Bariatric surgery worldwide has grown significantly over the past years and is performed, in a vast majority, in women of childbearing age. The impact of these procedures on birth rates remains largely unknown.
Objective
The main objective was to study the evolution of the birth rates in these women, before and after bariatric surgery and in comparison with women from the general population. The secondary objectives were to compare the birth rates before and after surgery according to the Body Mass Index (BMI) (BMI 40–50 versus >50 kg/m2).
Method
Our analyses are based on a national medico-administrative database. All women of childbearing age and who had bariatric surgery between 2012 and 2016 were included, and we included all deliveries between 2012 and 2018 in this population. We compared the birth rates before and after bariatric surgery. National statistics (INSEE, Institut National de la Statistique et des Etudes Economiques) were used for comparison with women from the general population.
Findings
A total of 69,932 women were included between 2012 and 2016, with a median age at surgery of 33 years [27; 39]. Among them, 9391 (13%) had a BMI over 50 kg/m2 before surgery, 46,818 (67%) benefited from a sleeve gastrectomy (SG), and 23,376 (33%) from a gastric bypass (GBP). Birth rates tend to be smaller after surgery compared to before surgery for women under 27 years (OR: 0.92, CI95% [0.88; 0.96]), while being not different after 27 in both groups (OR: 1.00, CI95% [0.97; 1.03]). Birth rates of obese women who have benefited or will benefit from the bariatric surgery were higher than the general population, with a peak at a younger age, and then decline earlier than the general population. Trends were different according to BMI class. Birth rates were higher for women with BMI between 40 and 50 kg/m2 compared to women with BMI greater than 50 kg/m2 (OR=1.28, CI95% [1.21; 1.36]) before surgery while slightly lower after surgery (OR=0.95, CI95% [0.91; 0.99]).
Conclusions and Relevance
We showed that birth rates after bariatric surgery were not different before and after bariatric surgery except for women under 27 years old who had a smaller birth rate. Interestingly, we observed an improvement of birth rates after surgery for women with a BMI of 50 kg/m2 or more.

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
Das Webinar beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
