Duke University researchers have developed a new scoring system that they believe can help guide patient decisions regarding gastric bypass surgery.

The five-point scale includes factors that may increase the risk someone will die following the procedure.

The scale was based on a study of gastric bypass outcomes collected from 2,075 patients who had the procedure at Virginia Commonwealth University between 1995 and 2004. Thirty-one patients died within three months of the operation, for a mortality rate of 1.5 percent. The analysis linked a higher risk of death to:

  • A body mass index over 50. (Normal BMI is 18.5-25)
  • Gender. The authors note men are at higher risk for a host of medical problems including high blood pressure, diabetes, and metabolic disorder, which could impact survival rates
  • High blood pressure
  • Risk factors for a pulmonary embolism (blood clot to the lungs)
  • Advanced age. People over age 45 are known to have a higher mortality rate following the surgery

Each factor in the scale is worth one point. Three deaths were noted among the 957 patients scoring between 0-1, for a mortality rate of 0.31 percent. No deaths were recorded among the 356 scoring 0. Among the 999 patients scoring between 2-3, there were 19 deaths, for a mortality rate of 1.91 percent. Among the 119 patients scoring between four and five, there were nine deaths, for a mortality rate of 7.56 percent.

The take home message, note the researchers, is waiting to having gastric bypass surgery may not be a good idea. "Many people see gastric bypass surgery as an option to use only when all other approaches to weight loss have failed," says study author Eric DeMaria, M.D. "However, our system shows that this strategy may need to be reconsidered. If patients put off surgery while they attempt other therapies that ultimately don't work, over time, they risk moving into a higher-risk category as they gain more weight, get older, or develop hypertension. In these cases, delays can make surgery even riskier."

Better to avoid back pain than to cure it after injury

At least 25 percent of Americans suffer from back pain, according to recent national surveys. Many have strained muscles or ligaments. Others have damaged their nerves, bones or discs.

Don't expect medicine to bail you out after you get hurt, says chiropractor Daniel A. Shaye. Take these steps to stay healthy:

Lift correctly. Keep objects as close to your body as possible. Bend with your knees and lean slightly forward from the waist (if your back is very straight, your weight might shift too suddenly and strain unprepared muscles). But avoid twisting your body -- point your feet in the direction you want to go before you lift.

When moving a heavy object along the ground, push. Don't pull.

Drink plenty of water. The shock-absorbing discs in your spine are made

Maintain a healthy weight. The lower back has to support much of the body's weight.

Stay active. Aerobic activities, strength training and balance exercises (think yoga or tai chi) all can decrease pain and strengthen muscles that support the spine.

Always warm up before heavy exertion. Warm muscles are more flexible and less likely to tear.

Avoid high heels. Regular use of shoes higher than an inch off the ground likely will cost you.

Don't slouch. Bad posture strains muscles in your lower back.

Help children wear backpacks correctly. Look for models that have wide straps and tell kids to wear straps over both shoulders.

If back pain lasts several days, call your doctor or a chiropractor.

If the pain is severe or you also feel numbness or pain in your legs, call your doctor immediately.
