NIHR HTA of Bariatric Surgery
• Bariatric surgery was cost-effective in comparison to non-surgical treatment in the published estimates.
• Estimates are unlikely to be reliable and not generalizable because of methodological shortcoming and modeling assumptions.

• Development of a new economic model
• Surgical management was more costly than non-surgical management but gave improved outcomes.
• Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios of £2000-£4000 per QALY gained – within the cost-effectiveness range for NHS decision-making.

Conclusion
• Bariatric Surgery is clinically effective and cost-effective as compared to non-surgical interventions.
• Uncertainties:– QOL– Impact of surgeon experience– Late complications leading to re-operation– Duration of co-morbidity remission– Potential benefits of early intervention
