Area of Science:

  • Bariatric Surgery
  • Mental Health
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Self-harm behaviors are prevalent in individuals seeking bariatric surgery.
  • The impact of bariatric surgery on these behaviors remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the incidence of self-harm behaviors before and after bariatric surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A population-based, longitudinal cohort analysis of 8815 adults in Ontario, Canada.
  • Follow-up included 3 years pre-surgery and 3 years post-surgery.
  • Self-harm emergencies were the primary outcome measure.

Main Results:

  • Self-harm emergencies significantly increased post-bariatric surgery (RR 1.54).
  • Elevated risks were observed in patients over 35, those with low income, and rural residents.
  • Intentional overdose was the most common self-harm method, often in patients with pre-existing mental health disorders.

Conclusions:

  • Bariatric surgery is associated with an increased risk of self-harm emergencies.
  • Routine screening for suicide risk is crucial during post-operative follow-up.
