities also lead to an increase in bariatric procedures, and thereby ED visits! Nachi: One study found a 30-day ED utilization rate of 11% for those undergoing bariatric surgery with an admission rate of 5%. Another study found a 1-year post Roux-en-y ED visit rate of 31% and yet another found that 25% of these patients will require admission within 2 years of surgery. Jeff: Well that's kind worrisome. Nachi: It sure is, but maybe even more worrisome is the rising prevalence of obesity. While it was < 15% in 1990, by 2016 it reached 40%. That's almost half of the population. Additionally, back in 2010, it was estimated that 6.6% of the US population had a BMI> 40 – approximately 15.5 million adults!! Jeff: Admittedly, the US numbers look awful, and honestly are awful, but this is a global problem. From the 80's to 2008, the worldwide prevalence of obesity nearly doubled! Nachi: Luckily, bariatric surgical procedures were invented and honed to the point that they have really shown measurable achievements in sustained weight loss. Along with treating obesity, these procedures have also resulted in an improvement in associated comorbidities like hypertension, diabetes, NAFLD, and dyslipidemia. Jeff: A 2014 study even showed an up to 80% reduction in the likelihood of developing DM2 postoperatively at the 7-year mark. Nachi: Taken all together, the rising rates of obesity and the rising success and availability of bariatric procedures has led to an increased number of bariatric procedures, with 228,000 performed in the US in 2017. Jeff: And while it's not exactly core EM, we're going to briefly discuss indications for bariatric surgery, as this is something we don't often review even in academic training programs. Nachi: According to joint guidelines from the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, and The Obesity Society, there are three groups that meet indications for bariatric surgery. The first is patients with a BMI greater than or equal to 40 without coexisting medical problems. The second is patients with a BMI greater than or equal to 35 with at least one obesity related comorbidity such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or obstructive sleep apnea. And finally, the third is patient with a BMI of 30-35 with DM or metabolic syndrome though current evidence is limited for this group. Jeff: Based on the obesity numbers, we just cited – it seems like a TON of people should be eligible for these procedures.
