Impact of opioid-related disorders on complications in patients undergoing bariatric surgery: a propensity score-matched analysis of the national inpatient sample.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe opioid crisis caused a huge health concern in the United States. Despite this, few studies have examined the influence of opioid-related disorders (OD) on outcomes after bariatric surgery. The major goal of this study is to determine the impact of OD on in-hospital outcomes for patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
methodThe National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2016 to 2020 was used to evaluate patients with OD who underwent bariatric operations including sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch. The non-OD comparison group was created using a propensity score match (1:1). Weighted analysis was carried out utilizing NIS-provided weights. The odds ratios were obtained using multivariate logistic regression.
resultsA total of 159,455 patients who underwent bariatric surgery were evaluated. Propensity score matching and weighted analysis were used to compare 11,025 in the OD group and 11,025 in the non-OD group. OD was an independent predictor for postoperative complications (odds ratio: 1.29, 95% confidence interval: 1.19-1.39, p < 0.001). Among complications, OD was a predictor for bleeding complications, postoperative nausea and vomiting, anastomotic leak, and mechanical ventilation. In addition, the OD group experienced significantly longer lengths of stay (LOS) and a higher total hospital charges.
conclusionIn patients undergoing bariatric surgery, OD is associated with a significantly higher risk of postoperative complications, as well as increased LOS and total hospital charges. These patients may benefit from further preoperative optimization, including decreasing the opioid dose and closer postoperative monitoring.
