-Summary

Obesity is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) has in several randomized controlled trials (RCT) been shown to be superior to best medical therapy in the treatment of T2D. In the area of CVD, RCT after MBS are lacking. It was recently demonstrated in a cohort study that MBS in patients with severe obesity and a previous myocardial infarction (MI) was associated with a 50% reduction in the risk of death and new MI. The aim of this proposal is to confirm this in a nationwide RCT. Using the nationwide SWEDEHEART database patients with severe obesity and a previous MI will be identified. They will be contacted and offered participation. After informed consent the patients will be randomized to MBS or optimized care (including visit with a cardiologist and optimization of secondary preventive measures and referral to dietician/physiotherapist). The primary outcome measure is a major cardiovascular adverse event (MACE). Secondary outcome measures include mortality, new MI, stroke, heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Tertiary outcome measures include health related quality of life and surgical complications. Patients will be followed in the nationwide metabolic surgery register SOReg, the national inpatient register, national cause of death register, the Swedish prescribed drug register, and the Swedish population register. If positive results these can be included in guidelines for MBS.

+Arms and interventions

ArmTypeInterventionsDescription
Bariatric surgeryActive comparatorProcedure: Bariatric surgeryGastric bypass or gastric sleeve
Standard careActive comparatorProcedure: Standard careStandard obesity treatment offered in Swedish regions
  • Bariatric surgery (Procedure): Type of surgery assigned by surgeon in consultation with patient
  • Standard care (Procedure): Standard care can consist of dietary intervention, physiotherapy or drug treatment in accordance to the care given in the region of Sweden where the patient resides.

+Outcome measures

Primary outcomes

  • MACE defined as first occurrence of death (all-cause mortality), MI, stroke, myocardial revascularization (not related to MI), hospital admission because of heart failure or atrial fibrillation as a primary ICD diagnosis. [Through study completion, expected average of 6 years]: Data will be obtained for the Swedish national patient registry and other national quality registries.

Secondary outcomes

  • Total event rate [Through study completion, expected average of 6 years]: Based on events listed in the primary outcome measure. Data will be obtained for the Swedish national patient registry and other national quality registries.
  • All-cause mortality [Through study completion, expected average of 6 years]: Data will be obtained for the Swedish national national quality registries.
  • Cardiovascular death [Through study completion, expected average of 6 years]: Data will be obtained for the Swedish national national quality registries.
  • Remission of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and hypertension [Through study completion, expected average of 6 years]: Number of patients in remission
  • Myocardial infarction [Through study completion, expected average of 6 years]: Data will be obtained for the Swedish national national quality registries.
  • Stroke [Through study completion, expected average of 6 years]: Data will be obtained for the Swedish national national quality registries.
  • Myocardial revascularization (not related to MI) [Through study completion, expected average of 6 years]: Data will be obtained for the Swedish national national quality registries.
  • hospital admission because of heart failure as a primary ICD diagnosis. [Through study completion, expected average of 6 years]: Data will be obtained for the Swedish national national quality registries.
  • hospital admission because of atrial fibrillation as a primary ICD diagnosis. [Through study completion, expected average of 6 years]: Data will be obtained for the Swedish national national quality registries.

Other outcomes

  • Safety, i.e., no excess of severe complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥3b (a complication requiring intervention under general anesthesia or resulting in organ failure or death)) and long-term morbidity. [Through study completion, expected average of 6 years]: Data will be obtained for the Swedish national patient registry and other national quality registries.
  • Body weight change [5-year follow-up]: Change in kg from baseline during long-term follow-up.
  • Change in quality of life [5-year follow-up]: Assessed by EQ-5D-5L questionnaire
  • All-cause hospitalizations [Through study completion, expected average of 6 years]: Based on ICD 10 diagnosis in national patient registry and other national quality registries
  • Change in quality of life [5-year follow-up]: Assessed by RAND 36
