Relative Profitability

Addresses how flow times and capacity calculations can be made for a service process such as the Bariatric Surgery Center at a clinic. Highlights how these calculations can be made for a service process just as in any manufacturing setting. Discusses the notions of critical paths and bottlenecks and what factors affect both time and capacity. Also, discusses the relative profitability of two types of bariatric surgery, the goal being to link product profitability to the process.

Objective: To examine sleep behaviors and their associations with health characteristics in a cohort of adolescents with severe obesity undergoing bariatric surgery at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Methods: A retrospective chart review of electronic medical records was performed. All patients receiving care at the Children’s Hospital Colorado (CHCO) Bariatric Surgery Center between 06/17-08/19 were included. Demographic, medical and family history, self-reported sleep behaviors, and laboratory measures were abstracted, including medical problem list (e.g., type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypertension) and body mass index (BMI). A sleep behavior risk score (SBRS) was developed using five criteria (short sleep defined as <8 hrs/night, variability of sleep timing greater than 60 minutes, daytime naps, bedtime past midnight, and mobile devices in bed). Participants were classified as having a high SBRS if they met three or more of the criteria. T-tests were used to examine the differences between baseline health characteristics by SBRS score. Results: Data from 78 patients, aged 16.82.1, were reviewed. The majority of patients were female (71%), Hispanic (52%) and in 10-12 th grade in school (64%). Prior to surgery, 24% of the patients were diagnosed with hypertension and 20% with type 2 diabetes. The majority of patients (60%) had a high SBRS at baseline. High SBRS was significantly associated with higher baseline BMI (49.2 vs 45.0; p=0.03). SBRS score was not significantly associated with diagnosis of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, or obstructive sleep apnea. Conclusions: In a population of adolescents seen in the Bariatric Surgery Center at CHCO, a majority of patients met criteria for high risk sleep behaviors, and worse sleep behaviors preoperatively were related to higher baseline BMI. A high SBRS may adversely impact adolescents’ overall health prior to surgery, which may have implications for weight loss success post-surgery. The evaluation for sleep health should be more rigorously evaluated and standardized as part of efforts to improve health outcomes in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
