• 1 other identifier: 13204
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 146
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

This retrospective study will analyse the transition of an Australian hospital which significantly increased volume of bariatric operations after introduction of a clinical pathway, and to assess the outcomes. Barriers to introduction of the multidisciplinary pathway and the means to overcome these will also be analysed and discussed. The analysis will also determine if there are any other areas of bariatric surgery which can be further investigated to optimise current practice.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Post-operative length of stay (nights)

  This will be measured in number of nights the participant stayed in hospital after the procedure.

  The number of nights the participant stay in hospital from the day of procedure to the day of hospital discharge. This time period occurs immediately after the procedure. This data will be retrospectively reviewed on an average of 5 years.

• End weight loss

  Post-operative weight loss

  Up to 12 months

Secondary Outcomes (8)

• End weight loss

  Up to 24 months

• End weight loss

  Up to 36 months

• Intraoperative time

  The start time of the operation to the end time of the procedure. This data will be retrospectively reviewed on an average of 5 years.

• Post-operative complications

  Up to 36 months

• Number of operations performed in time period

  Retrospectively reviewed, 1 yearly
