What is Bariatric Surgery Reduces Long-term Rates of Cardiac Events and Need for Coronary Revascularization: a Propensity-matched Analysis about?
## Background: Obesity and obesity-related comorbidities are associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease (cad). bariatric surgery results in durable weight loss and improvement in numerous cad risk factors, yet limited data exist on cad-related outcomes. we hypothesized that bariatric surgery would lead to decreased risk of cad and reduced rates of coronary revascularization procedures. ## Methods: All patients who underwent bariatric surgery at a single medical center from 1985 to 2015 were identified. a control population of morbidly obese patients who did not undergo bariatric surgery was identified using an institutional clinical data repository over the same study period, propensity score matched 1:1 on patient demographics and comorbidities including cardiac history. univariate analyses were performed to compare outcomes in the surgery and non-surgery groups. ## Results: A total of 3410 bariatric surgery patients and 45,750 non-surgical patients were identified. after 1:1 propensity-score matching, a total of 3242 patients in each group were found to be well balanced in baseline characteristics and risk factors. with a median follow-up of greater than 6 years, t
