    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of rhabdomyolysis (RML) following bariatric surgery and potential associated factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and CENTRAL for relevant trials from database inception through August 2022. Articles were eligible for inclusion if they reported the prevalence of RML after bariatric surgery and provided at least one of the following outcome indicators: preoperative mean BMI/mean operative time for the included population. RESULTS: Sixteen studies with a total of 1540 patients were analyzed. The mean preoperative age distribution of the included patients was centered between 32.9 and 47.0 years, and the mean preoperative BMI ranged from 42.3 to 60.0 kg/m2. The operative time varied between 126.7 and 403.3 min. The overall pooled crude prevalence of post-bariatric surgery RML was 19.4%. Subgroup analyses showed the pooled prevalence of RML was 8.1% for operative duration > 120 and ≤ 180 min, 32.8% for > 180 and ≤ 240 min, and 47.4% for > 240 min. Meta-regression revealed that operation time was an independent risk factor for developing RML. Besides, BMI > 50 kg/m2 and open Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) indicated a higher risk of RML. CONCLUSION: Post-bariatric surgery RML prevalence occurred more frequently with the extension of the operation time. For bariatric subjects with surgery time > 180 min, open RYGB, or BMI > 50 kg/m2, CKP could be routinely measured early to verify the presence of RML and to actively prevent its fatal complications.
