Introduction

Obesity is a disease that is reaching epidemic proportions globally. In the first two decades of the 20^th century this condition has already become one of the leading Public Health problems, given its increased prevalence in several regions of the world.¹1. World Health Organization. Obesity and overweight. Factsheet n.311 [Internet]. Geneva: World Health Organization; 2016 [cited 2017 Mar 28].

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), globally in 2014 there were 600 million obese people, i.e. 13% of the planet’s adult population. Of this percentage, 11% were male and 15% female.¹1. World Health Organization. Obesity and overweight. Factsheet n.311 [Internet]. Geneva: World Health Organization; 2016 [cited 2017 Mar 28].

http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheet... Between 2006 and 2016, obesity prevalence in Brazil increased by 7.1 percentage points from 11.8% to 18.9% and affected 18.1% of males and 19.6% of females.²2. Ministério da Saúde (BR).

Obesity is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms, as well as contributing to an increase in the mortality coefficient.³3.

However, few forms of traditional treatment for Class 3 obesity or severe obesity are effective: most of them produce unsatisfactory results whereby 95% of patients regain their initial weight in two years.⁴4.

Owing to the absence of a more effective intervention as part of clinical management of severe obesity, there has been a growth in the indication of bariatric surgery.⁴4. Segal A, Fandiño J.

According to the Brazilian Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery Society (SBCBM), Brazil is the world’s second leading country in performing bariatric surgery after the United States. Bariatric surgery among Brazilians increased from 72,000 operations in 2012 to 100,000 in 2016. The increase in the period from 2006 to 2015 is estimated to have been 300%.⁶6.

The Brazilian National Health System (SUS) included gastroplasty on the list of procedures it covers in 1999. Currently the criteria for indicating bariatric surgery covered by the public health service are stipulated by Ministerial Ordinance GM/MS No. 424, dated March 19^th 2013: (i) individuals with body mass index (BMI) >50kg/m²; (ii) individuals with BMI >40kg/m², with or without comorbidities, with unsuccessful continuous clinical treatment in Primary Care and/or Specialized Outpatient Care services for at least two years following clinical protocols; and (iii) individuals with BMI >35kg/m² who have comorbidities, with unsuccessful continuous clinical treatment for at least two years following clinical protocols.⁷7.

Up until the end of 2016, bariatric surgery on the SUS was only performed via laparotomy. However, on January 31^st 2017, Ministerial Ordinance GM/MS No. 5 incorporated videolaparoscopic bariatric surgery into SUS procedures.⁸8. Brasil. Ministério da Saúde.

The objective of this study was to characterize SUS hospitalizations for bariatric surgery in Brazil from 2010 to 2016.

Methods

This was a descriptive epidemiological time series study based on secondary data. We sought to give continuity and chronological sequence to the study conducted by Kelles, Machado and Barreto.⁹9. Kelles SMB, Machado CJ, Barreto, SM. Dez anos de cirurgia bariátrica no Brasil: mortalidade intra-hopitalar em pacientes atendidos pelo Sistema Único de Saúde ou por Operadora da Saúde Suplementar. ABCD, Arq Bras Cir Dig [Internet]. 2014 nov-dez [citado 2019 fev 20];27(4):261-7. Disponível em: Disponível em: http://www.scielo.br/pdf/abcd/v27n4/pt_0102-6720-abcd-27-04-00261.pdf . Doi: 10.1590/S0102-67202014000400008
http://www.scielo.br/pdf/abcd/v27n4/pt_0... These authors compared access, in-hospital mortality, length of inpatient stay and cost in relation to patients undergoing bariatric surgery on the SUS in Brazil or at a supplementary health service in the city of Belo Horizonte between 2001 and 2010. We found no other similar studies involving national SUS data after 2010.

Our target population comprised people aged 16 or over, given the criteria for indicating surgery in force in the selected study period. These criteria were stipulated by Ministerial Ordinance GM/MS No. 425/2013, which included young people aged 16-18 undergoing specific evaluation and also adults aged over 65 after having been assessed for risk-benefit.¹⁰10. Brasil. Ministério da Saúde. Portaria MS/GM nº 425, de 19 de março de 2013.

http://bvsms.saude.gov.br/bvs/saudelegis...

We consulted abridged public domain SUS Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS) files corresponding to the period covering January 2010 to December 2016, available for public access via the SUS information portal (www.datasus.saude.gov.br).

Tabulation and analysis of the consistency and completeness of the data retrieved from the source files were performed using two Ministry of Health provided tools: TabNet, which enables cross-checking of pre-defined basic variables on the above mentioned website; and TabWin, which enables greater detailing when cross-checking data. The original data dictionary consisted of the Technical Notes available on the same website.

SIH/SUS uses the Hospital Inpatient Admission Authorization (AIH-SUS) form to collect data. There are two models of this document: (i) AIH-1, for ‘Initial Admission’, containing patient identification data and a record of the set of medical procedures and diagnostic services performed; and (ii) AIH-5, or ‘Long Stay’ form, for data on chronic or psychiatric patients needing continual treatment.¹¹11. Lessa FJD, Mendes ACG, Farias SF, Sá DA, Duarte PO, Melo Filho DA. Novas metodologias para vigilância epidemiológica: uso do SIH/SUS. Inf Epidemiol SUS [Internet]. 2000 [citado 2019 fev 20];9(Supl I):3-27. Disponível em: Disponível em: http://scielo.iec.gov.br/pdf/iesus/v9s1/v9s1a01.pdf
http://scielo.iec.gov.br/pdf/iesus/v9s1/...

In order, to obtain data on the physical dimension of our study, namely ‘admissions’ or ‘hospitalizations’, we used paid Initial Admission AIHs (AIH-1). Whereas, to obtain data on the financial dimension we used the Long Stay AIHs (AIH-5), given that patient expenditure calculated on AIH-1 is incorporated into AIH-5.

Data tabulation and analysis were performed using Microsoft Excel®. Our analysis plan took into account all hospitalizations of service users whose main diagnosis at the time of hospital admission on the SUS was ‘obesity’ - as defined by code E66 of the 10^th Edition of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) - and who had at least one of the following procedures (SUS codes): gastroplasty with intestinal bypass (04.07.01.017-3); gastrectomy with or without duodenal switch (04.07.01.012-2); vertical gastrectomy, also known as sleeve gastrectomy (04.07.01.036-0); and vertical banded gastroplasty (04.07.01.018-1).

We calculated indicators by type of surgery, sex, geographic region of hospitalization, use of intensive care unit (ICU), lethality and cost per hospitalization. The data on surgery are available to the public, although they are not systematized or expressed in indicators that facilitate comparison.

Average volume of hospitalizations for the period was calculated by sex and age range. The hospitalization coefficients per population (per 100,000 inhabitants) were calculated based on the averages for hospitalizations occurring between 2010 and 2016, divided by the population projection for the midpoint year (2013).

We also retrieved from the SIH/SUS system data on total cost, use of ICU, number of in-hospital deaths, patient sex and age range.

Monetary amounts were obtained in national currency (BRL); total annual costs were converted into international dollars (Int$) taking the conversion rate for the year, considering purchasing power parity (PPP).¹²12.

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/PA....

With regard to ethical aspects, we used only publicly available secondary data where it is impossible to identify the individuals in question, thus respecting the ethical principles provided for by National Health Council (NHC) Resolution No. 466, dated December 12^th 2012; and NHC Resolution No. 510, dated April 7^th 2016. The study project was approved by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul Faculty of Medicine Research Commission (Compesq-Famed/UFRGS): Research Record No. 33.607, dated August 11^th 2017.

Results

Between January 2010 and December 2016, we found 46,035 SUS bariatric surgery hospitalizations for the whole of Brazil: 6,576 hospitalizations/year; or 4.3/100,000 inhab./year. Of these hospitalization, 39,307 were female patients (85.4%; 7.2/100,000 inhab./year) and 6,728 were male (14.6%; 1.3/100,000 inhab./year), while average age was 39.0 years (standard deviation: 10.4). Median hospital stay was 3 days and interquartile range was 2 days.

Table 1 shows the distribution of the hospitalizations we analyzed (2010-2016), by region of the country, sex and age range, considering the need or not for ICU. The Southern region had the highest population rates by sex and age range, with or without ICU use.

Of the 46,035 de bariatric surgery hospitalizations, 16,923 (36.8%) used an ICU, 13,855 (81.9%) of whom were female (Table 1).

With regard to lethality, there were 99 (0.2%) in-hospital deaths among SUS hospitalizations in the period 2010-2016: 65 (0.2%) in females and 34 (0.5%) in males. In-hospital lethality varied between 0.1% in the Northeast region and 1.1% in the Midwest region (Table 4).

Between 2010 and 2016, total SUS expenditure on bariatric surgery procedures was BRL 275,876,435.56 (Int$ 162,846,360.22), or BRL 39,410,919.37 (Int$ 23,263,765.75) per annum. Of the total amount, BRL 40,756,124.76 (14.8%) related to procedures with males and BRL 235,120,310.8 (85.2%) with females. Average cost per hospitalization was BRL 5,992.75 (BRL 1,464.15/day), with a difference of just 1.3% between the sexes: BRL 6,057.69 for males and BRL 5,981.64 for females (Table 5). Average cost of hospitalizations without ICU varied between BRL 5,536.05 in the Northeast region to BRL 5,740.46 in the Southeast region (national average: BRL 5,719.77), while the cost of hospitalizations with ICU oscillated between BRL 6,215.27 in the Northern region and BRL 6,525.67 in the Northeast region (national average: BRL 6,462.36) (data not shown in the Tables).

Discussion

In the period studied, bariatric surgery was characterized by the predominance of female patients, adults aged around 40 years old, gastroplasty with intestinal bypass, concentrated in the most developed regions of Brazil, with low lethality, frequent ICU use and similar cost between the sexes - despite the greater volume of expenditure on female patients.

Over the seven years analyzed (2010-2016), the hospitalization rate of 4.3/100,000 inhab./year represented a sevenfold increase in relation to the rate found by Kelles, Machado and Barreto for the year 2001 (0.6/100,000 inhab.).⁹9.

http://www.scielo.br/pdf/abcd/v27n4/pt_0...

Between 2010 and 2016, there was a 96.0% increase in the number of SUS hospitalizations for obesity followed by bariatric surgery procedures. When comparing the period 2010-2016 with the seven immediately preceding years (2003-2009), the number of bariatric surgery procedures performed by SUS increased 2.5 times (Kelles, Machado and Barreto).⁹9. Kelles SMB, Machado CJ, Barreto, SM. Dez anos de cirurgia bariátrica no Brasil: mortalidade intra-hopitalar em pacientes atendidos pelo Sistema Único de Saúde ou por Operadora da Saúde Suplementar.

Doi: 10.1590/S0102-67202014000400008
http://www.scielo.br/pdf/abcd/v27n4/pt_0... Over 14 years, average increase in this type of surgery was 12.7% per annum. This increase is 4.9 times greater than the increase in total surgical procedures performed by the public health system and is in line with the considerable increase in the prevalence of obesity in the Brazilian states.

Notwithstanding, the availability of bariatric surgery on the SUS still falls below demand: the length of time spent on the waiting list for this type of operation can vary between 1 and 4 years.¹³13. Khawali C, Ferraz MB, Zanella MT, Ferreira SRG. Evaluation of quality of life in severely obese patients after bariatric surgery carried out in the public health care system.

Doi: 10.1590/S0004-27302012000100006
http://www.scielo.br/pdf/abem/v56n1/v56n... Whereas more than 100,000 procedures per annum are performed by private and supplementary health services, SUS does not achieve so much as 10% of this total.

Increased frequency of bariatric surgery has been noted in various countries: in the United States they increased 41.7% in 4 years;14 in France, 400% in 10 years;15 and in England they increased more than 300% between 2006 and 2011.¹⁶16.

https://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.f245...

Despite there not being significant differences in obesity prevalence between males and females in Brazil - 18.1% versus 19.6% respectively -, the predominance we found for female bariatric surgery hospitalizations (85.4%) is compatible with other studies.⁹9.

A possible explanation for higher frequencies of bariatric surgery among females may be related to the fact of women being more concerned than men about their physical appearance.

With regard to median hospital stay and interquartile range, the fact of this issue not usually being approached in the literature made it impossible to make comparisons with other studies.

The most common bariatric procedure performed was gastroplasty with intestinal bypass (94.2%; or 43,370 operations), this also being the conclusion reached by other studies.²⁰20.

There are indications that being admitted to ICUs was in accordance with protocol recommendations in the majority of cases involving this type of surgery. However, consensus does not exist among surgeons as to the benefits of having postoperative care in an ICU following bariatric surgery. It is known that being admitted to an ICU prolongs recovery and hospital stay time and, consequently, increases SUS expenditure.²⁶26.

The proportion of bariatric surgery patients admitted to an ICU in our study was 6 times greater than the percentage limit (4.8% to 6.2%) recommended by the Ministry of Health,²⁸28.

In view of the lack of evidence of the benefits of routine post-bariatric admission to ICUs and in view of the insufficient amount of ICU beds in Brazil, more judicious analysis needs to be made, with the aim of reassessing the real need for intensive care among bariatric patients.

We found 0.2% in-hospital lethality among patients admitted for bariatric surgery over the period analyzed (2010-2016) and this was similar to the rates found by several other studies.⁹9.

http://www.scielo.br/pdf/abcd/v27n4/pt_0... it can be stated that a considerable reduction occurred.

With regard to hospitalization distribution between the Brazilian regions when comparing the period 2010-2016 with the period 2003-2009, bariatric procedures performed in SUS services increased 3.5 times in hospital establishments in the Southern region (250.2%), whereas procedures in the Midwest region fell by 24.9% between one period and the other.

The Southern and Southeast regions concentrated 89.4% of all operations performed in Brazil in the period analyzed; but more than half (53.6%) the procedures took place in Southern region hospitals. This result is similar to that found by a study involving all the country’s regions:²³23. Xavier DB, Ramalho WM, Silva EN.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.100... 58.0% of operations were concentrated in the Southern region.

According to the above mentioned study of the years 2001-2010, which was the period immediately prior to that covered by our study,⁹9. Kelles SMB, Machado CJ, Barreto, SM.

When comparing total expenditure (BRL 275,876,435.56) on operations performed in the period 2010-2016 with expenditure corresponding to the period 2003-2009 (BRL 77,818,248.23) reported in the study conducted by Kelles, Machado and Barreto,⁹9.

In the year 2000, WHO²⁹29. World Health Organization. Obesity: preventing and managing the global epidemic. WHO Technical Report Series n. 894 [Internet]. Geneva: World Health Organization ; 2000 [cited 2017 Mar 28]. Available from: Available from: http://www.who.int/nutrition/publications/obesity/WHO_TRS_894/en/
http://www.who.int/nutrition/publication... stated in its technical report that obesity was already accounting for 2.0% to 7.0% of total health expenditure at that time, depending on the country: in France percentage expenditure was lower (2.0%), while in the United States (7.8%) and Australia (10.0%) it was higher.

Apart from resulting in great weight loss, bariatric surgery is known to be effective in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemias, in addition to metabolic syndrome remission.⁵5. Carvalho PS, Moreira CLCB, Barelli MC, Oliveira FH, Guzzo MF, Miguel GPS, et al. Cirurgia bariátrica cura síndrome metabólica?

http://www.scielo.br/pdf/abem/v51n1/09.p...

These changes alone account for savings, both in expenditure on medication for diabetes and dyslipidemias and also in terms of the reduction in appointments with health professionals and tests performed. Despite its high cost, bariatric surgery is an excellent option, given its positive clinical effects and the reduction it implies in expenditure on treatment in the long term.³⁰30. Süssenbach SP, Padoin AV, Silva EN, Benzano D, Pufal MA, Barhouch AS, et al. Economic benefits of bariatric surgery. Obes Surg [Internet]. 2012 Feb [cited 2019 Feb 20];22(2):266-70.

Standing out among the limitations of this study are those arising from the use of SUS Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS) databases which were created for administrative purposes. Given the administrative and accounting objective of the system, hospital readmissions and/or data alteration are possible, as are coding or diagnosis errors.

A great step forward was made in treating obesity by including bariatric surgery as part of the procedures covered by the Brazilian National Health System (SUS) with effect from 1999, as well as the changes brought about with the publication of Ministerial Ordinances No. 424 and No. 425 in 2013,⁷7.
