Zusammenfassung

Our analysis shows that metabolic-bariatric surgery leads to a relevant reduction in antidiabetic medications and their costs in everyday care. However, 3-year follow-up data is limited in this data set leading to wide confidence intervals. Mixed models help estimate mean costs and number of medications, but a higher number of patients would be preferable for estimates. With the introduction of the structured ACHT-program, other important aspects of care, such as access to local medical follow-up, psychological support and quality of life, will be evaluated.
