description: Bariatric surgery was associated with a reduced number of cardiovascular deaths (28 events among 2010 patients in the surgery group vs 49 events among 2037 patients in the control group; adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.47; 95% CI, 0.29-0.76; P = .002). The number of total first time (fatal or nonfatal) cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction or stroke, whichever came first) was lower in the surgery group (199 events among 2010 patients) than in the control group (234 events among 2037 patients; adjusted HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.54-0.83; P < .001). -- Extrapolated from this data the outcome of Nonfatal myocardial infarction or stroke occurred in 188 out of 2037 patients in the control group and 171 out of 2010 patients in the surgery group, and the adjusted HR for total events is assumed to apply (adjusted HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.54 to 0.83)

assertion: Compared with usual care, bariatric surgery was associated with reduced number of cardiovascular deaths and lower incidence of cardiovascular events in obese adults.

studyDesign: Observational research (Study Design#SEVCO:01002), Parallel cohort design (Study Design#SEVCO:01011), Matching for comparison (Study Design#SEVCO:01014), Longitudinal data collection (Study Design#SEVCO:01028)

statistic

description: Hazard ratio, adjusted 0.67; 95% CI 0.54 to 0.83

note: The event rates are calculated from the reported total (fatal and nonfatal events) minus the fatal events. Nonfatal myocardial infarction or stroke occurred in 188 out of 2037 patients in the control group and 171 out of 2010 patients in the surgery group, and the adjusted HR for total events is assumed to apply (adjusted HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.54 to 0.83)
